"I don't know how much pain you're feeling. But it's not embarrassing to ask for help."

The next day, the twins decided to go under the bridge, where Housen and Oya High previously fought, to talk to Erika in private.

The girl didn't hesitate to go and meet them. The twins were right that they didn't need to persuade her into coming. 

Erika shows up fifteen minutes after the twins as she comes with two thugs behind her. Kiko and Nozomi looked at each other and shrugged it off. They can take them down if they need to. 

"What, been wondering how I got away?" Erika questioned with a smirk on her face.

"No, we just wanted to talk," Nozomi calmly replied. 

"What do you fucking want to say, huh?! Didn't I make it clear that I don't like you when I pushed you down the stairs?!" Erika yelled as she glared at the younger twin.

Kiko's jaw tightened in anger as she stepped forward causing Erika to glance in her direction.

"We're not here to fight you, alright?" Kiko told her. "We're just here to talk if that ain't clear to you."

"You're just wasting my time!"

"I'm sorry!" Kiko exclaimed. "I'm sorry for everything! For what happened to Mari!"

Erika stared at her as she felt her heart quicken at the mention of her dead sister's name.

"Shut the fuck up!" she yelled.

"No, I won't! Look, I know you're still hurting about what happened to your sister but you know! You know yourself that this is not what she wants for you!" Kiko yelled back.

"I SAID SHUT UP!" Erika screamed as she ran towards Kiko and slapped her. Nozomi gasped and was about to walk to her twin but Kiko stopped her.

She looked at Erika with a calm look. "Mari was a nice person and you were lucky to have her as your sister. She was a good friend of ours, too."

"SHUT UP!" Erika yelled and punched her in the face causing Kiko to stumble a bit but she regained her balance and pinned her gaze on the young girl. 

"I should have known what you were feeling when she died but I was too swallowed up with my own grief that I forgot someone else was hurting too until my sister helped me to realize it." Erika punched her once again but Kiko didn't falter. Nozomi looked at her sister with tears brimming in her eyes.
