[ He's in a good mood, so: ] Back when I was a kid in Osaka. Had a cop uncle and a genius sister, so house keeping is where I slotted in. [ Keeping a tidy house helped him feel in complete control of his surroundings, putting elbow grease into a stubborn stain helped him forget the bullying at school. ]

[ He doesn't tell her that he was an orphan. Not yet. But his life is built on those foundations. ]

[even though her eyebrow lifts, she restrains any smart comments about him having a cop for an uncle. stranger things had occurred in life.]

If you cooked like this, I'm sure they had absolutely no complaints.

[the unspoken question is where they are now. but now, they're in hell - it's a stupid thing to assume. maybe his sister is doing fine, far away from the yakuza life. maybe his uncle is retired. maybe she's just hopeful.]

Though I'm sure wine wasn't involved.

Nah, we drank beer like civilized thugs. [ Nishitani smirks, eyes downturned slightly and something genuine in him. Drinking beer with Uncle B, late into the night, watching reruns of the most recent baseball game they'd both missed for whatever reason. ]

[ Nishitani doesn't know if his life could've gone any other way. ]

[medicative]

That's good to know. Next time I'll bring beer, so that you can remember all of the good times you had.

[despise the lightness of the words, she does note that genuine quality to his expression, and it's answered with her own. even if it's in little pieces, it's another piece of information about him. given, not forced. she appreciates it.]
