And I finally reached the anticipated 3rd of August, obviously, I wasn't too sure what to expect on this eventful day of Tokyo Revengers history. Would I be spending this day only with Kazutora at the festival or would my ass be dragged inside the Toman fight somehow? Who knew, not me. When I returned back from the part-time job, mom whipped out a kimono that she wanted me to wear for the festival. I was hesitant since this wasn't a good fighting getup. However, I wore it in the end, realizing how fun mom was having just by putting it on me. I loved the design, it was something quite unusual, was red and filled with patterns of golden fish. She furthermore managed to get Kazutora into a yukata, making me wonder if she made them herself or made a purchase just recently. She refused to share the details tho.

"Oh my two pretty children, let me take a few photos to keep them as memories." Right we didn't have any Kazutora pictures laying around the house, maybe we had to ask his biological mom to hand those over for us. Suddenly I was smitten by moms enthusiast, it spreading over to Kazu-chan as we started to both pose for the pictures, at times doing silly faces. Mom not only did whip out a whole-ass camera which she must have taken at least dozens of pictures with, but no she also took a few photos with her phone loudly declaring.

"This will be my new lock screen." I think I saw Kazutora being touched by the gesture so I whipped out a handkerchief and tried to give it to him.

"What?" He asked as I pointed out.

"There are like tears forming into your eyes so, take it don't be shy." I gave him a smile, but I ended up being hugged instead. Shortly mom joined the hug, creating a group hug kind of deal.

"Go have fun, we with our father will join shortly." It was nice to see them have dates like this once in a while. My previous parents barely had such moments, so it was nice seeing this sorta dynamic.

After I grabbed all my things, like money, wallet and an umbrella. We headed out and reached the place which was packed with people, we even spotted some tourists roaming around. The sights brought me such joy, there were so many pretty girls dressed in cute kimonos. The first thing we did was purchase snacks, unlike what I said to Wakasa yesterday we as siblings didn't fight over food. On contrary, I found myself even feeding my brother from time to time, because he got himself easily distracted. Once we finished our okonomiyaki, Kazutora pointed at the goldfish stand.

"How about we try that?" I was skeptical, even if fish were easy pets to raise there was still some responsibility you had to deal with, furthermore, we had a mischievous cat at home.

"What if Cupid tries to eat it?" I didn't want to bring a fish for their estimated death. But wouldn't owning a pet make him more compassionate? And if he kept his door closed at all times, maybe it wouldn't die.

"But if you want to go for it don't let me stop you, just remember that you will also have to purchase a tank, filter, and fish food." Even if a simple fish seemed like a cheap purchase now, it wasn't anywhere near the case. He walked over and managed to get it on the first try even, I just clapped my hands in amazement.

"Wow, you did it." He soon received his prize in the bag.

"What are you planning to name it?" Of course naming, it would make him more attached to it and that's what I hoped for. He looked at the fish mesmerized and soon announced.

"Sunny because of its golden color." That was so cute.

"Nice." we moved to the shooting game, in hopes to win some plush toys. I thought Kazutora would be the one to get it, but I was the one that managed to snatch the prize, despite the stall owner's annoyance.

"Pick one Kazutora." I decide to gift it to him instead because that's what a nice sister would do. We even came across our parents that wanted to inquire about whatever we had fun, so we showed them the prizes that we acquired. Dad gave us pats on the head while he mentioned how good of a job we did, but then suddenly Kazutora got stomach pains.

"You want to return back home?" Mother asked him and after some consideration, he agreed to return home. I was planning to head back but since I was the one that mentioned I wanted to visit the festival mom told me to stay behind and enjoy my time here, which I obliged because a mission told me to since the options were either.

'Would you rather find Ken Ryuguji at the festival or buy some Takoyaki?' of course I took the second option, Emma needed to spend some quality time on her date I shouldn't interfere. Once my purchase was finalized another quest arrived.

'Would you rather visit this location or enjoy your sweet time at the festival?' The second option sounded a lot nicer, but I was curious if there was any difference between the rewards. I took a quick peek and to my surprise, I would get 2 more points if I chose to walk to the mysterious location. Three points for one mission that wasn't taking days to complete, sign me up. Before I departed tho, I decided to buy some more food, I had this strange feeling I needed it. Following my GPS with two plates of food was difficult, but I kept passing by strangers, the location was outside the festival range, but you still could hear the bustling sounds of the crowd. Out there sat a person covered in a hood despite the somehow hot weather. Only then did I realize how this mission must have been a lot more tricky than anticipated, the system wanted me to do something about this depressing person sitting alone on a bench didn't it? So what was the deal, did it want me to cheer him up or something?

I took a seat next to the hooded mysterious person, stabbed the Takoyaki with the toothpick that was provided, and tried to feed them, to my astonishment they actually accepted the food without much complaint. So what now?

"Is something bothering you? Would you like to share it with someone?" I gave it a shot, there was no telling how the person would react, but there was still a glimmer of hope, sometimes sharing troubles with strangers was easier. Considering they didn't have the full details to judge you too much on your previous actions and hey once you shared your life story you may never see them again.

"Why do you care?" I heard a low harsh voice coming out from them. At least now I knew it was a guy I was dealing with.

"Hmmm~ everyone has their lows and ups in life. So if I ever want someone else to hear out my worries, I should also be generous and offer them the same services right? Like give and take situation... perfectly balanced as all things should be." He was quiet for a minute, I wasn't sure if he didn't care to answer or just was taking his precious time to process my words.

"But if you don't want to talk, I can always offer you some food and a shoulder to lean on." I then gave him one of the Takoyaki boxes, which he quickly took off my hands and started to eat. I decided to finish mine portion now when I had the time. Once he was done I offered him a bottle of water, to my shock I wasn't expecting him to take my words literally and then actually lean on my shoulder? Letting a stranger use my arm as a pillow, what other crazy stuff would I have to live thru? We sat in silence for a while, but after some time he started to open up. Maybe I did create a comfortable environment for him, who knew.

"Actually I'm an orphan." I guess that was a great start, I just instinctively nodded, quite curious what would leave his mouth next. I wanted to know who it was for the system to deem them so important. He shared how his mother left him at the orphanage but his sister got to stay at a relative's house. How his brother found him afterward and how they exchanged letters often.

"I thought I had finally someone to call family, but it was devastating to find out I was lied to." This all sounded so familiar, I just wrapped my hand around him, hoping it would make him feel better.

"We weren't in fact blood-related, but shortly after I had this fight with him he died. There isn't a day in my life where I don't miss him." I was dealing with Izana wasn't I? He suddenly busted out in tears, he was asking why he, why did he had to suffer. I just put him into a hug, but as I performed this action, suddenly it started to rain. Talk about poor timing. I quickly whipped out the umbrella I bought along and even-handed Izana some tissues. But this fool was still stuck on those blood relationships and whatnot, wondering if Shinichiro liked him less than his actual blood siblings.

"Listen if the Shinichiro guy took out his precious time to spend it with you, it meant he thought of you as a brother... you're too obsessed with blood relationship." I gave it some thought, what could be more powerful than blood? I needed something to assure him that he was precious in the eyes of the person that took care of him.

"Maybe you were a soul family, or you were siblings in another lifetime." He suddenly calmed himself down. Finally, he took off his hood, and here it was unshaved Izana with long hair in all his glory.

"How about reconnecting with your sister? Wouldn't having someone to share your sentiments with help you release your grief?" I was shocked he listened to me so nicely, but he shook his head disagreeing, at least I tried.

"I don't think she wants to see me." This dude had problems with underestimating his value.

"Did she say that?" I asked as he shook his head.

"Then why are you putting words inside her mouth she never once expressed, for all you know your sister would be delighted to have you back in her life, blood relationship or not." He just stared into the sky, from underneath the umbrella.

"Since you're feeling better, do you want me to walk you home?" He was most likely emotionally drained, and since I knew he had no one to take care of him. I wouldn't let him get sick. I wasn't sure how much time has passed but when I looked at my phone it was one hour before midnight. I had so many missed calls, I probably didn't hear any of them because my phone was on silent mode. Not only did mom call with the rest of the family members, but Takemichi, Emma, Hinata, and Keisuke did. A whole wall of contacts.

Unexpectedly Izana agreed and so I wasted more time getting him back home, I even paid for the subway tickets. But when the doors opened I saw Kakucho inside, those two lived together?

"Izana I've been searching for you!" I guess he didn't realize my presence because Izana was deemed so much more important in his head.

"Wait.. who's this?" Kakucho then asked, was he perhaps not seeing my face because of the umbrella?

"The love of your life, no scrap that... I bet this dude takes that place first and foremost." Soon I heard him scream.

"Michi?!" Izana looked astounded we both knew each other. Suddenly I was dragged inside the house by Izana that grabbed my wrist, causing me to drop my umbrella.

"Wait, what's going on?" I asked as he pushed me inside one of the rooms and slammed the door behind us. He cornered me into one of the walls, as he said in a low, intimidating voice.

"Don't ever mention it to him, do you understand?" I rolled my eyes at his behavior, what was he so afraid of?

"As I would share your sentiments with someone else, that you entrusted only with me... I know the basic rules of decency you know..." What did I even get myself into? But the only thing I wasn't expecting him to say was.

"Your kind nature reminds me of my brother." Another guy that compares me to Shinichiro, great just great. Maybe he could create a club together with Takeomi. So first he was angry then he put me into a hug, I wasn't too sure what was going inside this young man's head anymore. Then he whispered.

"Such a strong-willed person, makes me want to break your spirit." What the hell was he daring to whisper into my ear, talk about being mentally unstable.

"No thank you." I declared.

"I like my endless spirit of positivity, if you're jealous of it I can recommend seeing a therapist. Also, I gotta head home, my family is probably freaking out right about now, just like your dear friend was." I left him alone and said bye to Kakucho and left without any other mishaps taking place. Once I returned it didn't even cross my mind to call Emma or anyone else back, I just fell asleep once my body hit the soft cushions.
