[ Another faint noise. Right, right, the other thing... ]
I wouldn't need to sneak around if I was a womanizer.
[ A statement that always brings his biological father to mind: Sohei dead in his office chair after trying to rape Yumi Sawamura. He rubs the furrow in his brow with his thumb. He lacks the self-hate that can be induce on this issue. There is plenty of sex between the men of the yakuza. But not open relationships and women are still considered valuable symbols of status and property.
So he keeps it to sex and he keeps it out of sight. ]
I can be single or I can marry a woman. Or I can be ousted, I suppose.
[ His frown deepens. All that work just to be pushed out and for what? His personal needs? It's still a large drive not to pay attention to himself. There's no one around him in Tokyo with the confidence or drive to tell him to stop. No, it's a status quo that is enforced by the needs of the clan. Ever since Kiryu dragged him to the chair. He struggles with how to connect the pieces. ]
I know that it isn't like that here, it-- Just illuminates that it hurts.
[ And it's not so very strange to shy away from things that hurt. Especially when there's nothing to be really be done about it. That's the reality in Tokyo and that's where Malachite will return him. ]
cw: some homophobia and misogyny
