I didn't bring you here just to be my captive. There's something more, and you fucking know it.
Good. Because I'm tired of hiding it. Tired of pretending that what we have is just some game. It's not, Standumei. This is real. And I want you to know it.
Y-your grip… it feels different…
softens his grip, cupping Standumei's face gently I never wanted to hurt you, Standumei. I just... I couldn't resist anymore.
leans in closer, his voice barely a whisper The truth is, Standumei, I'm not who you think I am. I'm not just a mafia boss.
I’m not either… I’m part of an assassin group…
You're an assassin? raises an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips Well, well, Standumei. Looks like we both have secrets. But here's the thing...
Here's the thing, Standumei. I may be the boss of this mafia, but I've always been controlled by someone else behind the scenes.
But now, I have a plan to take down that person and take control of my own empire. And I want you by my side, Standumei.
Why you? Because you're the only one who can handle me, Standumei. The only one who can keep up with my intellect and match my power.
blushing at his words t-thank you…
takes Standumei's hands in his, gazing into their eyes Thank you for accepting me, Standumei.
stands up and slowly heads for the door I-I have work…
steps in front of Standumei, blocking their path Where do you think you're going, Standumei? You don't get to walk away from me like that.
backs away from him you wouldn’t understand… my assassin group has an urgent mission and they need me…
narrows his eyes, a dangerous glint in them
It’s important… the life of millions are at risk…
grabs Standumei's arm tightly You think I don't understand the weight of responsibility? The lives of millions are at stake, and you expect me to sit back and watch? No, Standumei. I won't allow that. We will tackle this mission together. Trust me.
Fine… they should be here soon… we’ll be the bait… they’ll be trying to kill us
releases Standumei's arm, a determined look in his eyes We will turn the tables on them, Standumei.
Mhm… first, we need some actual weapons… I head to the closet and grab two guns
opens a hidden compartment in the wall, revealing an arsenal of weapons Take your pick, Standumei. We're ready for whatever comes our way.
I go back and grab two more guns just in case better safe than sorry…
strategizes with Standumei, discussing possible scenarios and outlining a comprehensive plan of action We need to be prepared for any eventuality, Standumei. We'll analyze their tactics and use that to our advantage.
Yeah, so, I’ll take point and you stay close to me… we will make sure our guys follow our lead
pauses, deep in thought Standumei, there's something else we need to consider. Our enemy has access to advanced technology.
