Kai opens the door to a dark room, hearing the sound of a heart monitor beeping in the background.  As the light from the hallway illuminated the gloomy room, it reveals an old man bedridden and in a deep sleep.

"Hey Boss..."  Kai said to the old man as he stepped to his bedside.  "I'm sorry I couldn't visit earlier...  I've been...  Busy with a project.  The Shie Hassakai have been making good progress...  Our plan will soon be in motion...  Once these bullets get into circulation in the criminal underworld, the scales will shift in our favor." 

Kai looks at the Boss in silence, listening to the heart monitor beeping before sighing.

"It must be boring, huh?  Stuck inside this room, sleeping all the time...  But I suppose I'm partially to blame for your situation..."  Kai said to the Boss.  "I'm sorry for doing this to you.  I'm sorry that it had to be like this... But you've become old and weak... Scared to step even a single step out of line without invoking the wrath of those so called heroes.  These heroes have corrupted you with fear... And through you, it would've corrupted us."

Kai clenches his fist tightly as he looks at the Boss's face

Kai clenches his fist tightly as he looks at the Boss's face.  He grabs a nearby wash cloth and begins to clean the Boss's face.

"It brings me no joy to do this to you...  But I couldn't let the Shie Hassakai fade away into a memory... This clan gave me something to hold onto when I had nothing... I owe everything to this clan... Everything I do, I do for the sake of our clan... Our organization... Our family." Kai continued. "And for the sake of our family, I will do what I must to ensure our survival... Even something as cruel as this."

Kai puts down the wash cloth once more before taking off his glove and throwing them out.

"Boss...  Soon, you'll see.  You'll see that I was right all along...  And with this new weapon, the world will never be the same ever again."  Kai said as he held up the anti-quirk bullet.  "The Yakuza will thrive once more, we'll sit at the top of the underworld, just like we used to...  The world's changing...  And it's time the Shie Hassakai change with it."  

Kai takes out another pair of gloves from his back pocket and puts them on his hands firmly.

"The Forever Knights have proven to be a useful ally. In exchange for our bullets supply, they've traded us with alien weapons and technology that has accelerated the development of our bullets." Kai said to the Boss. "The League of Villains have joined our side as well... One of their newest members, Albedo even suggested a way we could improve on the bullets as well... He's working on it right now with our team.  Our forces are growing stronger by the day..."
