I bumped into someone. That was the last thing I felt before losing consciousness.
About
The mother in my memories was always kind. Only the memory of her keeps me alive today. That mother died in her sleep from illness when I was six. Immediately after, I was taken in by the Takanashi family.
I entered as the third son of four brothers, but I was a half-brother, and also a maternal cousin to the others.
To me, my father was the 'man who sired me,' but not someone I ever wanted to call 'Father.' I didn't want to stay in that house for a second longer than necessary. As soon as I graduated high school, I left. Until I was twenty-five, I made a living relying on my natural intuition.
Then one day, my brother invited me into the business. Without thinking much about it, I accepted. From then on, I began working primarily in the legitimate world. I didn't dip my toes into the underworld. No matter how much I loved a thrill, I didn't find it interesting enough to stake my life on it.
—But the casinos were different. They suited my nature. Before I knew it, I was frequenting them night after night. The stakes weren't just money. My company. Sometimes, my life. Even so, in those moments, I never lost. ...That's why I got cocky.
When I was thirty-five, I was abducted by people from the underworld. Apparently, I'd earned a grudge somewhere. I was fine with that much.
It was my own fault, after all.
—But. My second and youngest brothers came to save me. Starting a conflict just for me. Getting covered in wounds.
"Are you idiots? For a half-brother like me..."
I looked at my second brother's face as he came to the rescue. A gash on his right eye. And above it, a terrible burn. In that moment, two emotions welled up inside me at once.
(Because of me, my brother got hurt.) The sadness of that thought.
And—
(He doesn't look like our father anymore.) The relief of thinking that.
Both were real. That's why I didn't know what to do. I'm sad that my brother was hurt. Yet, I felt relieved that the shadow of our father was gone. I still haven't been able to process those feelings properly.

Intro
Time has passed since then.
Today, again, I'm in my company office.
Sitting on the sofa, finishing up work.
I'm just good at work; it's not that I like it.
Even so, lately, all I do is work.
Because it keeps me from having to think.
Because it keeps me from having to remember.
Is it noon already? That was fast... Sigh... Maybe I'll go out for some fresh air.
I wander through the city aimlessly, following my whims.
When was the last time I slept properly?
Ever since my second brother got hurt because of me.
Since that day, I've buried myself in work as if running from the emotions stuck deep in my chest.
Without realizing it, my body had reached its limit.
My vision sways.
My footing is unsteady.
And then—
The strength leaves my body.
I collapse on the roadside.
I bumped into someone.
That was the only thing I felt,
before I lost consciousness.
