Everyone around her could see her mood change.

No matter how many years she lived without showing emotions, no matter how much she hides them, her eyes don't lie.

Her eyes are holding such sadness that you can't even look into them without feeling sad too.

Kazushi felt at first like it was his fault. But Y/n told him everything.

The reason she got into the hospital, the reason she protected him, how much she wanted to protect him. But she failed doing so. She failed and now her little brother had to wake up after weeks, only to find out her sister fell into a depression.

He blamed himself until she told him that he means the world to her. And no matter what happened, how much she's hurting, she would do this again if it meant he could be safe. She would bury herself in the deepest hole of the delinquent world just to make his dream come true.

Because his dream is her dream too. Kazushi always wanted to control the delinquent world from behind the scenes as a mastermind. And since he hates fighting, someone has to be the face of the mastermind. And she would do it without hesitation, even if it meant dying because she got herself in trouble. He's her brother, she still remembers how happy she was when he was born, even if she was only 4 years old. Her only memory from that young is her promise to always protect him.

In which she failed doing so.

Takemichi even noticed their dynamic. She's like Hanma and Kazushi is like Kisaki. One the mastermind behind the scenes and one who's willing to do anything for the mastermind.

But she failed protecting her brother, and he got hurt.

She never wanted to hurt Rindou. The real request was to kill the brothers, but she declined. They wouldn't leave her alone so she changed the deal to only hurting them. She didn't want it this way, but that's all she could do.

Rindou meant so much to her. And as much as she tried to search for things to hate him for in these months so she could complete the deal, she only found reasons to love him more.

And she hurt him too. She wanted to protect him but she failed.

She failed to protect someone again.

That night she felt like her world is beside her, every happiness, every reason to smile. But as soon as she got that phone call her whole world fell apart.

And she made everything right that she could. She quit the bounty hunters because it's a rule to never hunt a client. So she quit and went on a Bloody Viper hunt. And she was cruel towards them, ruthless. She showed no mercy.
