All right, that's good for today.
Oh, but... there's somethin' I
wanna talk to you about.
...It's about that secret Tsuda
mentioned. There's more to it than
my havin' been in the yakuza.
I just wanna make sure you don't
go sayin' somethin' stupid if you
run into Kaoru 'round here...

Back when I was workin' with the Hashiba
Clan, some crazy lady came 'round our
office. Must've been over ten years ago.
She had this baby with her, and the
whole time she was there she kept goin'
on about how she wanted to sell it.

If word gets out about my past,
people're gonna treat Kaoru like
he's no different than me.
After all, everyone knows shitty
parents end up makin' shitty kids...
And once he's got that stigma, he'll
be stuck with it. When shit goes wrong,
he'll always be the one who gets blamed.
That's how it was with me.
...That's why I turned to the yakuza.
Nobody else would accept me.
