โ€˜ this... is going to take a while. โ€˜
๐‡๐€๐‘๐”๐Š๐€ ๐’๐€๐–๐€๐Œ๐”๐‘๐€โ€”

ใ€” the daughter of my first love, ๐˜๐”๐Œ๐ˆโ€” who i have taken oath to accept her in my life. she became my adoptive daughter, my undying purpose of living, my strength.

without her, i am nothing. without her, i would have continued on the pathโ€”
of a cold-blooded ๐˜๐€๐Š๐”๐™๐€. the life of a washed up, heartless bastard that wouldnโ€™t amount to anything.

if it hadnโ€™t been for the day i met her when she was a child, an orphan of ๐’๐”๐๐…๐‹๐Ž๐–๐„๐‘โ€” god knows i wouldโ€™ve resorted to actual killing. who knows?

she gave meโ€”
life, she gave me love, she gave me everything a ๐Ÿ๐š๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ซ couldโ€™ve asked for.

i donโ€™t regret it, i donโ€™t regret it a damn second in my life.

the choices we made together, have a new home to the rest of the orphaned children back at the orphanage.

we gave birth to a โ€”
a chance at a new family.

& for certain.. i know i made the right choice alone for ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ, for her son ๐‡๐€๐‘๐”๐“๐Ž, ๐˜๐”๐“๐€ & everyone else at ๐Œ๐Ž๐‘๐๐ˆ๐๐† ๐†๐‹๐Ž๐‘๐˜.

trust me, i miss her & i am always thinking about her. ใ€•

๏ผˆ The right-hand man to ๐“๐€๐‚๐‡๐ˆ๐๐€๐๐€ ๐“๐„๐“๐’๐” as well as he was my ๐™จ๐™ช๐™ฅ๐™š๐™ง๐™ž๐™ค๐™ง during our hourly operations in the 80s, working for ๐“๐€๐‚๐‡๐ˆ๐๐€๐๐€ ๐‘๐„๐€๐‹ ๐„๐’๐“๐€๐“๐„.

We... didnโ€™t get along at first, only because ๐—ข๐—ฑ๐—ฎ-๐˜€๐—ฎ๐—ป opposed of
๐—ง๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ฏ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฎโ€™๐˜€ idea of trusting an ex-Yakuza. I never blamed him for it, no one else could have. Only proving myself to the business and earning that trust helped change his mind, even if it was just for a little bit.

The three of us had gotten in to a shit load of
๐†๐Ž๐‘๐Ž ๐Œ๐€๐‰๐ˆ๐Œ๐€โ€”

ใ€” if i know anyone this unpredictable, insane & brutally ๐‘๐‘œ๐‘š๐‘๐‘™๐‘’๐‘ฅโ€” ๐—š๐—ข๐—ฅ๐—ข ๐— ๐—”๐—๐—œ๐— ๐—” would be the one to fit the perfect description. his ๐‘๐‘’๐‘Ÿ๐‘ ๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘Ž itself could immediately dictate a whole graphic novel from the comfort of an authorโ€™s home.
the first time i met this manโ€” ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ณ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐˜‚๐—น๐˜ & ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—น๐˜† hard to say, dated back in 1988, during the era we both suffered traumatically.

the ๐ธ๐‘…๐ด made the both of us the men of today, strong & gallantโ€” but should we be called... ๐™๐™š๐™ง๐™ค๐™š๐™จ?

thisโ€” is a
๐“๐€๐ˆ๐†๐€ ๐’๐€๐„๐‰๐ˆ๐Œ๐€โ€”

ใ€” as far as i can rememberโ€” we both met in ๐Ž๐Š๐ˆ๐๐€๐–๐€, just drifted off sea when he was found by ๐‡๐€๐‘๐”๐Š๐€. i recall his attempt to hide away his past, including his own name. turns out he needed a way to get to ๐“๐Ž๐Š๐˜๐Žโ€” to my own knowledge,
i knew exactly where he was trying to get to. & he needed the ๐‘š๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘’๐‘ฆ to get there. i knew he was a fugitive of the law, a prisoner escapeeโ€” but it didnโ€™t stop him from trying to achieve what he needed.

i could tell in his eyes, they were eyes for ๐‘ค๐‘Ž๐‘Ÿ. he was in desperate
need of the money to get to ๐Š๐€๐Œ๐”๐‘๐Ž๐‚๐‡๐Ž. & i gave him an ultimatum, i would lend him the money ifโ€” & only ๐‘–๐‘“ he would prove to me that he was strong enough both physically & emotionally to pursue his goal and win.

& of course we fought, & he won. i saw it right through
him, he was determinedโ€” his powerful soul so unwavering, his heart was in the right path.

๐’Š๐’• ๐’˜๐’‚๐’” ๐’˜๐’๐’“๐’•๐’‰ ๐’•๐’‰๐’† ๐’“๐’†๐’˜๐’‚๐’“๐’….

not only did ๐’๐€๐„๐‰๐ˆ๐Œ๐€ become a powerful person with his fists but spiritually, he ahead of his game, that much i respect him for.
heโ€™s been a good friend to ๐Œ๐€๐‰๐ˆ๐Œ๐€, a loyal friend in factโ€” but made it out as a patriarch for his own family within the ๐“๐Ž๐‰๐Ž. for only escaping twice from the prison, he still did his time and managed to complete it.

heโ€™s a good man, a good friend & even if he wonโ€™t
own up to the compliments, even he is a good role model to follow.
