"Ever since that day I found you, I knew you were special"

The sun was beginning to set, casting a warm, golden glow over the campus of Jujutsu High. After a long day filled with revelations and intense discussions, Y/N found herself walking alongside Yaga, her thoughts heavy with everything that had transpired. They headed towards the small garden area, a quiet place where they could talk without interruptions.

Yaga glanced at Y/N, noticing the troubled look on her face. "You've been awfully quiet, Y/N. What's on your mind?"

Y/N sighed, looking down at the path in front of her. "It's just... everything that's happened with Rei, with Riko, and this organisation...it's a lot to process."

Yaga nodded, his expression thoughtful. "It is. But you've always been strong, Y/N. You've faced difficult situations before and come out stronger. This time will be no different."

She looked up at him, a small smile forming on her lips. "You always know what to say to make me feel better. I guess I've come to rely on you a lot."

Yaga chuckled softly, shaking his head. "It's my job to look out for you. Ever since that day I found you, I knew you were special. You've got a resilience that's hard to come by."

Y/N's smile faded slightly as she remembered her past. "I don't think I ever properly thanked you for rescuing me from my father. I don't know where I'd be if you hadn't stepped in."

Yaga stopped walking and turned to face her, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. "You don't have to thank me, Y/N. I saw someone who needed help, and I did what anyone with a heart would do. And look at you now – you've grown into a strong, capable young woman."

She nodded, feeling a surge of gratitude. "You've been like a father to me, Yaga. More of a father than my real one ever was."

His eyes softened at her words. "And you've been like a daughter to me, Y/N. Family isn't always about blood. It's about the connections we make and the people who stand by us."

They continued walking, the bond between them feeling even stronger in the quiet evening. Y/N's thoughts returned to Rei and the mission ahead. "Do you think we can really take down this organisation? They sound powerful, and if they have people like 'The Puppeteer' leading them..."

Yaga's expression turned serious. "It won't be easy. But we have something they don't – a team of dedicated individuals who are willing to fight for what's right. We've faced tough battles before, and we've come out victorious. This time will be no different."

Y/N took a deep breath, feeling more confident. "You're right. We've got each other, and that's what matters. We can do this."

Yaga smiled, pride evident in his eyes. "That's the spirit. And remember, you're not alone in this. We'll be with you every step of the way."

They reached the garden, where a bench under a large oak tree provided a perfect spot to sit and talk. As they settled in, Y/N's mind drifted back to Rei and the memories she had recovered.

"What do you think about Rei's memories coming back?" Y/N asked, her voice filled with curiosity and concern. "Do you think it'll help us find out more about this organisation?"

Yaga leaned back, his gaze thoughtful. "It's a double-edged sword. Her memories could provide valuable information, but they also bring a lot of pain. We need to handle this delicately, for her sake."

Y/N nodded, understanding the weight of his words. "She's been through so much already. We need to be there for her, support her in any way we can."

Yaga's eyes met hers, his expression determined. "And we will. Just like we've always done for each other. We'll find out who's behind this and put an end to their schemes."

A comfortable silence settled over them, the bond they shared providing a sense of peace amidst the chaos. Y/N felt a renewed sense of purpose, knowing that they were all in this together.

After a few moments, Yaga spoke again, his tone gentle. "You've grown so much, Y/N. I'm proud of the person you've become. You've faced your fears and turned them into strength. Whatever comes next, I know you'll handle it with the same courage you've always shown."

Y/N smiled, feeling the warmth of his words. "Thank you, Yaga. That means a lot."

He nodded, his expression softening. "Now, let's go back inside. We have a lot of work ahead of us, and we'll need to be well-rested and prepared."

As they approached the main building, Yaga's phone rang. He glanced at the screen and saw Gojo's name flashing. "It's Gojo," he said, answering the call. "What's the update?"

Gojo's voice crackled through the line, excitement evident in his tone. "Yaga, we got a lead. I managed to track down some information on 'The Puppeteer.' It looks like we have a location where they might be operating from."

Yaga's eyes widened, and he glanced at Y/N, who was listening intently. "That's great news, Gojo. Where is it?"

"It's an abandoned facility on the outskirts of the city," Gojo replied. "It used to be a research lab, but it's been off the grid for years. I think they've been using it for their experiments."

Yaga's grip tightened on the phone. "Alright. Gather the team. We need to move quickly before they have a chance to relocate."

"Already on it," Gojo said. "Meet us at the main gate in ten minutes. We're going in."

Yaga ended the call and turned to Y/N. "Looks like we've got a lead. Are you ready?"

Y/N nodded, determination blazing in her eyes. "Let's do this. For Rei, and for everyone else who's been hurt by these people."

They hurried back to the infirmary, where Geto was still keeping watch over Rei. She was awake now, sitting up in bed and looking much stronger than before. Y/N quickly explained the situation to her.

"Rei, we've got a lead on the people who did this to you," she said. "We're going to an abandoned facility where they might be operating from. Do you feel up to coming with us?"

Rei's eyes narrowed with resolve. "Yes. I want to see this through. I need to know why they did this to me, and I want to make sure they can't hurt anyone else."

Yaga nodded approvingly. "Alright, let's move. We need to stay sharp and be ready for anything."

They gathered their gear and headed to the main gate, where Gojo and the rest of the team were waiting. The sun had dipped below the horizon, and the campus was bathed in the soft glow of twilight. As they set off towards the facility, Y/N felt a surge of hope and determination.

With Yaga by her side and her friends supporting them, she knew they could face whatever lay ahead. They were a family, bound not by blood but by their shared struggles and unwavering support for one another. Together, they would uncover the truth and bring justice to those who had been wronged. And most importantly, they would help Rei find the peace and closure she deserved.
