It's two days since Izana left. You are now walking around the garden as you remembered a memory. You smiled and so you decided to sit down at the very spot where that memory happened.

The memory was from way back then. It happened a week after you met Izana and Kaku. You were all alone during that time sitting at this very spot, you were drawing something on a piece of paper.

"That's my earrings..." Izana's voice startled you. He was standing behind you.

"Why do you always appear out of nowhere?" you asked as you held your chest.

He only smiled at you as he sat down beside you, Kaku on your other side.

"Why are you drawing my earrings?" he asked.

You stared at the drawing and then back at his earrings. You smiled at him.

"Because they're beautiful."

Kaku was now holding your sketch because he's amazed that you can draw.

"I'll get you something like this too... wait, let me check." Izana reached for your ears and saw that they weren't pierced at all.

He smiled genuinely as he oats your head making you look at him in confusion.

"I'll get you the same thing but not earrings so you won't have to get your ears pierced."

You stared at him as he asked Kaku for the sketch. The both of them are now trying to copy the drawing you just did but they're laughing because it turns out ugly.

As you sat there reminiscing, you held the necklace. It was the necklace he promised that very day, the charm looked the exact same as his earrings except the size, yours was smaller. The gifts he'd give you during your birthdays has always been from a promise he made to you during the early days of your friendship. It made you happy that Izana remembers every single one of them, and it would always be so beautiful. 

From the outside of the hospital, there stood Mikey, Izana's half brother. He's been receiving tip from Takemitchy that Izana was always here during the past week and he needed to know what his brother was up to. He had no idea what's even here but he still wanted to see so he brought Takemitchy and Draken with him. 

They can't just ask in the front desk where Izana's been going so they just had to look around. Takemitchy also don't know about this since he hasn't seen someone with Izana, except Kaku. And there is no way that it was Kaku that once stayed here since he was always with Tenjiku. 

"Takemitchy. how the hell will we find anything here?" Mikey whined as he sat on the ground. 

"Sorry, Mikey." Takemitchy let out a nervous chuckle. 

"Are you sure you saw Izana here?" Draken asked.

"Ofcourse I am! I can't be mistaken!"

They are now in the garden too, since they had no one to visit here they can't go around the hospital except the garden. Draken was keeping guard because this territory is Izana's and the doctors are probably related to him in some way. 

Mikey was looking around because he's bored now and want to go but Takemitchy kept thinking about a plan so they had to stay. A girl sitting a few feet away from them caught his eyes, she was right there with a notebook and a pen. She was wearing a white dress and a nasal cannula. 

"That girl's probably a patient, I'll go ask her." Mikey said a she stands up.

"Oi Mikey that's probably not a good idea, she could be a spy you know." Takemitchy argued.

"I'll be subtle about it, don't worry." he whispered.

Draken shook his head as Mikey walked towards the girl. She looked up at him because his shadow blocked her sketch. And to Mikey's surprise, she was wearing a necklace that had a charm similar to Izana's. Takemitchy followed Mikey and was shocked to see the necklace too. 

"Mikey... she's..." Takemitchy whispered.

Mikey nodded and looked at Takemitchy, signaling to him that they need a change of plan. Since the girl they found was the one who Izana kept visiting. They knew Izana's earrings very well and that the symbol in it meant a lot to him, so seeing this girl wear one in her necklace is a big deal. This girl is probably very important to Izana. 

"Excuse me?" you asked because they've been staring at you for a long time now.

Mikey smiled as he sat down beside you, looking at what you're doing. You hid your notebook because you don't like others looking at your sketches.

"Oh, sorry for disturbing you." he said with a smile.

Mikey just can't get his eyes off of your necklace so he glances at it from time to time to check if it really is real. He just can't imagine that his brother has someone close to him besides Kaku. 

"I visited someone here today, a good friend of mine." he lied.

"Oh. Sorry about that." you mumbled.

"He's doing good, so it's fine. How about you? Why are you here?"

"Uhm, I'm a patient here." 

Mikey then looked at your arms and realized that you had lots of bandages around you wrists and arms. He scanned your face and saw how fragile you looked despite your rosy cheeks and lips. You do look like a patient except your clothes. 

"I'm... I'm sorry to hear that. I didn't mean to be rude. Sorry."

You smiled at him and waved your hand to dismiss his sad expressions. 

"I'm doing fine too, don't be sorry."

"You're a kind person..." Mikey said as he stared at your smiling face. 

"How can you be so sure?" you asked.

"I can just tell."

Mikey immediately sensed that you are indeed a good person and that you're probably Izana's Queen. There's no other way around it and the necklace proved that. His thoughts stopped when he heard the faintest sound of a motorbike, and it sounded like Tenjiku's for some reason. His senses never fails him so he looked at Draken. 

"We need to go." Draken said to Mikey.

"Yeah, I can hear the impulse." he answered.

You looked up at Mikey again as he stands up. He pats your head and smiled at you. He feels how warm you are so he couldn't help but pat your head like a good kid.

"We need to go now. I'll see you again soon! Take care!"

"Okay, take care too." you smiled. 

Mikey left without exposing his identity or even asking anything about Izana. Seeing your innocent eyes and your unexplainable warmth, he decided to let this information slip. He didn't want to get you involved regarding the conflict between Tenjiku and Toman, not even the slightest bit.

You waved at them as you watch them leave. You smiled at how they were the only visitors who talked to you when they saw you. At some point, he reminds you of Izana and you don't know why.

"Why didn't you ask her a single clue about Izana? You said you'll be subtle about it but you didn't even ask." Takemitchy asked as he scratched his head.

The three of them are in Toman's hideout now.

"That girl is different, Takemitchy. We can't mess with her." Draken answered.

Mikey looked up at the sky and smiled.

"My brother loves her. I'm glad to know that he has someone, that he still has a heart."

Draken smiled at Mikey's realization. He's happy that despite the conflict, Mikey still sees Izana as his brother. And that deep inside, he didn't want to fight him and he wanted save him.

Takemitchy on the other hand kept searching his head for information about you from the future. But since he hasn't met Izana back in the future, he can't recall anything. You probably wasn't even mentioned in the future. But he has a bad feeling about things and he can't explain why.
