For some reason, Reiko couldn't shake the videos out of her head. Even though she didn't see them this time, images kept popping up in her head.

Even the upcoming school festival couldn't take her mind off it. She barely ate or slept and she looked like a ghost.

"Rei, I know something's up so please just tell me." Mina was worried, rightfully so. Reiko hesitated before speaking. She didn't know if Mina could handle it.

"Mina, you know I love you but I can't. This is something even Mr Aizawa could barely handle." Reiko sighed. "You don't have to tell me all of it, it just bothers me that you won't tell me anything." Mina sat closer to her friend.

Reiko found it difficult to speak now, the lump in her throat just wouldn't go away. "So, you know how Hayashi bullied Remi and all that." Her voice quivered as she began explaining. Mina listened intently.

"W-Well there was- is video evidence of it-" Reiko couldn't stop stuttering so she stopped speaking for a moment to breathe. "I won't- I won't show it to you because it's just... horrid."

"How'd you find it after so many years?" Mina asked softly. "I found it a week after he..."

"I just, I can't show you." She shook her head. Seeing what effect it had on those who watched it, Reiko didn't want to show it to anyone, let alone her best friend.

"You don't have to, it's already enough that you told me." Mina pat her head lightly and pulled her into a hug. She didn't cry this time, managing to calm down.

"What would I do without you?" Reiko hugged back tightly. Mina just smiled as an answer.

To her, Mina was the closest thing to an angel she could have. If shee wasn't there, Reiko would easily be a villain by now. Or worse, but she didn't want to think about those things.

The school festival was approaching rather quickly, and with a lot of convincing, Reiko managed to stay backstage, promising a miriad of special effects in return for her not having to perform.

And that's exactly what she did, she managed to transform the stage into something magical, and even though the other classes thought they were just showing off, Eri liked it and that's all that mattered to class A.

Reiko decided she'd go home for the weekend, to break the news to her parents and to spend some time with them. She hadn't been home for a long time now.

"Angel! How have you been?" Her father opened the door. "I'm alright, we just had the school festival this week." She smiled.

"Oh, Reiko! You look tired." Her mom frowned upon seeing the bags under her eyes. "Yeah, I've been training extra hard nowadays." She shrugged. "What have you been up to? Is everyone alright?" She changed the subject.

"Yes, yes, we're all good. Business is better than ever." Haruka sat down with her daughter. Reiko nodded along, listening to a few stories they had.

"I also have some news. Good news, in fact." She readied herself. "Oh? Well spill it." Kai urged her.

"Earlier this week, that guy has been arrested." She said. Both parents were surprised to hear. "How come?"

Reiko didn't think about that part. She couldn't tell her parents that she found a USB full of video evidence. At least, she couldn't tell them the whole thing.

"Some guy found some security tapes and it had evidence of the bullying." She scrambled together something that would sound believable. Her parents looked like a rock had been lifted from their hearts.

"It's what he deserves." Kai sighed, slumping back on the couch. Reiko didn't get how they were so satisfied, she was still somewhat angry. Then again, she was the closest to Remi out of all of them.

"We should do something to celebrate tomorrow." Haruka smiled. "Right, we should."

"What about going downtown?" Reiko suggested and the two agreed, saying it'd be nice and relaxing after all their stress.
