    Rina kept quiet about what she encountered. Her mind could have been playing tricks over whether he was actually there or not, and it was no reason to get Satoru worked up if it was nothing. Yet, it was no use. Satoru went to the scene himself, and got the inkling of whom had been there. Rina got her phone call the next morning.

"I need you to tell me if you felt a different presence." Gojo said firmly and she sat up in her bed, the seriousness in his tone evident that he wasn't playing around.

"I did." She said.

"I think he's back. Stay on your guard, there's no telling why he was messing with the three of you." Gojo said angrily.

"Satoru?" She asked unsure how to word her question as he hummed in response. When she didn't answer he was quick on her case.

"What? What is it?" He asked.

"Would he....hurt us? Intentionally?" She asked softly. She heard her brother sigh over the phone.

"We can't be sure of anything anymore. If he reaches out or shows himself to you, call me immediately. You can't.....ugh. You can't trust him anymore, Rina. He's not the brother you remember." He said crushing her heart. She swallowed down the pain that was burning her throat. The feeling of sorrow.

"Right...." She said sadly.

"Rina. I'm serious. He's dangerous." Gojo told her sternly.

"Okay. I'll call you if he shows up, or contacts me." She said with a reluctance to her words.

"Good. I gotta figure some stuff out, don't be late for training. Love ya." He said before the call disconnected.

"Love you too.." she mumbled to herself.

     Rina was in fact, late to training. No one said a word to her as she looked uncharacteristically saddened. They'd never seen Rina in a bad mood, nor crying. But her shoulders were slumped, her gaze downwards, and her hands in the pockets of her track suit. She'd spent all morning staring numbly at a photo she took and printed of her brothers. The pain in her chest crippling.

    Rina walked, her body feeling heavy as she rubbed her face and pulled out her facade. She grinned brightly, hiding away all her pain not knowing everyone already saw.

"So! What am I doing today?" She asked putting the bounce back in her step.

"Are you okay?" Maki asked taken aback by the mood change.

"Duh. Why wouldn't I be?" Rina said waving her off. "You say the funniest things sometimes, Maki." She laughed as she passed them by.

    A large curse in the form of a massive pelican landed in front of the pathways to the training field, blocking Rina from taking any steps forward as she jumped back, readying her fists.
