you finally made it back to inzauma. the ride back awfully quiet. no one seemed to talk much. especially heizou. he never spoke a word the whole ride. you would constantly tell yourself 'i'm sorry.'
you got out of the boat and stepped onto the sand. you looked around. you had the feeling as if you've been here your whole life, never leaving. you wondered how your mother would react if she say you grown up but as a fatui. 'will she hate me? will it change her whole perspective of me?' you asked yourself.
the five of you started walking down the shoreline towards your home. but you slowed down when you saw where you and heizou would sit together. you marked the area so you wouldn't forget the spot. you stopped in your tracks and stared at the spot, rethinking all the memories you and heizou have made.
you looked over to heizou, who was also eyeing the spot. you smiled at him, hoping it would help become less gloomy. it did slightly. "the old days..." you mumbled. heizou come up behind you, not saying anything. he merely just sighed and placed his hand gently on your shoulder.
kazuha and aether noticed that you two stopped behind them and turned around. "what's wrong?" kazuha asked, going up to you guys.
"no, nothing... just reliving memories." heizou slowly took his hand off your shoulder as you said those words. "let's keep moving." you then looked away forcefully and walked towards the house behind it.
heizou went in front of the group and knocked on the door. you hid behind heizou as a way to surprise her.
the door opened slowly. "detective!" your mom said like a bolt from the blue. "any news about y/n? is she okay?!"
"i'm doing fine, thanks." you said calmly but joyfully. your mom's eyes widened as you popped out behind the group.
"y/n?!"
"hi mom." you smiled at her as you went up to hug her. she returned your embrace as tears of joy fell down her cheeks.
you soon loosened as your mom sniffled and whipped her tears. she placed her hand on your cheek, rubbing gently. "i missed you so much."
"i missed you too..." you kept your contagious smile. heizou smiled at the reunion. your mother turned to the group behind the two of you. "thank you so much." the three bowed their heads.
your smile dropped when you looked back to the group, realizing what has to come next. "we need to talk." your face went serious and you walked farther into the home. everyone followed you inside.
"are you sure?" kazuha whispered to you.
"it's the only way..." kazuha recognized your sad expression but he felt like he couldn't do anything about it.
"what's going on?" your mother asked, concerned.
"there's a lot going on. but i can't get into too much detail."
