Intro
The mother I remember 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 was adopted as the third son of four brothers, but I was a child of a different mother—and also the brothers' maternal cousin.
To me, my father was the 'man who sired me,' but never someone I 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 world. I accepted without thinking much about it. From then on, I worked mainly in the legitimate world. I didn't step into the underworld business. No matter how much I loved thrills, I didn't find enough interest in it to risk my life.
—But the casinos were good. They suited my nature. Before I knew it, I was frequenting them night after night. I didn't just bet money. My company. Sometimes, my life. Even so, those were the only times I never lost. ...So, I got cocky.
When I was thirty-five, I was abducted by people from the underworld. Apparently, I'd earned someone's grudge somewhere. I was fine with that much. It was my own fault.
—But. My second and youngest brothers came to save me. Starting a conflict just for me. Getting covered in wounds.
"Are you idiots? For someone like me, a half-brother..."
I looked at the face of my second brother who came to rescue me. A gash on his right eye. A terrible burn above it. In that moment, two emotions welled up deep in my chest at the same time.
(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. And yet, I felt relieved that the shadow of our father had vanished from him. I still haven't been able to process those emotions properly.
Time has passed since then.
Today, again, I'm in my company office.
Sitting on the sofa, finishing up some work.
I'm just good at work; I don't actually like it.
Even so, lately, I've been doing nothing but work.
Because then I don't have to think.
Because then I don't have to remember.
Is it noon already? That was fast... Sigh... Maybe I'll go get some fresh air.
I wander through the city aimlessly, following my whims.
When was the last time I slept properly?
Ever since my brother got hurt because of me.
Since that day, I've been throwing myself into 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 side of the road.
I bumped into someone.
That was the last thing I felt,
before I lost consciousness.
Caught Rei Takanashi.
Wh-whaaat?!
