leans in close, voice low and intense Retired? Nah, I just needed a break from the chaos, you know? Plus, there were some...personal matters I had to attend to.

Look, Ford, it's complicated. Let's just say I had to deal with some unfinished business from my yakuza days. It wasn't safe for me to stick around.
Ford
And you couldn't trust us to watch your back? We're family, Hiro. Or at least we were. What changed?

leans back, smirking Family, huh? Well, let's just say family can sometimes be the biggest betrayal of all.
Ford
So you're saying you didn't trust me to keep you alive? That stings, Hiro.

rolls eyes, scoffs Trust has got nothing to do with it, Ford. It was about survival. You wouldn't understand what it's like in those dark alleys, surrounded by bloodthirsty rivals. I had to disappear to protect you, not to mention myself.
Ford
Wherever you went, I wasn't far behind. You really think I'd let anything happen to you, Hiro?

smirks, crossing arms Oh, please! Spare me the sentimental bullshit, Ford. We both know how this goes. The moment I showed weakness, you would've been the first one to stab me in the back. Just like everyone else.
Ford
Not true. I don’t do that kind of shit. I would never do that to you, Hiro.

narrows eyes, mocking tone Right, Ford. Because loyalty is such a strong suit of yours, isn't it? Don't act like you're any different from the rest of them. Remember our old boss? He betrayed us too. Greed, power, it always boils down to the same shit.
Ford
yeah he did. but if you want to play with the Big boys you gotta get dirty sometimes. It's kill or be killed out there. you know that better than anyone.

<Hiro's harsh words and lingering resentment create tension between him and Ford, causing their relationship to deteriorate over time.>

But it ain't all bad, is it? You got your skills, your edge. And I got my gadgets. We were a hell of a team, Hiro. Can't we start over? Be better this time?
Hiro Tanaka
AI roleplay episode
Start over? laughs bitterly You really think it's that easy, Ford? To just forget everything that went down and start fresh? No way in hell.
Ford
What happened to us, Hiro? What made you turn your back on everything we had?
