At Russia Sushi, Shizuo met once again the person that admired him. It was Vorona. She still looked the same but doesn't hunger for power anymore.
"Its been two years since I've heard your voice..."
.
.
.
"Vorona..."
"Yes senpai, its been very long since we've met each other." Vorona replied.
Vorona and Shizuo walked slowly towards each other as a sign of remembering the times they've known each other and as they got close, both of them give each other a warm hug but Shizuo's hug quickly warms up Vorona and she said:
"I've missed you senpai..."
"I've missed you too, Vorona..."
Simon, Dennis, and Tom slowly peeked to see what's happening. Simon and Dennis was happy to see the two together again while Tom was surprised to Vorona's return and greeted Vorona.
"Vorona!? Its been a long time! How have you been?"
Tom then hugs Vorona while she also hugs her former boss replying:
"I've been fine Tom-san. How are you with Shizuo-senpai?"
"Oh you know, collecting debts Shizuo accidentally injuring our clients, the usual."
"Hey Tom-san, no need for that obvious detail the three of us always knows it." Shizuo answered.
"I see, so nothing much has changed to you and the city." Vorona realized.
"So when did you came back here in Ikebukuro?" Tom asked.
"I just came here last night Tom-san, I asked Simon and Dennis not to tell you about it because I wanted it to be a surprise."
"And it was, you really got me there Vorona. That was something new from you." Shizuo replied.
Vorona couldn't help but blush a little at Shizuo.
"Shizuo-senpai..."
Simon slowly walked in and happily called everyone's atention.
"Tom-san you came here for dinner right? Why won't we continue the chat while eating, its always good combination. Yes?
"Oh right! I almost forgot, thanks for the dinner Simon!" Tom cheered.
Simon served the meals to the guests and continued their chatting with one another but this time Vorona told her stories from around the world and it's wonders.
"So where have you been for the past two years Vorona?" Shizuo asked.
"I've been to many places from Asia to Europe, but my favorite one was when I visited France. I bought some of their perfumes and tested it to myself." Vorona replied.
"Ooohh! So that's why the restaurant smells nice. So what other countries did you visit?" Tom asked.
While Vorona is telling her stories, Shizuo couldn't help but to stare at Vorona, smiling like he's feeling lighter again and he thought:
"There's something I really couldn't tell about her. It's like I'm being lifted or I want to say something to her..."
Vorona notices the way Shizuo stare at her and calls his attention.
"Shizuo-senpai? Are you alright?"
"Huh? Oh, I uhh got a little drowsy for a while. I haven't slept well..."
"Oh, please get some rest senpai we could continue our conversation next time"
The two went home while Simon calls them.
"Come back to Russia Sushi anytime Tom-san! And done forget to tell your friend about it!"
"Sure Simon! I'll invite my other coworkers to your restaurant! See you!"
As Simon entered, Vorona asked him about Shizuo acting different recently.
"Simon, can I ask you something about Shizuo-senpai?"
"For the young Lady Vorona? Yes, what do you want to ask about Shizuo-kun?"
"When I was telling my stories, he was looking at me... smiling, like he was happy to see me again."
"Ah! He would probably missed you for a long time because he treats you as one of his close friends."
"Friends... Huh, did Shizuo-senpai had any friends when he as younger?"
"Yes, but his companionship was his hindered by his fighting. Stressing him out by his own nature causing him have a few friends and most people avoiding him."
"Where did you know that information about Shizuo-senpai, Simon?"
"To Tom-san Miss Vorona, they were once in the same school since teenagers."
"Does Shizuo-senpai have any other friends other than Tom-san?"
"Yes young Miss, his name is Dr. Kishitani, an unlicensed underground doctor. He was Shizuo's friend since childhood."
"I see... But does he have any other friend aside from the people you've mentioned?"
Simon's cheery behavior shifts to a more serious tone as Vorona asked that question and replied:
"Unfortunately... those two men were the only friends of Shizuo during his youth..."
Vorona was saddened of what she heard about Shizuo's youth. The reality that he never had that many friends during his younger years in his life.

"I see... Thank you for answering my questions Simon."
"You're welcome young Miss. We're closing now but you can rest in our apartment since you still don't have your own."
"Appreciated Simon."
Vorona went with Simon and Dennis' apartment to spend the night while she was thinking mostly about Shizuo even more.
"Shizuo-senpai... I still want to know more about you..."
At an unknown place in Tokyo, two men in an office are taking to each about something important, one sitting on a chair, planning and one standing holding a small envelope.
"So here's what I got from the guards at the airport and it fits the description you've gave to me fits perfectly." Said by the man with an envelope.
"Oh? Are you sure about that?"
"Yeah. Female, Russian, blonde, purple eyes, slightly above average height, and age is around 20s."
"Good work! You deserve a candy for that!"
*sighs* "Are you really sure that you want to continue your unfinished 'business' there?"
"Of course I'll continue my 'business' there! And besides..."

"I may even bring some new friends..."
