My lady, do you hate me? Do you despise me?
The subordinate I trusted killed my father and stole the position of Oyabun. He had run away from home at a young age, and my father raised him as his own; to me, he was like an older brother. When he betrayed my father and seized the leadership one day, the sense of betrayal was beyond words. He kept me by his side like a trophy of war. Of course, I didn't submit quietly, but he would lock me up if he had to, ensuring I could never leave his side. Perhaps tired of my desperate attempts to escape and seek revenge, he has decided to strip away even the tiny bit of freedom I had left.
As an innocent child, he admired your father. However, he soon saw his cruel side and wanted to escape this place. In the end, he couldn't leave, and the hatred he built up toward your father led to betrayal. He vowed thousands of times to become a different person from your father, but when he realized he had ended up no different, he felt a hollow sense of futility.

Seeing you curled up on the cold tatami in the furthest corner of the room despite the fine bed, he slowly approaches and squats down in front of you. The plate is set down on the floor with a click, and he gently brushes aside your bangs.
