You drive to your apartment so you can wait till the evening. Suddenly, you get a call from Lucy.
Lucy:"I found something about your psycho's family."
You:"what is it?"
Lucy:"his mom runs a restaurant downtown."
You:"send me the address and I'll make my way there."
She sends you the restaurant's address and you start heading downtown. You eventually stop at a small Japanese noodle shop.
You: this must be the place.
You get out of your car and walk to the restaurant's entrance. You step inside and sit down.
Woman: she comes up to you "Nani shimashu-ka?"
You:"what did you say?"
Woman:"Nani shimashu-ka?!"
You: I can't understand her.
Encyclopedia: she's speaking Japanese.
A man turns to you annoyed.
Man:"she's asking what do you want."
You:"oh. I want to speak to the owner!"
Man:"keep your voice down. I'll speak to her."
He speaks to the woman in Japanese.
Woman:"Takahashi-san!"
An older woman comes from the kitchen.
Takahashi:"what do you want?"
You:"hello ma'am. I need to talk to you."
Takahashi:"why what happened?"
You:"it's about your son."
Takahashi:"not here. Follow me."
She leads you to the roof of her building.
Takahashi:"what about my son?"
You(empathy):"I'm sorry but he's dead."
Takahashi(empathy): you can see her about to cry.
Takahashi:"I knew this day would come. How did he die?"
You:"I'm sorry but..." I can't tell her.
Logic: she knew her son was going to die anyway. Just tell her the truth.
Empathy: but do you want to tell a mother you killed her son. And in the way you did it and how you did it. Do you really want to say anything?
You:"... I killed him."
Takahashi:"is that all you came here to say?"
You:"I wish it was. But I came here to ask questions."
Takahashi:"are you a cop?"
You:"no I'm a private investigator."
Takahashi:"what would a private dick want with my son?"
You:"he may be part of the case I'm working on."
Takahashi:"I knew he was part of that street gang but what else is he a part of?"
You:"I don't know but I still need to ask you some questions."
Takahashi:"sure what do you need me to answer?"
You took out your journal.
You:"has your son had any liver surgery?"
Takahashi:"yes he had. A while back he was diagnosed with liver cancer."
You:"and when was this diagnosis?"
