Many of those who pass away leave someone behind.
And once again today, families, friends, and neighbors...
...grieve for those who has lost their life.
No matter what the day and age, that never changes.
The only difference is that it happens so often in this town.
Right... That's all.
Don't you need to see Maria?
Don't you need to attend the funeral?
Brandon, you shouldn't blame yourself for Maria's father's death.
We were fighting with Deed.
His brother was a Mafioso.
Kenny's gun was a toy.
We were punks.
There's a ton of causes.
The fact that WE survived might just be an accident.
Something's not quite right... But I have no idea what it is.
Frustration over not knowing what, and indescribable sorrow...
Those are the only things embracing me right now.
Hey, look! It's Harry and Brandon!
Is it true that THEY killed Deed?
Yeah, I heard that Deed's guys saw it with their own eyes!
On top of that, I've heard the rumor that they killed his big brother, the Mafia guy, too.
Don't cross paths with them.
Harry and Brandon are pretty mad about their friends being killed.
I heard that Scott the Snitch trapped them.
They paid him a visit and settled the score big time.
Listen, don't go anywhere near Harry and Brandon.
Right now, they're more vicious than even the Mafia.
What are you going to do now, Maria?
I bet Jester had hardly any savings.
I'll quit school and find a job.
It's impossible for a girl like you to live in this town on your own.
What am I supposed to do, then?
Brandon...
For some reason...
Ever since that day, this town has felt really small...
I wonder why.
I wonder why...
This is awfully careless of you, Bear.
Millennion's #1 sweeper is downing drinks in the middle of the day without his underlings...
I heard all about it. The way that incident turned out isn't like you at all.
You're a brilliant sweeper, and you're Loyal to the organization to a fault.
You're an ideal member.
But you're a little too compassionate. Even towards a pawn sacrificed by the enemy.
That's not true.
All I did was pump lead into a man who killed Daddy's friend.
To be honest with you, it would've been helpful for the investigation...
...of the case in question if you kept him alive.
That guy never would have talked.
Not even with drugs?
Never.
All right. Let's just leave it at that, then.
You've come all this way to tell me THAT, Randy?
No. I'm here today to tell you about that young lady.
I'm going with Daddy to go pick her up tomorrow.
Is that so. Thanks for taking care of her.
Oh, that reminds me. How old is your daughter now?
She'll be seven next month.
She must be the apple of your eye.
That was a real shame, Harry.
You've got my condolences over the men that you lost.
Thanks a lot.
Come on, don't be so surly.
Deed's big brother was real Mafioso. Even I couldn't touch him.
You understand that, don't you?
Sure, I do.
By the way, what do you think of working under me?
It's gonna be pretty hard for just two of you to get by in this neighborhood.
You're joking, right?
There's not much of a future in following a boss who wets his pants...
...at the first sight of a Mafioso.
Who do you think you are, you little punk?!
Bastard!
Mr. Descartes, I happened to notice that this trigger is surprisingly light...
O-Okay, fine... Do whatever you want.
Thanks.
Who does he think he's messing with?! Shit!
Damn! Damn! Damn!
Hey, get the guys ready for some action!
Sure, boss.
Are we gonna kill them?
Right. One way or another, it's a pain to have guys like them around.
Especially guys who don't care if they live or die.
Brandon, I'm leaving this town.
Not that I have anywhere to go...
There's no guarantee that things will go well at a new place, either.
But I can't fly free here...
I've got no ties to this town. But you have Maria.
If you wanna stay close to her, you can do that.
I'm leaving, even if it's just me.
No matter what they are, I just want changes in my life.
Harry...
I know I'm being selfish, but let me do this.
I'll come with you.
Are you sure?
We're partners, aren't we?
What was THAT?
You think you're cool, or what?
Miss Maria, I'm sorry I haven't introduced myself yet.
My name is Asagi.
I've been friends with your adoptive father for a long time.
But I haven't seen him for several years.
So allow me to apologize for the delay in learning of his death.
No, you don't need to apologize.
Jester was a very dear, irreplaceable friend.
I can't believe that he's gone forever...
Um... Mr. Asagi, how did you know Uncle?
He and I worked at the same company.
For 15 years we worked our fingers to the bone, striving for the same goal.
If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be where I am today.
I cannot thank him enough for what he's done for me.
Is that so?
I'm sure it's boring for you to listen to an old man talking about the old days.
Not at all.
Miss Maria, I came today to offer you a suggestion.
What would you say to living at my mansion?
I realize it's out of the blue, so it's no wonder that you're surprised.
But Jester, who was my friend and someone whom I owed so much,
...went out of his way to adopt you and protect you.
I want to take over his wish.
How did you know about THAT?
I had someone at our company look into it. Please forgive us for taking the liberty.
O-Of course.
Miss Maria, I think it is far too dangerous for you to live on your own here.
If you come to live at the president's mansion, you will have an easy life.
Given a choice between life here and life or life at the mansion,
...I don't see why you would even need to think about it.
Randy!
I'm sorry. I spoke out of turn.
However, living there will also ensure your own safety, Miss Maria
But...
Anyway, why don't you come for a visit once?
You can decide after that.
The only thing I'd like to emphasize is that Jester and I both want you to be happy.
That's all.
Miss Maria, I have one more favor to ask. Could you please let me visit Jester's grave?
I understand. I'll be happy to take you there.
I'd appreciate that, Miss Maria.
Sorry, guys. We've decided to leave this town.
But one day, when we've made it big and are rolling in dough,
...we'll build you guys some spectacular graves.
So...
...forgive us, okay?
Harry.
Talk about conscientious...
Is that Maria?!
Maria!
Brandon!
Do you know him?
Y-Yes. We've been friends over the years.
But why, Brandon...?
Why?
Miss Maria, please leave this to me.
Please don't worry. I'm used to negotiating.
It is dangerous to stay here. Please go to the President's mansion with him.
These aren't ideal circumstances, but it can't hurt to see the mansion just once.
Um, please protect Brandon...
I understand.
Take it from here.
Yes, sir.
This is an unexpected turn of events
Everything will be fine, Miss Maria. My subordinates are quite capable.
Maria!
B-Brandon!
Don't move.
Harry, come out!
Your partner's gonna have a hole in his head in a minute!
Run!
Shut up!
Hurry up and come out! Harry!
All right, all right.
He actually came out!
Harry...?
If you're gonna go, I'm going, too.
We're partners, right?
Buddies risking their lives for each other, huh?
Then go to the next life hand in hand!
What the hell?
Lives are meant to be revered here. What do you think you're doing?
What the hell do you want, old man?
Who do you think you are, coming out of nowhere like that?
An old friend of my boss' is laid to rest in this cemetery.
If this nonsense continues here, I'll show you no mercy.
Even if you are just young punks.
Do you still plan on going against our organization?
Do you understand what that would mean?
Just try to imagine.
Imagine the worst possible thing happening to your families, friends, and neighbors.
You're Mafia?
That's correct, kid.
P-Please don't kill me.
Of course not. We don't stand to gain anything by killing you.
So, run along and go home.
Listen to your parents. Live an honest life.
Become productive members of society.
So... I get to go home?
Value your lives.
Y-Yes, sir.
You had a narrow escape.
You saved us!
Thank you so much. You're with Millennion, aren't you?
Good call. You should hone that keen insight of yours.
Why did you save us?
You don't need to know. Now, if you'll excuse us...
Uh... could I possibly join your organization?
You're not cut out for it.
I want to join!
Harry...
I'm sorry, Brandon. My destination has changed.
The way things are going... I'm not gonna be able to get what I really want.
I realize that I'm asking a lot...
You're only thinking of yourself.
I'll show you. I'll show you that I'm useful.
I'll get revenge against those guys who attacked us,
...and against a guy by the name of Descartes who's the local crime boss.
So please, let me join your organization.
You seem to have a serious misunderstanding here.
It's not the philosophy of the Mafia to kill people randomly.
You said your enemy is the local crime boss?
Then put the squeeze on him. You can't get anything out of a dead man.
Use the fact that he went against you as a reason to extort from him.
And then try to get more productivity out of him.
Bind your opponent with invisible power. That's the proper way to use power.
I'll make it happen in two hours.
This is the way to use power, Millennion style.
Sorry I made you tag along with me.
Um, I...
If you're really serious, get in the car.
Well, so long, Brandon.
Brandon?!
Great!
Harry is my precious partner. I don't want to be separated from him.
That's what I thought.
And I also had a feeling...
That I would be certain to find Maria at the place where this car was headed...
I had this strange certainty deep down inside.
Ashita wo ima ni nuri kae te ku...
...hajimari wa itami to namida.
Chirabaru kodoku tsuranuite ku...

"Ima iru kono basho wa suri heru dake no game."
Sore nara ore wa tada warau dake de kateru hazu.

Millennion. This city's largest criminal syndicate.
Even if it means straying from the straight and narrow,
...I'll find a way to survive inside the organization.
Because my irreplaceable friend is there.
