Yui stopped her bike right in front of Jun's Escalade that was parked right outside of town. She knew he wouldn't just standby while she was doing her "stake out".

She took off her helmet and got off her bike. Jun stepped off his vehicle, followed by the twins and Tolkien. She wasn't even surprised upon seeing them.

"Hey," she greeted them with a small smile.

Tolkien rushed to her and awkwardly stopped right in front of her. "Are you okay? You're not hurt?"

Yui just nodded at him. She could hear the sirens from afar. Even from here, they could see the thick smoke from Jasmine's property.

Tolkien looked at her intently and grabbed her hand. She knew he wanted so badly to hug her, but she didn't took the initiative. She instead looked back at him and gave him a reassuring smile.

"I'm okay," she told him.

"Can we take our turn now?" Elli asked from behind Tolkien.
