"I'll have to kill him. For the sake of my happiness."

But could live with the guilt... hm? Could you live the rest of your life suffering from the pain and anguish that another person would die by your very own hands?
You question your morals as you let go of Megumi's hand.
But of course, is this REALLY the time to be second guessing yourself? You've just sealed your fate haven't you? You have two paths, death or death of another. Isn't the choice obvious?

"What are you thinking about?" You snap out of your internal debate to see Megumi's face a little too close for your liking. Actually it's exactly to your liking. He looks like an idol. If he was. He's definitely be the visuals of the group. "Stop fawning over my brother you dingus. I know those eyes anywhere." You're brought back to reality by Kohane.

"A-ah! I'm so sorry- Mr Mafia boss man sir!" You blurt out and quickly bow.

"Pfft. You're way too hyper. As long as you aren't too loud and respect me properly I won't have your head cut off ok?" He chuckles. "Ko, I expect you to have details of your little plan by the end of the day, on my desk. If not I'll freeze your card. Well! I'm a busy man. I must get going. It was a... humbling experience to chat with you." He strode off, and upright posture yet relaxed pace. He hummed to himself as he reached for the door.

"What are we going to do about the living arrangements?" Kohane remarked as she looked at her brother with a disappointed face. "For a clan leader, you're very inefficient."

"Well, Ko, since it's your plan. I'm sure you won't mind sharing your room?" He laughed as he spoke, he turned his head around. A condescending look appeared as he stared at his sister. Kohane stood there, most likely contemplating where you'd stay. "Tsk. Fine, now go away asshole. An's gonna be here soon."

"Oh? Your bestie boo~?" He cackled as he said that. Kohane's face flushed with anger. "Oh right! For insulting me like 8 times, I'll freeze your card anyway!" He smiled as he put his hands into a shape of a heart.
"What?! That's not fa-" SLAM! Megumi had left. Kohane turns to you in defeat. "Look what you've just seen isn't how our clan operates, I promise you. We're a force to not to be reckoned with."

"D-don't worry! I-I know." Flashbacks of your house being turned into Swiss cheese by bullets flood your mind. You feel glad it wasn't you.

"You'll be staying in my room, my brother's got a few conference meetings, executions and such for today, so, you can relax for now. I'm not so keen on killing people for stupid things. Just behave and everything will be okay." You breathe a sigh of relief and as you follow Kohane to where you'd be staying. You ponder, What would've happened to you if... Kohane never offered? You shudder. No time for thinking about possibility. You need to focus on reality. Wait. 'Everything will be okay?'
Where have you heard that before... TSUKASA! YOU COMPLETELY FORGOT. "KOHANE! CAN I PLEASE HAVE MY PHONE!" You cry out as you grab her arm.

"Wh-what? Why?" Kohane looks at you with confusion, your were completely calm merely a second ago. "I have to call Tsukasa! He'll have a heart attack if he finds my home riddled with bullets and me, missing!" You panic as you clench her arm further. "Ok ok, I get it, but I literally cannot give you your phone back. We don't have it, there wasn't a phone." Realisation strikes you. YOU NEVER TOOK YOUR PHONE BACK FROM RUI. You didn't get a chance to due to the bullet barrage. You start hyperventilating. Kohane grabs your shoulders. "Stop panicking you buffoon! Just call him on my phone and say we're having a multiple day sleepover or something. It's an easy solve!" Kohane tries to reassure you.

"Tsukasa has been with my basically my whole life! He knows me like the back of his hand! There's no way he'd fall for some lie about me hanging out with someone I've never actually talked to!" You start stressing out. If he finds out, there's no doubt he'd call the police, then the Naganohara would find out and call it treason! So much for no time for possibility huh? RIGHT! NO TIME FOR SLY REMARKS! "Trust me, the guy's not as smart as you think he is." You respond with an offended look, but you have no choice but to go along with the plan. A little bit of pushing in numbers later- *ring ring!*
