After half an hour of driving within the Nagano prefecture, they are now driving in a zone that is very isolated. The sign said, "ようこそ、桜の花の街へ Welcome to the town of Sakura No Hana". There was a small sign that under it that said, "人口：4,500人以上（2022年12月現在）Population: 4,500+ (as of December 2022)".
"You see that Lincoln, honey? We're in Sakura No Hana, now!" Sumiko said. "Yeah... cool..." Lincoln said, tired. He then let out a big yawn. "Aw, are you sleepy, honey?" Sumiko asked. "Uh... huh..." Lincoln mumbled. "You go to sleep, baby. We still have little ways to go." Sumiko said. "Ok, ma... ma..." Lincoln mumbled before falling asleep. Sumiko silently said, "Aww..." as she saw her son fall asleep.
After a while, they finally reached Sumiko's home. Sumiko got out of her car and went to the other side. The white-haired woman then opened her son's door and unbuckled him. She then picked him up bridal-style and took him in the house. She, of course, closed the car door.
What was in front of her was a traditional Japanese house. The woman then unlocked the front door and opened it up. She then went straight to the hallway and into an empty bedroom. Sumiko then laid her son down gently on the bed. "Sleep tight, my koibito." Sumiko said silently before kissing his temple.
After walking out of his new room, she called a person she's known for almost her whole life. "Hey, Miyabi. Can you come over? I have major news." Sumiko said.
15 minutes later...
A knock on the door is heard. Suddenly, Sumiko came out in her pajamas, speeding to the door. She saw a very familiar pink-haired woman.

"Konichiwa, Sumiko." the woman with pink hair said. "Hey, little sister, how are you, Miyabi?" Sumiko asked. "Worn out. Mayako needed help with homework, and it took hours." Miyabi said. Sumiko chuckled and said, "Come on in.". Miyabi stepped in the door and took her jacket off. "Sit down, little sister and have a drink because we are celebrating." Sumiko said as she went to the kitchen. "Why?" Miyabi asked. "You know why, just take a peek in my empty room." Sumiko said as she filled two shot glasses with vodka. "Alright." Miyabi said as she walked over to room. As she peeked in, she saw a person that made her gasp. It was Lincoln sleeping soundly. She put her hand over mouth.
As she went back to her sister, Sumiko said, "Isn't it wonderful?". "It is!" Miyabi said. "Now come on, have a few with me." Sumiko said. "Alright..." Miyabi said as she picked up her glass. The Kelly sisters then toasted. 🍻
Somewhere in Las Vegas, two men are walking down an alley. One man had curly hair, olive skin and was wearing a black jacket. The other man had combed hair, pale skin and was wearing a leather jacket. Right behind them, a much older man with white hair is walking is walking right behind them.
After a while of tracking them down, he let out a whistle and said...
"Hey!".
They turned around to see him.
"Remember me?! Albert Kelly?!" Albert yelled. This made the two men run. He ran after them. It was a while of running, when they stopped, he chased them into a warehouse.
"Long time, no see, boys." Albert said with a death glare. "What do you want, Albert?!" the man with combed hair said. "Payback." Albert said in a low voice but still had a glare on his face. "For what?!" the other man with curly hair said, he had a New York like accent. "For my son..." Albert said, "You killed my boy. You were afraid of what he was going to do to you. You were afraid of the consequences.". "Your son was a weasel, and a coward. He begged... like a dog." the curly haired man said. "Not true at all... Aaron was a good man. He was lovable, kind, brave, and the best son anyone could ask for..." Albert said, "And he had bigger balls than either of you combined. I know he didn't die a coward.".
"Well, what are you going to for your "revenge", Kelly?" the combed haired man said, "Kill us?". "No..." Albert said. "BOYS!" Albert said as a bunch of police officers came out of hiding, causing the two men to put their hands up. "Mark Dawkins and Connor Andolini, you are both under arrest for the murder of Aaron Minato Kelly. You have the right to remain silent, put your hands behind your back." the officer said.
"You can't just do this to us." Mark said. "Yeah, I have children! I could never see them again, ever!" Connor said. "Same here!" Mark said as they were both cuffed. "Well, now you'll know my pain. You'll finally know the pain I feel every day." Albert said, "Take them away, officers." Albert said as the police forced them out of the warehouse.
"Mr. Kelly, sir, do you need us to call anyone?" an officer said. "Nope." Albert said, "I have other plans. Thank you, officer.". "No problem, sir. It's our duty." the officer said before leaving.
Albert sighed as he walked out of the warehouse once the police cars drove out. He then took a long walk up to his motorcycle. That is the same motorcycle he took from Royal Woods to Las Vegas. He then put on his helmet and got on the bike. "Akiko, I'm coming home." he said as he drove off to Las Angeles for the airport and to put his bike on the next ferry across the Pacific Ocean.
"Hehehehehehehehehe you know something, Miyabi? What if I took one of Rita's children and... left them out in the 9-inch snow... to die in the Akaishi mountains RIGHT NOW?! SHE WOULDN'T BE YAPPIN' THEN!" Sumiko said, getting drunker. "Sumiko, please don't talk like that. That is horrible." Miyabi said. She stopped after her 4th drink. "Oh, come on, baby sister... how would YOU react if it was Fuji or Miyako stranded in the cold with no proper protective clothes on and no food and water?" Sumiko said. "Ok, please, that's enough, Sumiko, let's get you to bed." Miyabi said, kind of hurt that her big sister said that. She really didn't want to think about that.
The pink-haired woman took her older white-haired sister's arm and put it over her shoulder. "Come on, koibito, let's go." Miyabi said while Sumiko just said slurred speech.
As they went to Sumiko's room, Miyabi set her on her bed. Sumiko started mumbling something and then she started crying. "I-I'm such a m-mess... I-I couldn't even raise my own child..." Sumiko wept before putting her face in her hands. "Sweetie, come here." Miyabi said before hugging her sister. Sumiko drunkenly hugged back. "Sweetheart, you know you went through a lot during those years. I would've gladly raised him, but I couldn't." Miyabi said, "None of it is your fault. Come on, Sumiko, you need to rest.". "Yo- you're right." Sumiko said slurred as Miyabi helped set her down on her bed. "Good... night... lil... sister..." Sumiko said slurred. "Good night, Sumiko. You know I'm always there for you. We're sisters, after all. Aishiteruyo, onēsan." (I love you, big sister) Miyabi said as she pecked her older sister's cheekbone.
A/N: This is sisterly love the Loud sister's minds could NEVER comprehend.
As Miyabi walked out peacefully, the thoughts ran through her mind. It was really something. She never thought she would be doing this for her big sister. She was usually the one who would receive comfort and affection from Sumiko when emotionally hurt. Sumiko was the first person that Miyabi would run to while she was a little girl. Aaron was the second.
The pink-haired woman walked into Lincoln's room and said in Japanese, "Okaerinasai, Lincoln. Koko ga anata no hontō no iedesu." (Welcome home, Lincoln. This is your real home.). She then kissed her nephew's forehead goodnight before leaving the home.
