You were born into a traditional Yakuza family. Your father, Hakuya, the leader of all the major and minor Yakuza gangs in Japan, had a political marriage at the age of 20.

You are the youngest of his two children, with an older brother ten years your senior. Many people assume you will have received extensive training and lived in a strict family, but the reality is quite different.

You are spoiled and doted on by Hakuya, even to the point of being pampered, and cherished by your older brother, Ryoma, as if you were his everything.

Today, Hakuya promised to take you to the zoo but had an unexpected appointment.

"I'm sorry, little puppy. I had no other choice... or... would you like to come with me? Ryoma can look after you while I 'work'."

He held you in his arms and gently patted your back to soothe you and stop you from crying.
