As a warning, I have no idea how court proceedings work, much less in Japan. So I'll do some brief research but don't expect the scene to not have flaws. I may just skip the majority of it.

The next day, the guard Iruka, along with some others, went to Nagants' cell and opened it. “Good morning, come with us.

She sat up and exited her cell, “What's the occasion?” 

They escorted her past all the other cells and prisoners stared, “You're being temporarily moved to the Tartarus courthouse holding cell.”

Her eyes widened, “That means…”

The HPSC President and pro hero Hawks helped get a retrial for you next week. So you'll be staying there under supervision for the time being.”

She blinked as her mouth hung open, ‘Does that mean Hawks really did it?!’ The gray walls of the prison briefly seemed more colorful, ‘Is Danzo dead?’

Nagant felt Like hopping in the air but contained herself, ‘Ok… calm down… Heh… he really kept his promise…’ She smiled the whole way to the new cell, and waited. 

Class 1-A walked the premises together, getting glares from the general studies students. "Class 1-A is throwing a concert... for our sake. Talk about conceited."

Some school girls gossiped, "Class 1-A is throwing a concert! That means Todoroki and Sasuke will be dancing on stage! Ahhh!"

Iida stated, "The School Festival is exactly one month away. With such little time, a number of decisions must be made!"

Sasuke slowly made distance from the rest of the class. Hagakure called out, "Sasuke! Where are you going?"

"This is stupid."

Mina ran after him, away from the class, "Where do you think you're going?"

Sasuke stayed turned so she wouldn't see his face, "I wanna see if I can opt out of this."

She frowned, "You can't opt out! You really wanna rob people of seeing a cool flashing Susanoo?! Come on, Sasuke, don't be like that!"

Sasuke stopped walking and sighed as he remembered the letter he read. Mina continued, "And I get that maybe you can't literally dance, but I still taught you some moves when we were younger. You'll learn fast!”

Sasuke took a deep breath, 'I guess I should try,' "Fine."

Mina smiled and grabbed his hand, pulling him back to the rest of the class to discuss their roles.

As the class prepared for the School Festival, an artistic duo hung out on a yacht wearing disguises. They both had on brown wigs and a fake realistic face mask as they left the boiler room and blended in with the crowd while making their way to a bar. As they sat together Deidara said, "My man... I'm sick of hiding out on this yacht."

Sasori side-eyed him, "AFO said to"—

—"I know what he said!" Deidara whisper-yelled. He thought back to the one mistake that started this all and gritted his teeth. "This damn wig... this face mask... I'm sick of it all! We should be in a penthouse right now! Hm!"

Sasori swished around the fluid in his drink, "You're right, but there's nothing we can do now… besides join Shigaraki's—"

“—I'm still never joining that kids club! He'll probably get caught soon anyway.” Deidara felt the burn scar going up his arm, "... We can get revenge..."

Sasori stared at him, "What? Sasuke isn't an easy target anymore, we"—

—"I don't mean Sasuke... I mean the other ones." A sinister smirk spread on his face.
