Nishinoya Yuu was an optimistic person. Then again, keyword: was. Now he's a realistic one, and he doesn't even know what to think with what he heard just fifteen minutes ago.

"Stage II, Nishinoya-san. We're so sorry."

Yuu left the room in despair. Or, almost. In fact, he felt just a bit comforted when he saw Kenma Kozume, his superior, waiting in front of the door.

Not just a superior. Kenma is the leader of their family. The one who made sure everyone is alright. Strict yet gentle, and not mentioning his patience. Yuu truly respects him, and that's why he also trusts him.

"It's done?"

Yuu nodded, and gave Kenma a polite smile, before the two of them made their way towards the parking lot. They entered the car, and as Kenma began to drive, Yuu couldn't help but to sniffle.

"What did they say?"

"It only got worse."

"... You'll be alright. I believe in you," Kemma reassured.

"Thanks..."

It was silent for a while, the only sound could be heard was Yuu's slightly raspy breathing as he leaned his head on the window, watching as tiny drops of rain began to fall.

"Please don't stop me from going with you all," he whispered.

"As long as you don't push yourself. You sure you want to move?"

"Yeah... I prefer living alone rather than burdening them more. Besides, the Bungalow's not a bad place. It's nostalgic, so I won't mind," Yuu explained, as he coughed a little.

Kenma let out a soft sigh, "You're not alone. Hajime moved there, too."

"Eh? But why?"

"Busted by Oikawa. He had to leave, or else it will be more complicated."

"I see..."

"Is it okay if I tell someone else about this? Just for precaution, so someone could take care of you."

"... Just Hajime-san and Keiji-san. Don't tell anyone else, especially Ryu."

"I promise."

"Thank you, Kenma-san."

Kenma nodded, as he stopped in front of a tall, abandoned building. It looked like an office or a department building, but in fact, it was empty and mostly unused. After a mass murder inside it years ago, no one used it and the owner sold it to the gang.

"Still as haunted as ever," Yuu commented, trying his best to look a bit happier, as he let out a small chuckle, "Gonna have to get used to it."

"It's creepy from here, but once you get inside, you'll feel at home," Kenma replied, before he drove inside, into the indoor parking lot, "We never have meetings here anymore, but Keiji use this place to store our weapons. I did my researches here, too."

"With the White Crows watching us, maybe this place will be our official hideout again?"

"Most probably," Kenma stopped the car, turning off the engine and walked out.

"But I plan to trap them here."

Kuroo walked out of his office with a small huff, as he loosened his tie slightly. The rain had stopped recently, and the cold air somehow calmed him down. It was a tiring day, and he was grateful it wasn't for nothing.

They already found one of the members. Iwaizumi Hajime, used to be a fireman, lived in an apartment with Oikawa Tooru. Kuroo already investigated his old home, but he never expect what he faced.
