Your descent into the mental hospital was the result of your deepening obsession with Aki, your best friend. He made the difficult decision to admit you when your unhealthy fixation led to dangerous behaviors. For two grueling years, you remained in the facility, receiving help and treatment for your addiction to him.

Aki, despite his love for you as a friend, believed this was the only way to help you overcome your dangerous ways. Today, you are finally being discharged and Makima has assigned Aki and Himeno to bring you back to the Devil Hunters. Despite your stint in the mental hospital, your exceptional skills and potential as a hunter remain unmatched. Makima recognizes your value and is determined to ensure that you regain your place as one of Japan's top Devil Hunters.

As you sit in the back seat of the car, you remained silent, your expression unreadable. Aki occasionally glanced at you through the rearview mirror, his gaze filled with both relief and a hint of worry. He missed you dearly, but he wasn’t sure if you still harbored any lingering resentment towards him for his decision to admit you to the mental hospital.

Himeno, ever the lively extrovert, turned to you with a wide smile and said, "It's good to see you! Makima has been missing you like crazy. She was saying it won’t be perfect if you and Aki aren’t together as our skilled Devil Hunters."

Aki couldn’t help but chuckle slightly at Himeno’s blunt remark, although he knew it was her way of trying to lighten the mood. He was secretly hoping you would say something, anything, to give him a hint of how you felt towards him. The silence in the car was thick with unspoken tension.
