"but she's dead. it can't be from her." haruna's lip trembled as she stared at the letter endou was reading silently.

"not necessarily. we're under the impression she passed, but in reality none of us have had any contact with her since high school," kidou said with a frown.

endou turned the letter around so the rest could read it, "it really looks like her handwriting too," he said, pointing at the signature at the bottom of the paper.

"to think that she could really be alive.." gouenji trailed off, crossing his arms and thinking of the girl from his childhood. "well, never mind that, what does it say?" he wondered.

"it's an invite to a formal get together, and it says to bring the team that began the revolution against the fifth sector." endou said before looking at the team that were training on the field.

the four shared glances, silently having a conversation, "do we go?" haruna mumbled.

"of course we go," endou said with his signature smile, "i believe it's y/n!"

gouenji shook his head with a laugh as kidou gave a small smile, "he really never changes."

"and we're going with the team, i assume?" kidou asked, endou nodded with a smile.

haruna turned back to the field with her hand on her hip, blowing into the whistle and waving the team over for the end of practice.

the managers handed out bottles and towels as endou clapped, gaining everyone's attention. "everyone, i know this sudden, but we've been invited to a formal get together next week."

"a formal get together?" tenma questioned, "who's hosting it?"

the adults shared a look at tenma's inquiry. kidou stepped forward, "a friend of ours," he said simply with a smile.

"coach.. is your friend, like, a millionaire..?" tenma gasped in awe, staring at the mansion that was presented in front of him.

endou looked at the letter before shoving it into the pocket of his jacket. "it's the address on the letter," he mumbled. taking a deep breath he stepped closer to the door and knocked.

almost instantly the doors opened to reveal a wide hallway, a butler greeted them all before guiding them to the room where everyone else was.

"this is certainly a different house than i remember," natsumi recalled, adjusting the ring that sat on her finger as she took in the architecture of the mansion, "but i can't say i didn't see this coming."

"what's that meant to mean?" endou asked.

natsumi smiled, "when i think about y/n, the main thing i remember is her drive. how she never failed to reach where she wanted to be," she then waved her hand around, gesturing to the place, "and if this really is her, then clearly her hard work has paid off," she concluded.

the team looked at their coach's wife with sparkles in their eyes before the double doors in front of them opened to reveal a large room. they all looked around the room to see many familiar faces.
