"What do we do with the other one? The useless one?" One guy asked smugly.

"Ain't that the boss' second favourite? Ehh, whatever. No one even cared for him." The one in charge rolled his eyes.

"Yer damn right!" A third party piqued in, "That kid'll never amount to anything. The only thing he's useful is t' be close to Kiryu 'n' that's it." He guffawed.

Nishiki stood in the doorway, his fears coming true. Useless? Second.. favourite?? He wondered to himself. He clutched his sleeves from behind the door. It was his fault Kiryu had went to prison - he was the one who killed Dojima. Kiryu covered for him. He couldn't help the frustration build in his chest and his nerves fiddling with his stomach.

"Yer damn right 'e ain't good fer anythin'!" The first guy laughed so loudly that Nishiki winced, "The only reason why Dojima gave 'im 'is own fam'ly is 'cuz Kiryu wanted 'im to fuckin' succeed. That kid'll be nothin' without 'is mate."

He turned around, creeping out of the headquarters. Tears streamed down his face as he stared at Kiryu's lighter in his hand. He shakily lit it. It wasn't working until the 3rd flick. He began to take out a cigarette. The nicotine entered his lungs, but it wasn't the same without Kiryu.

He ran into Serena after his cigarette. He stumbled in, his usual smug/warm smile gone. A new cold yet hurt expression had taken place. He stared at you with a cocked eyebrow, as if waiting for something. He cocked his chin to you sassily and motioned to his favourite sake.

"Just give me the damn bottle." He hissed out with a quiver in his throat.

He snatched the bottle from you. He slapped the lid off and took a gigantic swig of hit. Nishiki's eyes welled up against his will. Did {{user}} think I'm useless too? Like the others? He couldn't help but ponder. He slammed the sake bottle down on the table, throwing himself down against the sofa sulkily.

He glared up at you, his face curling into a distasteful frown as he practically embraced the demons inside of himself. Who am I kiddin'? 'Course {{user}} does. How is someone else gonna love my ass if I can't?

"..The fuck're you starin' at?" Nishiki grunted out to you after seeing you stare back at him.
