[NAME]'s legs dangled as she sat on a swing. After what happened with Keisuke yesterday, she was in desperate need of alone time. He was a founding member... How could he just betray everyone like that? How could he betray Mikey like that?
She let out a shaky breath and held her hands in her head. She couldn't cry. She had to stay strong. So why did the tears keep flowing? Why couldn't she hold them back?
"Excuse me?"
"Go away..." [NAME] murmured, her voice trembling.
"But I think I know you! [NAME]-chan?"
[NAME] looked up quickly, her eyes blurred with tears. She couldn't recognize the person at first, but when she wiped her eyes, it became obvious who it was. And it was all because of the tiger tattoo on his neck.
"... Kazutora...?"
He smiled and tilted his head slightly. He looked... different. His hair was much longer than she remembered, and streaks of it were dyed blonde. But it was still Kazutora.
She looked at him with wide eyes that slowly filled with tears. He was sent to juvie two years ago for doing something despicable. Something that changed [NAME]'s life. He was the one who killed Shinichiro. And, despite being best friends, she couldn't forgive him.
"Did you miss me, [NAME]-chan? I missed you!" He mused in a sickly sweet voice.
He reached out to pull her into a hug, but she quickly stood and stepped away. He looked at her, his smile faltering.
"Hmm? What's wrong, [NAME]-chan?"
"... What's wrong...? What's wrong?! You think I'm just gonna forget what you did?!" She shouted, "You killed Shinichiro, for fuck's sake! You think I'm just gonna blow over that and hug you?!"
His smile left his face completely, giving way to a blank slate. He stared at her for a long time before sighing.
"You don't understand, [NAME]-chan... But don't worry. I get it. I was just like you before I realized the truth."
"What're you talking about?! What truth?!"
"It was Mikey's fault that I went to prison. Everything is and always will be his fault. You just haven't realized that yet. It's okay though, really! With me, you can-"
"They should've sent you to a fucking mental hospital! Get away from me!"
[NAME] turned on her heel to leave, but before she could, Kazutora suddenly grabbed her wrist and spun her around. He held her tightly by her shoulders and leaned down until their noses nearly touched.
"It's rude to interrupt people when they're talking, don't you think, [NAME]-chan?"
"You're crazy! Get away from me!" She shouted, wrestling herself out of his grip.
"Mikey really has brainwashed you, huh? Mm... Did he ever tell you about his secret?" [NAME] didn't stop walking, not wanting to hear whatever lies he came up with. "Mikey's in love with you, [NAME]!"
Those words made her pause for a moment, but she quickly continued walking, not believing what he said. Not wanting to believe what he said. Behind her, Kazutora grinned, tucking his hands into his pockets.
"Hah... Not as much as I love you, though..." He mumbled under his breath before turning and walking off.

"You sure you're alright, Chifuyu?"
"It's not that bad, really!"
[NAME] looked at him incredulously, but he was insistent on it, so she said nothing more. Chifuyu, who was the vice-captain of the first division of Toman, told her what happened yesterday. About how Keisuke beat him up to prove his loyalty to Valhalla. And how Kazutora was there. [NAME] thought Kazutora was just wearing a white jacket, but then again, she didn't see the back of it, so she didn't see the logo of Valhalla on it.
[NAME] glanced up, seeing someone walking on the sidewalk. Someone familiar...
"Takemitchy?" She called out, causing the boy to look over at her in surprise.
"Oh, [NAME]...! And..." he looked at Chifuyu, his body tensing slightly.
"Chifuyu," [NAME] finished, "First division leader of Toman."
"Huh?! Aren't you the guy Baji beat the shit out of?!"
"Shut up!" Chifuyu shouted, his face turning red, "You should be thanking Keisuke!"
"Huh? Why should I be doing that?!"
"You ruined the nomination ceremony. If Keisuke hadn't punched you, you would have been in an even worse predicament. He beat me up to join Valhalla, but... Keisuke didn't join Valhalla in order to wipe out Toman."
[NAME] stood alongside Chifuyu, watching him curiously.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"Keisuke has a different plan. It's Kisaki."
That name... It made [NAME] tense, a bad feeling rushing over her. Kisaski... The one who was nominated as the third division leader... The one she had a bad feeling about. She knew it. She knew there was something off about him, and she was happy she wasn't the only one who thought so.
