Ryuutaro couldn't remember ever having felt this miserable, angry and helpless. His fight with Daidouji had been close, but that had been another thing and it seemed so far away from everything that was happening now and here. It was merely a blurry memory.
Ryuutaro didn't know what to do and it was upsetting him. This feeling of helplessness was still unusual to him, even if it had become more common lately.

As Hayato's father appeared, both Ryuutaro and Nobuhiro turned to look at him.
Maybe it was better that he appeared before Nobuhiro had a chance to reply. The yakuza leader passed a slow nod in Hayato's father's direction.
"Take your time with this, it seems necessary."

And that was Ryuutaro letting out a huff and giving his father the most poisonous of glares.
