The Hanagaki residence was quiet and tense, the usual sounds of chatter and laughter replaced by a deafening silence. Kana sat on the couch, her head bowed and shoulders slumped. she looked exhausted and miserable, the events of the previous day still weighing heavily on her mind.

Takemichi was pacing back and forth in the kitchen, his face etched with worry.

Yuzuha sat at the dining table, her eyes flickering over to Kana every now and then, concern etched on her face.

Mitsuya stood near the doorway, his gaze fixed on Kana. He couldn't shake off the sight of her losing control the day before, her eyes filled with rage and her blows fueled by anger.

Takemichi paused in his pacing, his eyes fixing on Kana's slumped form on the couch. His expression was hard to read, a mix of disappointment and concern on his face. "This could be bad.. this could be really, really bad."

Yuzuha and Mitsuya shared a knowing glance, silently agreeing that Kana's violent outburst had possibly made things worse between Ronin and Toman. They both knew that tensions were already high between the two gangs, and her actions were most likely going to go unnoticed.

The room fell into an uneasy silence, the weight of the situation hanging over them like a dark cloud.

Takemichi started pacing again, his mind racing with worry. He couldn't help but feel like this situation was spiraling out of control, and he didn't know how to fix it. His  heart was racing with anxiety and he could feel his palms starting to sweat. "God, what are we going to do?" he muttered, running his hands through his hair. "This is such a mess..."

Yuzuha looked up at Takemichi, her expression firm. "It wasn't Kana's fault," she said confidently. "Erina was the one who pushed her to that point. Kana just snapped."

Takemichi sighed heavily, his expression still troubled. "I know that, but it doesn't change the fact that Kana lost control," he said. "She put Erina in the hospital. People are going to start talking about this, and it isn't going to do anything good for us."

"You're overthinking this," she said, her tone firm. "Yeah, she lost control, but everyone has a breaking point. Erina pushed her too far."

Yuzuha had no clue about Kana's impending death, so she continued to defend Kana's actions.

Takemichi, on the other hand, was deep in thought. he knew the truth about Kana's fate, and he couldn't help but worry that her outburst could have worsened everything or changed nothing.

Kana was now sitting alone on the couch, her head in her hands as she tried to calm her thoughts down. the memory of Erina's taunting voice echoed in her head, each word sticking like a knife in her heart.

Her conscience was heavy with guilt and shame, and she couldn't shake the feeling that she had let herself down by resorting to violence.

She closed her eyes and tried to take deep breaths, trying to push the negative thoughts away. As she listened to Takemichi pacing and worrying in the background, Kana's mind began to race with worry. she could hear the concern in his voice, and it made her wonder if she had truly made things worse by losing control.

"Did I ruin everything?" she thought to herself, her heart sinking. "Did I make things worse for everyone?"

Mitsuya leaned against the doorway, his eyes fixed on Kana's slumped form on the couch. He knew the truth about her fate, and seeing her like this tugged on his heartstrings. He watched as Kana sat there, her thoughts clearly troubled. He could see the guilt and shame etched on her face.

His worry and concern only grew as he observed her. He knew that she had only lashed out because of Erina's taunting words, and that she had finally reached her breaking point. But he also understood Takemichi's worry, knowing that Kana's actions might not have changed her fate at all, and could even have made things worse.
