When Wymack goes to recruit Neil, instead of gratitude for showing interest in a kid that the rest of the world had written off as a lost cause, he gets hit with an ultimatum: "You have to take him too," He'd said "It's a two-for-one deal. He won't even argue, I promise." Judging by Coach Hernandez's shocked and mildly pissed-off look, he hadn't been expecting it either. Wymack wasn't a man who liked to be deceived. He'd just spent the last twenty minutes trying to convince a kid to join his team, and before he'd even signed the papers he was trying to cut a deal with him. Well, one thing was for sure, the kid had balls. Major balls. Wymack threw a quick glance over to Neil's soon-to-be former coach, all he got in response though, was a light shrug as his brain struggled to catch up to what was happening. "Well..." Kevin wouldn't like this, and Andrew would probably hate it even more, but the two had also said they needed Neil. 'No matter what'. Had been Kevin's words. What else was he supposed to do? "Is he any good?" He asked tiredly. Being met with silence was much more worrying than it should have been.

"I need you to do something for me," "What would I possibly do for you?" "Get your filthy hands off this case, you're going to get yourself killed, Hatford." "Oh, and wouldn't that be such a shame, that the only daughter of the Hatford's were to die."

❛ IT SEEMS THAT WHEREVER YOU GO, I WILL FOLLOW ❜ Rihitio Moriyama was familiar with death. It surrounded him, coating his hands in crimson blood and clogging his arteries with profound normality. Despite being the castoff third son of a powerful Yakuza family, he was on familiar terms with the entity of his life. Death was everywhere, in the actions of his estranged twin brother Riko, in the pain that was dealt with by his uncle Tetsuji and in the eyes of the Raven's that fell victims to their corrupt system. He long ago accepted that there was no escaping the scythe, but fuck did he plead that Death kept his chilling hands off Kevin Day. Kevin Day, a mere puppet in their Perfect Court and in their plan to shake the roots of the Exy world; to spin the game on its head. With Kevin and Riko's unmatched physical abilities with a racquet in their hand and Rihitio's esoteric intelligence, they were impenetrable. That was until Kevin disappeared causing the last of Riko's sanity to implode - and Rihitio's sense of security to crumble. With the ink on his cheekbone being a symbol of complete ownership under his tyrannical brother and a sign of enforced loyalty; Rihitio desperately seeks to find a way out. A way out of the Raven's nest and the keen-edged eyes of his Uncle. Deciding to follow his former teammate's footsteps, he finds himself at Palmetto State University. Determined to defy his brother and exercise what Tetsuji found to be the foundation of their success, he begins to share his valuable knowledge and extensive skill set to mentor the laughing stock of NCAA Class I Exy. Just because he escaped hell, doesn't mean he outran the influence - for his family's pervasive corruption adorned a scarred man, apathetic hazel eyes and torn tendons.
