OverDrive:
The four took their seat at the table, but no matter how cheerful the three seemed Tsubasa was still disheartened by the situation he was placed in. The guilt from his past immediately weighed itself on him at that very moment, after only a few seconds of some chatting Tsubasa stands from his chair and says,"I need to be excused..." as he makes his way to a nearby window and begins to stare into the night sky, fighting the emotions appearing on his face.

Sensing trouble Fei stood up from his chair apologized to Neu and went over to talk with Tsubasa.
"...What's it gonna take exactly?"
"......................"
"Even on your birthday you can't forgive yourself enough to look at your brother!"
".....You know damn well why I can't do it...you were there." he said.
"..I don't understand..why can't you finally get it? What happened, happened neither you nor your brother should be feeling pain from that day..."
"....You have no idea what it's like.." he said, fighting back the tears.
"...I'm basically doing the same thing all over again...the context may be different but I'm still pushing people away...even the one girl I fell in love with thinks that I love her for the wrong reasons."
"...Maybe if you stopped hiding your emotions and putting up a front then you can make things right, that was the reason you left your house that night..you were afraid to own up to your mistakes nor open up to those closest to you, and as a result you were not there...What's done is done stop placing barriers on you from who you really are." he said, placing his hand on Tsubasa's shoulder.

At that moment the two did not realize that Haruto had made his way to find himself standing behind Tsubasa, with a large smile on his face., it was clear that he heard what they were saying from his seat at the table.
"..Aniki..if you want me to leave I will...I just want you to be happy on your birthday.." said Haruto, as he began to walk away.
Fei looked at Tsubasa's look of disbelief at what his brother said, " ....come on Tsubasa say something..." he thought.

12 years ago Tsubasa left his home after getting into an argument with his parents, he wanted some fresh air for the night before returning. He was struggling to open up and admit his wrongdoings but thanks to some encouragement from his friend Ray that night he eventually chooses to go back but only to witness a tragic even unfold before his eyes, his house burning in flames. Him and and Ray ran into the inferno of the house trying to find his parents or his brother, but they only were able to find Haruto somewhat asleep in his bed while Tsubasa's parents were already too far from saving. Even before they could get out the house began to crumble above their heads, so Ray chose to let himself die for the sake of saving Tsubasa and Haruto's lives, help took way too long to arrive as a result Tsubasa lost both his friend and his parents, now with his brother's actions he was able to see something horrifying.  At that moment Tsubasa immediately saw the same scene that he witnessed back when he was 8 yrs old, the same burning house that took the life of his family while he stood on the outside unable to do much but watch his own life go up in flames, if not for his old friend Ray's sacrifice that night neither Tsubasa nor Haruto would be alive. This time if he does not do anything he would be losing his brother, as if Haruto is walking towards that burning building.

".........................Haruto! Don't go you're all that keeps me alive in this world!" shouted Tsubasa, as tears began to run down his face.
"....Aniki!!" replied Haruto, turning around, with tears dripping from his eyes as well.
"Haruto!" he shouts as he runs to embrace his younger brother after so long, "..I'm not deserving of that title Haruto...but I promise I'll do my best to make it up to you..."
"...Happy Birthday, my brother..." said Haruto as he nodded to what his brother said, while they are both in each other's arms.

Hope:
This Fei person certainly seemed like a cup large cup noodle of wisdom and everything in between. He can certainly pop out with the right thing to say and seemingly be all that, given some hot water. Tsubasa's friends were interesting to say the least. Neu sat back on her chair, playing with her spoon and fork as she chimed in on the conversations happening around her. The bit about brotherly love got to her. More or less, it at least touched her heart and taught her a thing or two about the value of family. After all, the only time that she ever has cried in years was because of her parents just a year ago. "Are tears as much of a sign of love as kiss given the right time?" she asked herself. Tsubasa and his brother seemed to be on good terms now, she was glad, learning a thing or two from both of them just by observing. They both seemed less flat with each other's company. In a way they completed one another, could this be what made family something great as well? In a way Tsubasa's glow was restored upon mending his relationship with his brother. Neu rubbed her eyes for a moment to make sure that she wasn't seeing things, but he really was glowing in her eyes.

"He... loves me?" she thought to herself, looking down at the table, "I should just... ask him later... I know he does... but why?"

The food had arrived after some time, Neu wasn't really able to do much, still struggling to barley walk, so she watched Haruto and Tsubasa from where she was. Of course, she actually whispered a special order to a waiter to bring over a cake for Tsubasa. It was still his birthday and Neu valued birthdays far too much to keep it as a festival of tears, even though they were joyful ones.

She sang,

"Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday dear Tsubasaaa,
Happy Birthday to you! Yay!" She smiled and clapped moving around a little from where she sat as waiter lighted the candles.

"Make a wish! Make a wish! Quickly!!" Neu gave a cheerful gesture acting like a child and asking for him to come over and blow out the candle.

OverDrive:
That moment may have have to be the happiest moment for Tsubasa in his life, surrounded by those he cared about and those who cared for him in return. This time was special for not only did he have Fei his childhood friend celebrating his birthday with him but he also had Neu and his brother. As the three sang for him on this special day Tsubasa began to look around the table, it seemed strange but he started to see his friends, all of the people he's met and bonded with until now, singing along. It felt as if he had finally returned home...or at least was pressing forward with his path, because among his friends he could see his parents standing among them as well...

After hearing Neu's cheering he smiled and blew the candles out,"..I wish we could all remember this moment...because I won't forget it ever,...thank you all of you...." he said, realizing that after 12 years this was his first ever proper birthday celebration ever since that time, as the people that he saw vanished and he could only see those in front of him right now.

He noticed Neu somewhat struggling to walk or stand regardless of how excited she was, so he stepped off of his chair took her by the hand and helped her to her seat, "..Try not to strain yourself..and I appreciate what you're doing" he said.

[R.T] SpiderHunterMD:
In the depth of the forest, the sound of Amon's voice could be heard. His ebony black suit hid him in the darkness under the tree's. He was doing his usual training in his usual spot.It was a shaded place due to the tree leaves that were about him. It was also a cool location due to the lack of sunlight that pieced the cover of leaves and branches His platinum blonde hair was slightly drenched in sweat, his tie was removed and lying on the ground. [I must be as swift as a coursing river] He delivers a spinning back kick to the punch-bag hung up on the tree in front of him. [with the force of a Great Typhoon] This time he punched the bag with his left hand. [With all the strength of a raging fire] Finally delivering a combination of strikes on the bag.

Amon sat on the ground disappointed. "Still not... strong enough" he spoke with exhaustion. Amon had a punching bag set up here in the forest's depths, hoping that no-one would find it, to this date no one had located this spot. He used it to train in his own strength and release his body's tension built up from his anger and rage. Amon removed his suit's blazer, placing it folded up onto the ground next to his tie, undoing his shirt's top button, he took several deep breaths before continuing his previous routine.

Hope:
"Alright, thanks. Just be happy and I can relax."

Neu sat back down and started with a few appetizers, going into the main course. She tried to strike up conversation with both Haruto and Fei to learn more about Tsubasa. While Haruto didn't remember much as he was still four around the time things started to go for the worse, and had nothing but good things to say about his brother, Neu realized that she would have to rely on Fei in order to get to the real embarrassing boyhood memories of her suitor. His two companions, his best friend and little brother were both a blast. Neu wished that she had people like this. She turned over to Tsubasa to have a glimpse at him and something seemed different yet again. A Vanguard which valued others and wanted to help them, could this be the reason? Never in her life has she ever had such figures whom have welcomed her with open arms. Fei and Haruto would tease her, pushing her closely to Tsubasa, figuratively and mentally. She would start blushing and waving her hand and swaying her head back and forth. "No its not like that!" Though what was running through her mind was the following:


I always think of him as just a plain and average guy...
Maybe he is but?...
I don't know, when I met him I kind of just looked down on him as a cliche wannabe hero.
Then when we fought, he said cliche wannabe hero things...
Eventually he got to me and showed me something I could have never dreamed to imagine in a game of Vanguard.
Then he visited me like every other guy who had a crush on me... typical. It was kind of annoying at first, but I was thankful to him so I let it slide.
But then he took me out on dates and stuff and made me react in ways I could have never dreamed to imagine.
A year later I feel like I've forgotten my feelings, its been so long.
He then acts as if it hasn't been, trying to move right onto the touchy part of a relationship.
Its gross.. really gross... people think they could keep doing that to me... before sweeping me off my feet.
But then his friend is cool, his brother is great.
He's taught me the value of family in ways that I could have never dreamed to imagine.
Somehow it was something about him, he always presents himself as the common guy... then he just...

Sweeps me off my feet.


She turned to Tsubasa after dinner, smiling from having a blast with the conversations with Fei and Haruto. Her hand felt warm, her face felt warm, and she was just amazed all over. Fei and Haruto were so welcoming, she felt the grand feeling of being a human wrap around her. Neu tapped Tsubasa on the shoulder, her face blushing intensely and waited for him to turn around, "H-hey... can... we go talk somewhere alone..." She smiled to the two on the other side of the table, "Haha... sorry guys, gotta borrow him for a bit."
