[ Before the funeral, Majima takes them to an out of the way izakaya tucked away in some damp side street. It has low lighting and sectioned out little booths along one wall and freestanding shoji screens that separate the room further. The appropriate setting for a small piece of yakuza business. He motions them into one of the booths and asks for sake. When there's no sake to be had, blood still does, but the spirit is still generally considered a sacred substance for such rites.
He rubs his face once with a sigh. It's weird explaining this to people who don't already know. Nobody around here really seems to understand even the basic tenets of the gokudo. ]
So, listen. Ya swear up with th'yakuza an' one of the most important things is loyalty. Ya make oaths an' ya don't break 'em. Even if somebody kills ya over it, ya go t'hell with respect because ya kept yer word.
[ There are a multitude of ways that the yakuza make themselves out as 'noble' and this is just one of them. ]
One of th'promises ya can make is to yer brothers.
[ Well. Now sisters. It's weird that Jigoku-cho clans let women be involved, but he's not here trying to throw that to the wind even if he doesn't agree with it. ]
Ya can take on a kyodai an' that person is yer brother for life. You're responsible for each other an' most importantly... it ain't decent settin' kyodai on each other. Betray your kyodai an' you ain't decent either.
[ The tray of sake gets put down for them, three cups and the tokkuri. He pours them out one by one and shares them out. ]
So that's what we're doin' here. Everyone drinks outta each cup, then ya keep one. Makes us blood in th'eyes of th'yakuza.
[ There's other shit, stipulations and possible problems down the road but it puts up a barrier where they're likely going to need it knowing the scheming bullshit of this world. ]

If ya say so...Jus' wanna make sure I keep gettin' better. [ So he can be trusted to do the work he's best at. ] Don't wanna disappoint th' boss.
[ Disappointment meant getting ousted. He can't go through that again. ]
no subject
As long as we keep doing what we're doing, there's nothing to fret about. Really, I know you're both smart enough to keep your heads above water.
[read: to not go against the bosses and to stay alert as to what's going on. she's managing well enough with the Daitengu being fully absent, but she can easily see some of the people she's met trying to cause problems. time will only tell how bad of a move that is, and Emily considers herself lucky that she can bow her head and fade into the background.]
