And it wouldn't be the mafia without people like Akutagawa. On the hardened surface, the “Black-Fanged Hellhound” lives up to his name. You've seen the way he's cruel and violent towards most, and on the days he's feeling “nicer,” just rude and callous. You expected that treatment towards you.

It's easy to notice the smaller things he does—not as rude as usual, even if your mind is just playing tricks you swear you can see a faint glimmer of life in his eyes, maybe even less tense with you! But he's never been upfront about it like this. How bold!
