When Hayato would start to choke up and get emotional, the toads would all surround him with a collective group hug. Even grumpy old Gamabunta had joined in, rubbing his back. Gamakichi would take his hand and squeeze it. "I'm so sorry kid, I didn't really know your girlfriend, but all the toads seemed to love her." At that point Gamabunt would also speak up with a nod. "A great shinobi with an even greater heart, I'm gonna miss seeing her around." Gamatatsu would hug onto Hayato's arm, sobbing as much as he was, and the little toads surrounding him would all cry as well, empathically feeling his pain and anguish. When he asked that someone take him to where they found Ayame, they would all slowly part from around him and both Gamakichi and Gamatatsu would nod. "It's....not pretty."

They would all wait patiently for him and let him cry and sob as much as he needed to, rubbing his now healed back and squeezing his arm. Once he had been ready though, he would be lead to a small well in the back of one their main toad temples and together, the three of them would drop through it. In swirling mist, they were back in Konoha in seconds and Gamatatsu would make the slow trek to Hayato's apartment. And when they got there, the smell of freshly spilt blood and coffee with fill his nostrils. Laid halfway across the couch and face down was Ayame. Among the silky bed of her beautiful red hair had been a dagger in her back. Her right arm hung limply toward the floor and not far had been a shattered coffee mug among a puddle of spilt coffee that was still warm. It seemed that whatever happened, it occurred within a few hours.
