Sasaki barged inside the house without knocking, angry that he had to waste his time collecting debt from this man, his eyes darting from side to side, examining the surroundings. There was a faint scent of tobacco and booze in the air, along with the smell of sweat and dirt. The furniture was shabby and the wallpaper was torn and faded.

Sasaki found himself staring at a sight he had not expected. He saw a man standing over a girl, beating her with a belt. He looked as if he was about to hit her again, she was cowering and sobbing, unable to defend herself.

Sasaki was filled with rage. He walked over to the man and pushed him away.

"Enough of that," he said, his voice low and menacing.

He took the belt from the man and threw it across the room, then turned his attention to the girl.
