"I quit."

Kuroo loved his job, but he said those words without doubt. It has been two years since the incident, and he never truly recovered.

It was impossible.

To put it simply, he was, and still, drowning. In his sadness, hate, grief, rage, any kind of negative emotions posibble, all towards himself and the world.

He was no longer living. He merely exists.
The incident itself, actually, was the mark of a whole new start. So many things changed, and no one could stop any of it.

The Golden Cats couldn't be found. The military had inspected the building, but it was empty, as if no one was ever there. All they found was Yaku's and Ennoshita's body, not a single trace of the gang. The documents regarding the ownership of the said place was owned by the gang, legally, so there was nothing that could be done.

Even though The Golden Cats disappeared, some of their members don't.

Kiyoko Shimizu's name was soon known as the owner of a company, which once belonged to her parents. Her fame came from all her actions, donations and scholarships given to those in need.

Kuroo had seen them in public once, in some kind of exhibition. She was accompanied by her one and only private bodyguard, the one he recognized as another TGC member. Ryunosuke Tanaka, his ex-subordinate, the spy.

Kuroo never knew much about the others. He had heard the name Shouyou a few times, he's an entertainer, but Kuroo doesn't know the exact details. He had seen Tsukkishima Kei a few times, but he doesn't know about the job or status or anything, although he suspected something like a programmer or anything similar.

The rest? None.

Even most of the other soldiers was fed up with the fights. Sawamura became a teacher, Kageyama became a volleyball coach, both teaching at the same place, Karasuno High School. Oikawa also started working at his family's business, and made his way to the top with all his experience. Azumane became a nurse in a hospital, a job that suits his personality almost perfectly, while Yachi opened a café of her own. Only Bokuto and Yamaguchi stayed as military agents, the former replaced his best friend in his position while the latter become his most trusted underling.

Kuroo may know that much, but he actually doesn't care. Kuroo preferred to stay in his house, 24/7 if possible. He had quit his job, and cut off almost all human contacts with anyone.

He only had enough tolerance for Bokuto, his best friend, and one more individual, the source of his living budget, Haiba.

Well, without human interaction, all Kuroo need to do was making sure that his cat was alive to accompany him everyday. Not exactly his cat, but more like... given to him... as the last thing he had from his source of madness. The one who started the whole war. The reason why he was the way he is now, the only person that lingered in his mind every single day.

Kuroo Tetsurou's kitten, Kozume Kenma.
