"Heard about the incident that happened yesterday?" Takeomi asked, pulling out a cigarette from his pocket. He leaned against the wall as he lit his cigarette.

Benkei was beside him, who was also leaning against the wall. "Yeah..Kantou Manji really wants to take over Tokyo huh.." he said, frowning as he thought about a certain gang. Takeomi hummed in response as he removed his cigarette from his mouth, blowing some smoke out through his mouth.

Wakasa went up to them saying, "I heard that someone nearly died yesterday.." Takeomi hummed in response and continued smoking. They're currently at Wakasa's gym, where they all normally hang out for a bit.

Then Benkei suddenly thought of someone. He looked at Takeomi and said, "I still couldn't believe that [first name]...didn't tell us.." Wakasa nearly flinched when he heard Benkei mention that name. Takeomi hummed, "Yeah, me too." he responded, with his cigarette between his fingers. Then he glanced at Senju standing outside Wakasa's gym, looking at the bright sky. "I didn't expect her to come back to the world of delinquency.." said Takeomi as he placed his cigarette back in his mouth. "Knowing her, she's not interested in that kind of crap." he added.

Wakasa stayed quiet, listening to his friends' conversation. He knew exactly what they were talking about—since he was the first one to know about her being Kantou Manji's top 2.

Benkei looked down, recalling their days in Black Dragon—the days back when they were all in their youth. "I remember she only joined because Shin begged her." he said, letting out a weak smile. Takeomi chuckled softly, "She was the only girl back then..and the youngest." said Takeomi as his mind began to remember how the 13-year-old [first name] Sano was back then.

Benkei chuckled and said, "Yeah.." Then Benkei glanced at Wakasa and saw that he was spacing out. Wakasa's lilac tired-looking eyes were focused on the floor, as he began to go deep into his thoughts. Benkei knew that mentioning [first name] was the reason why he became quiet. Takeomi followed Benkei's gaze and saw what he was looking at. Takeomi sighed softly, "It sucks that you guys broke up.." he said, causing Benkei to flinch and look at him. "Again.." Takeomi added.

"Dude..?!" Benkei exclaimed between his teeth. Takeomi gave Benkei a weird look, "What?" he asked completely clueless.

Wakasa didn't respond for a moment, he just continued to stare at the floor, thinking about [first name]...and how they broke up a year ago. He shook the thought away and turned his attention back to his friends, "Well, it's been a year. There's nothing I can do about it.." he said in his usual bored tone.

Benkei and Takeomi just stared at him, knowing that he still hasn't moved on about it. Then without saying anything else, Wakasa turned his back on them and began walking away—heading outside his gym. Senju was still leaning against the railings, she watched Wakasa walk past her, with his signature laidback look on his face.

Takeomi slouched and looked at Benkei boringly, "Now look what you've done.." he said. Benkei flinched and immediately turned to him, "Me?! You're the one who mentioned their breakup!" Benkei yelled.
