Flashback, 1983

"Melody... whenever I'm with ya, I... I feel like I can be comfortable about how I feel and be comfortable with who I really am. I-I feel like I wanna be with you as long as we're together, ya know?"

Melody: Tony... you really are sweet and protective... but, why are you telling this to me now?

"Cos I don't wanna let all those nasty bastards get the wrong idea. I don't want 'em to think I'm some little shit that can be push around easily. I don't want Charlie or any of those fuckin' pricks I work for a livin' know about us."

Melody: I see... Tony... I love you-

09:48 AM, July 1st, 1994

Tony woke up from his dream of his old past, feeling awfully tired, due to not getting enough sleep last night, and not feeling bothered in getting up for work. All he cared about was getting some proper good sleep for once. Tony closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep again, until he heard a few loud knocks coming from his apartment door. Despite this, he tried to ignore the knocking, thinking it was coming from an annoying con artist or whatever. However, Tony heard his door open, accompanied with a few footsteps, letting him know that the noisemaker was someone he was familiar with. Tony then heard the door to his bedroom open with a squeak, which was already getting on his nerves, and heard a much more familiar voice.

Revy: Get up, you lazy shit! I don't wanna waste my time waking you up from your slumber!

In response, Tony grunted in frustration whilst lying his face down on one of his pillows, trying to pretend Revy wasn't in the room.

Revy: C'mon, Tony! Get up! We got a job to do!

Tony: [muffled] I'm fuckin' knackered here! (Go away... just fuck off.)

Revy: So am I, but gotta work my ass off too! Now, get up!

Revy smacked Tony in the ear to get up out of bed, causing him to shout in pain and get him out of his sleepy state.

Tony: Ow! You fuckin' cunt! [gets up from his bed] A'right, I'm goin'! Just lemme get dressed first.

Revy: [crosses her arms] That's more like it. Make it quick, will ya?

Tony walked over to his closet with an exhausted sigh and got started on putting on his usual attire. While he was getting dressed, Revy looked around both Tony's bedroom and his living room and they looked as if Tony barely did anything to clean the place up. There were some booze stains on the floorboards and on Tony's bed. There were also some clothes lying around the floor, as well as a few empty bottles. Sure, Revy's place was nowhere near cleaner, but Tony's been on Roanapur way less than her and his apartment already looked like a mess.

Revy: Huh, not a bad touch you got for this place. (Definitely an absolute mess some insomniac would leave.)

Tony: [sarcastically] Thanks. It was never a holiday house anyway. [continues to get dressed] (Is there a good reason to clean up my messes? It's not my house. I'm just stayin' in some cheap apartment that smells of ashes and old greasy crap.)

Revy: Still, it wouldn't hurt to buy yourself an alarm clock or something.

Tony: [puts his Hawaiian shirt on] Yeah, well it'd probably piss me off even more and I'd just break the damn thing.

Revy: [laughs] Point taken. Anyway, let's go. I'm driving us to the port.

Tony: [scoffs] What, you drivin'? Please! Last time I had you drive, I thought you were gonna do an Aryton Senna right into a fuckin' car!
