Takemichi had long hung up the phone on the dispatcher once the emergency services had arrived, the light illuminating the road with blaring colors of blue and red clear indication of their arrival as it overwhelmed his eyes to which he was forced to look away. He felt in some way obligated to join the woman on the way to the hospital, however he was denied since he was not related to the woman or personally knew her in the slightest.

That was proven when he couldn't provide any information on her circumstances or even something as simple as her name, so it was not like he could lie or anything.

He wasn't sure what to do after that encounter, and he was sure it was traumatizing for the woman, but he had just earned his own fair share of memories that won't be going away any time soon from the encounter. If he had not turned to the direction of the park, what would have become of her? Would she have just been another hapless victim he'd find out about on the news as a result of gang violence, just as his old girlfriend was?

These questions plagued his mind as he haphazardly listened to the on scene paramedic fret over his own injuries, giving a subtle nod of his head in response to a question of if he would like treatment as well. His injuries weren't as serious as the open wound that [Name] had, but they still stung and even small cuts could catch bacteria that can cause an infection.

As an investigation team arrived on scene in order to find evidence of a hostile attack, Takemichi was urged out of his dazed state to go home, though his next location to travel to wasn't his home in the slightest. Now out of this predicament, he was led into another.

His heart dropped at the reminder of what he was previously doing, adrenaline coursing through his veins as he immediately remembered the harsh fate that had beheld Hinata Tachibana, or rather his ex-girlfriend who had died in the future.

Stumbling in the streets, one thing led to another and he finally had that interaction he had been postponing because of the encounter from earlier. He had met with Hinata and after an awkward interaction that ended with a flustered Takemichi, she bid her goodbyes and told him to remain safe upon seeing the patched wounds and figured he got into another fight.

With his hands shoved in his pockets, he then continued to walk away from the apartment complex with a less frantic mind. He couldn't help but think that everything went by so fast, the situation was still feeling so unreal to him, but he could not deny this circumstance that he found himself in. He was frustrated to no end and confused on why he was here, but perhaps it was fate that had led him back with the knowledge he has from the future.

Subconsciously instead of walking home, Takemichi had returned to that very same park he had found the injured woman in. The ambulance was long gone and there was still an investigating team on the scene, an enclosed area created with tape surrounding the spot he had found the woman laying in.

As much as he wanted to continue to observe on the slim chance they found some case shattering discovery, the sound of whimpering along with muffled shouts fairly close by had distracted him.

Takemichi looked towards his left where he swore he heard the noises coming from, although he was confused to see no one there. He was in a pretty sour mood, so when he had gone to investigate and found a kid being bullied by some older kids, he had snapped.

Takemichi grabbed a discarded alcohol bottle and smashed it against the ground, shards of glass flying everywhere and grabbing the group's attention. This intimidation factor seemed to work when combined with the ferocious look on his face and the pointed ends of the glass bottle pointed threateningly at the older kids, who ran off understanding they stood no chance.

Takemichi questioned the kid that was being bullied, and lo and behold, the kid was none other than Naoto Tachibana, aka his ex-girlfriend's, or rather his current girlfriend you could say for his past self, younger brother. Apparently, he was going to spend some time in the park but the people there had shooed him away for their investigation which prompted him to run into these bullies.
