"Would you leave the household if you're given a chance to?" he had asked.
"I would, if I regained my eyesight." and that was her answer.
Now she had really regained her eyesight, it's about time.

Yamapi knocked on Tetsu's door and waited for the cue to enter.
"Come in," a deep voice grunted.
Yamapi entered the room. Tetsu was sitted, as usual, behind his desk on his high chair. He was alone with his eyes closed. Yamapi noticed something different about Tetsu today. Fatigue was written all over his face. It was something Tetsu would never have admitted nor show it to others. However, it was only for a split moment. Almost as soon as Tetsu opened his eyes, he restored the fearsome aura.
"What do you want?" Tetsu spoke.
"Let Maki go, and I'll take over the organization." Yamapi gave his part of the deal.
Tetsu smirked. "How naive, did you think anyone could take over the organization?"
"Of course not. You are looking for someone who is able to command respect from the organization. Someone who can deal with the threats from other organizations."
"You do know you haven't been anywhere close the organization before. To others, you are at most Tetsu's son. But you do know that it does not mean anything, don't you? They won't entrust their lives to someone who had never interfered in the organization affairs. You'll have to prove yourself capable of taking over the organization."
"I will."
Tetsu saw the determination in Yamapi's eyes. In fact, from Maki's kidnap incident, he had seen Yamapi in a different light. This son, who had never been close to this family nor the organization could suddenly display wit and calmness at the most critical juncture. Yamapi may have the potential to take over Kame's position in the gang.
"You may go now, I'll call you back in when I have a task for you." Tetsu waved Yamapi away before turning his back on him.
Yamapi walked towards the door, pausing before it, "By the way, there's an insider in the organization."
"And why would you say that?" Tetsu asked, still back-facing Yamapi.
"Only the organization knew about Maki being wedded to Kame, how did Kuma's gang manage to get hold of that information?" Yamapi shot a rhetorical question at Tetsu. With that he left the room.
Tetsu's lips started curving up in a smile. He could no longer underestimate this son of his.

Yamapi closed the door behind him. As he was walking back to his room, he saw Maki coming up the stairs. She had moved back to Kame's room after she had regained her eyesight. For that, Yamapi had complicated feelings. He should be glad for her, but somewhere in his heart, it stings.
Maki saw Yamapi too, and their eyes met for a brief moment. Both of them thought of the events that night. Maki remembered the warm touch of Yamapi hands and her heart raced. Yamapi recalled the instance he was helping her change out of her wet clothes and he started to blush, something that was unfamiliar to him. They turned from each other's gaze almost immediately.
Then Maki broke the silence, "You're going out?"
"No, I'm going back to my room."
"I see..." and silence fell upon them again, like a suffocating pillow.
"Thank you," Maki started again. "For that night."
"You're welcome." Yamapi nodded and continued back to his room. Both of them knew, something had changed between them.
