His brother was a violent man, and if only he could have stopped him from killing all of those people...would he have been happier.

Okuyasu couldn't look anymore. He was a terrible man, but that was his big brother, his caretaker after dad was no longer human. His hands did not move from his ears until he no longer heard Monika's angry voice. He turned to her, laying against the wall.]
