[With consent gained, Fudou mirrors the smile before he starts walking, his feet carrying him with no hesitation down halls that were once familiar and a place he called home.
He still remembers, over ten years ago, when he was packing up his bags after FFI and Kidou came up to him to ask if he'd ever consider transferring to Teikoku. That the Kidou would handle the finances."It's not a handout," Kidou had said with eyes glinting behind his goggles before Fudou could even open his mouth to protest, and that had been that. He was moved into the dormitories as soon as they were back in Japan, and in Tokyo he'd ended up staying for the next four years.
As much as he liked to give Kidou Yuuto crap (especially around Sakuma), he could never deny that the boy who once seemed to have everything he couldn't was a man he owed a lot of what he had now to.
But the reminiscence only lasts a few minutes, as that familiar path takes them through the school and they end up in the parking garage at back, mostly empty now as everyone else had gone home. The only cars left are those of the security guard, Sakuma--
and a lone motorcycle standing in a corner away from the two. The only one that usually isn't in this area.]
