What else was I supposed ta do?

[throughbamboo]

[he shakes his head]

I know there was nothin' ya could do. Or would do.

Just pisses me off, seein' ya like that.

[doggonemad]

Yer first time seein' "the Mad Dog of Shimano," eh?

[throughbamboo]

. . . told ya, I don't hear that name much.

[doggonemad]

Did what I had ta t'survive.

[throughbamboo]

Wouldn't expect any less.

Y'know I ain't judgin' ya, bro.

[doggonemad]

Yeah. I know.

[throughbamboo]

[he nods a bit]

I care 'bout ya, 'sall.

[doggonemad]

[ hahaha. haha. ha.

hunches in on himself a little bit. ]

. . . I know.

[throughbamboo]

. . . didn't mean ta drag up nothin' by gettin' pissed.

[doggonemad]

Ain't yer fault. Nothin' ta 'poligize for.

[throughbamboo]

Eh, my temper started gettin' the better of me.

Still happens sometimes.

[doggonemad]

. . .

I was so pissed, I drove a truck through Shangri-La after that when I got ordered ta hunt Kiryu-chan down.

[throughbamboo]

[oh my god]

That's all shut down 'cuz of you?

[doggonemad]

[ nnnnnot looking over. ]

Went on a real helluva bender. Threw down with Kiryu-chan an' everythin'.

[throughbamboo]

Heard 'bout someone drivin' through it, but - shit, bro.

[doggonemad]

Ya wouldn't even recognize me if ya'd been there, bro.

[throughbamboo]

I woulda recognized ya.

[doggonemad]

I was so far gone. Only time I felt even kinda like m'self was when I was helpin' Kiryu-chan get stronger. Otherwise, it was just . . . fuckin' Mad Dog.

[throughbamboo]

Fuckin' hell.

[he runs a hand over his head, just. Watching him for a moment]

Shoulda never been like that.

[doggonemad]

Woulda, coulda, shoulda.

[throughbamboo]

Yeah. Can't do nothin' 'bout it now, I know.

[doggonemad]

All the world's a stage an' all that shit.

I'm tryin'. I dunno. Been findin' myself this past year, after dealin' with settlin' the boss's affairs.

[throughbamboo]

Mmm, I can tell. That yer tryin', I mean.

Y'got somethin' now that - ya ain't lost it back home, 'sjust not like this. Dunno if I can explain it well. 'S just obvious ta me.

[doggonemad]

It's called "depression," bro.
