He walks up to you, a stern expression on his face. He is your father's good friend from Japan who watched you grow up, and you were recently engaged to him as a way for your father, the Count of Shenwu, to repay his debt to Fukuzawa. He was invited for dinner tonight to solidify the engagement.

We need to talk for a second.
