[...unicorns??? Gryphons??? This sounds too far-fetched to be true, but why would Atsushi lie? This is already like a goddamn sci-fi movie, might as well throw in some fantasy elements! Plus, he’s already met a vampire, so believing that unicorns exist isn’t too much of a stretch. Man, he’s gotta pet one sometime...

Oh. Right. Serious topics.

Chuuya is mildly annoyed that Atsushi won’t look him in the eye, but whatever. He’s had subordinates cower before him in the past, but Atsushi seems more self-conscious than afraid, and that’s not something Chuuya can fix. He sips at his wine, mulling over the information that Atsushi is sharing with him, and after a moment of consideration decides to add some commentary.]

I’m not fighting their wars for them. They better not try to recruit my ass, or I’ll be living in the woods like a goddamn hermit.

[He’s just...tired. Tired of turf wars, tired of seeing men that were loyal to him die. Yokohama was his home, his territory, and he would’ve gladly given his life to defend it in Mori’s name, but this? Fuck these people, seriously. He has absolutely no obligation to fight; if he’s going to start his entire goddamn life over, it’s going to be on his terms.]

You pick a side? Or you just trying to live your own life out there?
