Touya had just walked into the spot as Rei looked at Kuro.

Rei: Thank you... you're going to be an amazing hero...

Something in Kuro's chest again ached as the boy quickly faced away from Rei.

Rei: Is everything okay?

Kuro slowly turns around to face the lady.

Kuro: *smiling* Yeah.

Rei looks at the boy in confusion as a soft smile soon falls upon her face.

She pats her bed, signaling the boy to sit beside her as Kuro slowly sits down. Rei takes Kuro's hands into her own and looks at the boy.

Rei: *smiling* I've seen a lot of smiles in my time here, boy. I know instantly when I see one if it's fake or real. So... what's the matter?

Kuro: No... it's nothing... really.

Rei: *smiling* It's okay. I won't tell anyone.

Kuro: I... Ms. Rei... you really think I can be called a hero?

Rei: *confused* What? Of course you can.

Kuro: No... I mean... I'm not... what you think I am... I...

Before the boy could say anything else, he felt arms being wrapped around him as Rei softly hugged the boy.

Rei: That doesn't matter. You did good things. Even if Touya and his teammates were villains who had hurt others, you decided to give them a second chance. And to me, that's more heroic than anything else.

Kuro: Thanks... Mo-

He quickly changes his words.

Kuro: Ms. Rei. Thanks, Ms. Rei. I-I'll be going now.

He quickly gets up and stumbles as he almost falls down. Rei couldn't help but chuckle at the boy's antics.

Kuro grabs the camera and looks at Rei.

Kuro: I swear I will do everything I can to get you out of here and with your family.

Rei smiles at the boy as Kuro walks into a spot.

Tsukauchi was just done with his coffee as all the man wanted, was to lie down on his chair and relax.

That is why, the last thing he expected was for Kuro to come in front of him out of nowhere.

Tsukauchi: Kuro?! What are you doing here?!

Kuro: *serious* I need to speak with you.

The detective couldn't help but feel intimidated by the serious aura that the boy was emitting.

Tsukauchi: R-Right. What is it?

Kuro says nothing as he takes the cassette out of the recorder and inserts it in the cassette player.

Once the video was over, Tsukauchi was dumbstruck. He couldn't believe that someone could stoop that low.

Tsukauchi: This is legit, right?

Kuro: As legit as it gets.

Tsukauchi: So, what's the plan?

Kuro: Put Endeavor on trial and further, in jail. Get Ms. Rei out of the mental hospital and with Shoto and the others.

Tsukauchi: I'm sorry for being rude, but evidence taken from a mere teenager would hardly be considered legal.

Kuro: That's why I wish to remain anonymous.
