Slowly walking from her house to Erikas, she held the bouquet close to her. She honestly hoped that Erika would appreciate them as well. The most she could do for a home-made Valentine's present could only really be arranging flowers honestly.

She could have tried baking, but really. She puts her everything in it when it comes to flowers. And she's rather giver her something that she put her blood, sweat and tears into than something that's half-baked. Or in this case, fully baked but not enough effort.

Knocking at the door, she fidgets a bit. Erika should be home about this time. OR at least she hoped she was. Well..... It would hurt to at least check to be sure, right?

"Erika.. You are home, right?"

Somehow he already got the feeling from this girl that he was going to have trouble with her.

She still remembers the terror from that day.

She was visiting friends in California the day Trespasser arose from the ocean. Fortunately, she was already over the bridge when the attack started. But defeating trespasser took days, and there were so many people hurt.

Itsuki and her brother Satsuki were part of the triage team. Both had First aid training, and amidst the Kaiju attack, that was sorely needed.

As the sirens sounded around them. Satsuki had noticed some motion in a ruined building. He had rushed in, coming back out with two little girls. Itsuki smiled at her brother, and that's when it all came crashing down. Hundreds of pounds of concrete, pinning her brother to the ground.

Her scream mingled with his and she rushed to save him. Aided by several national guardsmen, they managed to free Satsuki from the rubble. But his life was never the same.

The impact had compacted his vertebrae and he lost the use of his legs.

"Don't worry, brother." She had told him as he was loaded into the ambulance. "I'll make you proud."

The way she went about it was wrong. Itsuki dedicated herself to fighting Kaiju. She cast aside almost all traces of her own femininity, entering the Jaeger Program as a man. Because this deception was hurting herself more than others, she was frequently a loner.

Somehow though, she did well enough in training and simulators to achieve a position in the Jaeger program as a Ranger.

6. Favorite Secret Place

It’s quite a peaceful day. Ryuho takes a walk around the busy streets, watching as the people go on with their daily lives. Suddenly, he stops in his tracks as his eyes catch sight of one of the buildings, one with a sign on the front with “Fairy Drop” written. After approaching the building and eyeing the sign for a moment, he finally decides to enter…

Erika takes a seat with her. "What's the best course of action when the person you look up to turns out to be nothing like you once expected and they are actually a horrible person?" It seems so strange, but that's about her experience with Junko.
