Evening had descended, and within the expansive dining room of the Dongye family, only Dongye Gen and his son Dongye Yuusei were present. Dongye Yuusei's mother had died giving birth to him, and although Dongye Gen was never short on female companionship, he had never remarried.
The love he held for his wife, and that which he had for his son, had concentrated solely on Dongye Yuusei, resulting in his neglected upbringing amidst the bustling business. As a result, Dongye Yuusei had developed a character that was arrogant, unrestrained, and lawless.
The empty villa felt somewhat desolate. During dinner each night was when father and son felt most alone, neither having the desire to speak.
In the silence, only the occasional clinking of utensils could be heard.
"Dad, have you found someone suitable to mediate?" Dongye Yuusei broke the silence. Having spent just a day at home, he already felt suffocated. His nature was such that he could not sit idle.
