Drawing the perfect picture

" He gives a bad name to our family. And if he continues to do what he does, I'll be forced to follow and finish what he started. He uses too much violence and shows no mercy. Which is why it's harder to make every other mafia calm. When I kill him... I'll bring peace to our family. But... the people on my father's side of the family will be against me. "

"It seems that your father was different before getting violent... I mean, otherwise you would´nt disagree with him now. What changed him?"

-shakes his head-

" I suppose he was kind before. I mean, that's probably why my mom likes him. He was always vioent. It's just that I always saw him as kind, understanding person. That's what everyone thinks when they're still young. But being the mafia boss has turned him into what he is now. "

Tatsuo looked up into the sky.

"Mmhh, and you need to stop him from giving a bad name to your family... But, you know, it will be difficult, because it sounds like his men are convinced of his actions."

-looking down to the ground-

" Yeah... It's part of their job, as men working under the boss. I can understand that they're not in a good position as well. "

"Do you have a plan how to solve the problem. I mean, you can´t kill anyone who gets in your way..."

looks at him seriously

" I think about it everyday. "

-points his umbrella to Tatsuo-

" I can't reveal that to you. I'd have to kill you too. "

"Me?"

looks surprised then starts laughing

"I´m not asking you to tell me and I´m not in your way. If you tell me, I could help you, but if you don´t intend to tell me, I´m fine with it. It´s your path, not mine."

puts Negai´s umbrella down

-smiles-

" Good. Glad you understand. But I can't tell you. "

-looks up to the sky-

" All you can do is hope... that I make it out alive. "

"I won´t hope. That´s not my style."

lays down in the grass

"I don´t know you very well, but you see, I think your kind of really into this, so I know that you´ll find a way... If not, I misjudged you."

smiles

-smiles-

" You seem to have a good judgement. You won't be wrong. "

-feels more relaxed, letting out a little yawn as he sees Tatsuo laying back-

" Man, I'm tired... What's taking her so long? "

"I don´t know, but maybe she lost her way..."

smiles

"Man, I´m hungry! It would be great if she could arrive in the next few hours or else I´m starving to death..."

holds his wounded belly

-his stomach groans-

"... I haven't had a full meal in awhile... "

-holds onto his stomach, laying down-

"You´ve got not even time to eat?"

shakes his head

"Man, take your time..."

" I'm always traveling... so it's hard to settle down when I don't have much... "

-closes his eyes-

"I know what you mean. It´s kind of the same with me. With one difference: I trust in other people."

still looking into the sky

-his stomach groans louder, and he slightly blushes-

"... T-Trust, huh? That's hard for me to do... "

"I know that it´s hard. I first thought that it´s better if I only trust in myself but, at a certain point, you can´t do everything on your own."

sits up and looks for Rin

-while his eyes are still closed, he thinks about what Tatsuo said-

-no response-

"Ah, Rin is at her way. Let´s get us treated and then have a good meal."

stands up

-opens his eyes-

" Finally... "

-sits up, stretching-

"Yo, you took long..."

"Don´t complain! It took long to search for a dispensary which could sell me all that stuff..."

lifts up a huge bag filled with all sorts of medicine and bandages

-remains seated-

" Thank you. I understand, it must've been hard. "

looks at him

"As if..."

"Hey, stop that, Rin."

"I didn´t do a thing..."

"You know what I mean!"

"Shut up!"

she hit him near his belly

"Come on! What´s your problem?"

" Hey! If we're done acting like children, I'd like to hurry up and eat. Tatsuo, leave her alone. If she wants to be rude, let her. I don't care. "
