Takemichi's eyes darted around the room that Naoto lead him to. The bright lights illuminated on the light peach colored walls, stacks of folders with colorful post it markers, a white telephone with Hina's photo and a whiteboard filled with photos of only two people he could make out of along with various information about them written in black marker.

Two days have passed since Naoto had saved him from the train tracks and Takemichi has done nothing but allow him and his brain to be filled with information. For Takemichi, it was already information overflow, the cans of energy drinks besides him can explain it for him.

Takemichi yawns, stretching his neck upwards. However, when he heard Naoto clear his throat, he immediately made a sound and sat up straight.

"I'll teach you everything there is to know about Tokyo Manji Gang." Naoto told him before taking a sip on his cup of coffee.

Takemichi sighs, knowing to himself that he'll have to stay up another day without sleep and allow his brain to take up more information. Leaning his back on the black swivel chair, he turns his body a little and stares at the left side of the room. Although his eyes landed on the framed photo of Hina, he couldn't help but dart his eyes up - three large photos can be seen pasted on the whiteboard. On the left side is Kisaki Tetta, in the middle was Sano Manjiro and on the right side was-

"Hey Naoto" Takemichi begins to say, turning his seat to face Naoto. "I get it that you want to get avenge for Hina but why did you have to stick her photo besides those guys?" Takemichi asks, turning to face the whiteboard again while squinting his eyes. "And Hina looks really different here." He adds.

"That's not Hina." Naoto says, his hands gripping on the handle of his white mug before slightly losing his grip a little. "I can't believe you forgot about Hina's twin sister."

Takemichi's eyes widens in surprise, goosebumps coursing through his arms and legs. Now that Naoto told him, it confirmed his thoughts as to why Hina looked a whole lot different on the developed photo. 

"That's Hinari. Hinata's twin and my other older sister." Naoto says.

In the photo, a woman who looked like in her later twenties can be seen entering a luxurious hotel with long, black hair, dark round shaped shades covering her eyes and red wine colored lipstick.

"Tachibana Hinari...is Sano Manjiro's right hand woman."
