Three days before Christmas
Location: On the other side of town
Third POV:
On the other side of town, a quiet little meeting was taking place.
Not wanting to draw unnecessary attention to themselves, Mitsuya and Mikey stood outside the Shiba family home with Yuzuha only a few feet away. The winter air bit at their skin, but none of them seemed to care. Yuzuha kept her head lowered, her arms wrapped around herself as she struggled to process everything that had happened.
Mitsuya stood with his hands buried deep inside his pockets, staring at the ground.
For several seconds, nobody spoke.
The silence between them felt heavier than the cold.
Finally, Mitsuya took a sharp breath and looked toward Yuzuha.
"I spoke with Taiju today," he said quietly.
Yuzuha's shoulders stiffened.
She already knew.
"I know," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.
After a moment, she reluctantly lifted her head.
"Taiju..." She paused, struggling to find the right words. "Taiju has connections with a lot of wealthy people. Whenever they have problems, he lends them his division's... military power."
Mikey glanced toward her, his expression remaining surprisingly calm.
"Because of that, Taiju secretly makes a lot of money," Yuzuha continued. "They pay him for handling their problems."
Neither Mikey nor Mitsuya looked particularly surprised.
What did surprise them was learning that Yuzuha had been the one responsible for collecting that money.
The realization made Mitsuya's expression fall.
Yuzuha had spent years carrying responsibilities that should never have been placed on her shoulders.
And now, thanks to them, she was finally free from one of those burdens.
At least one of the Shiba siblings had managed to escape.
But there was still Hakkai.
And then there was Y/n.
Mikey stood nearby with a fish-shaped pastry hanging from his mouth, watching Yuzuha carefully. His usual carefree expression was nowhere to be found.
