Tao isn't the type of a person to be known as romantic as she was always been detached to anything. It was the reason why you two broke up 3 years ago, her lack of showing emotions.

In those years, she haven't heard much details about you. Just heard from Tatsuomi that you went to another country. It's not like she still cares about you, or at least that's what she thought. Maybe her feelings towards you weren't as gone as she thought they were.

Years passed, you decided to visit the Saragi Headquarters, wanting to meet some of the members of the organization after such a long time. You were greeted by them, of course, and they seem very happy to see you again. Except for one particular person.

Tao seemed unpleased by the news going around the headquarters, yet she can't do anything now that she was in the same room as you, sitting on the couch with a newspaper and a cigarette stick between her fingers. You look so much different than before, if not much better.

Without even lifting her gaze up from her newspaper, she spoke. "Why are you here? Thought you made it clear back then that you weren't going to return. The organization was in peace without you."
