Darling followed the Oochi brothers into the building to find Fujio and their friend, Arata. It takes them a minute to find the room the two guys are in. They enter an apartment that looks to be like the headquarters of Kidra. There are vials of Redrum scattered on the floor, along with some bills scattered and a bag stuffed with money. Fujio and who she guesses is Arata are fighting each other, beating the shit out of each other.

Well, damn.

Masaya and Shinya step forward to stop their friends from fighting each other.

Fujio tries to punch Arata once more while yelling his name but is stopped by Shinya, hooking his arms around Fujio's arm. Darling stands next to Masaya just as Arata falls down to his knees. She crouches down next to Arata, resting a hand on Arata's shoulder which gets him to look at her.

"Hi, we've never met. But after all of this is done, I can get you a job if you will let me. Very quickly and completely legal. It's gonna be okay."

Arata starts to tear up, looking away from the female and leans forward onto his hands while starting to sob. Darling pulls her hand away, feeling a little awkward. She can understand why he is crying but that doesn't mean she can't feel awkward with him crying. The feeling continues to grow when he start to wail as he sobs. She takes this exact moment to leave the four childhood friends and waits outside just as everyone else starts to yell out in victory. It doesn't take long for Fujio to come out and join her.

Darling helps Fujio a bit as he walks to join her to look over the railing. They lean on the railing and look down. Jamie instantly notices them, yelling out their names.

"Fujio-san! Darling!"

Fujio holds his fist up, an arm wrapped around Darling to hold himself up while she looks down, meeting eyes with Ueda who is looking up at the and sends him a smirk.

All of Oya and Housen are on the ground floor as they continue to yell out in victory.

The Oochi brothers and Fujio convince Darling to go with them to take Arata to meet up with Madoka and Seki. So here she is, helping Fujio carry Arata with his arm around her shoulder to the Harasawa Store. Fujio, Arata and Darling briefly stop as Arata can look up at the store. They continue to walk before stopping in front of a on the verge of crying Madoka and a serious looking Seki.

"Arata..." Seki starts, staring at his friend before smiling. "Welcome back."

Madoka brings her hand up, covering her lower face as she cries. "Welcome home." Before crying more.

Arata laughs a bit before starting to cry again.

Darling smiles as she watches the childhood friends.

This is nice.

A few days later, Darling follows Fujio and the faction leaders to watch Fujio fight their new friend, Ueda Sachio. At the exact temple Darling, Sachio and Fujio first met each other.

"Thanks for listening to my request." Fujio starts off.

"Ever since the first time we met," Sachio looks straight at Fujio. "I figured this would happen."

The two rush forward towards each other and start to fight. Darling keeps an eye on the fight as she takes a seat on the ground, knowing the fight is going to take awhile.
