Toya Aoyagi

Vivid BAD SQUAD, who broke through the preliminary rounds of RUSH BEATS and are returning to Japan for a while. At the farewell party that Slade and the others threw for them, Akito and the group spent a fun time talking about their partners and their determination for the tournament... but...

The warehouse ends up trashed the very next day on the day of their flight back to Japan. And they found Akito’s keychain dropped at the crime, but Akito didn’t do it, and all his group members can vouch for him, especially Toya, having slept in the same hotel room as him that night. But, Cedric starts to blame him which leads to the locals to start blaming him too and soon enough Vivid BAD SQUAD is the one framed for the crime. Akito had to have been held back from accidentally commiting violence by the others and Toya himself.

Now Vivid BAD SQUAD is at the airport to catch their flight back to Japan, waiting at the chairs before going to the departure gate, leaving the warehouse with the locals still having a bad view of them. An and Kohane were looking through cute hamster videos together to lighten the mood while Toya, sitting next to Akito just right next to the two can still sense the stress emitting from him from having been the main suspect… But Toya had been pondering the whole journey to the airport, had started to suspect Cedric himself. How would he have known Akito’s keychain was lose, and why would he start blaming Akito immediately?

"Akito. You're not feeling guilty, are you?"
