Hey, friend. Thanks for joining me when I had to deal with that mess a while ago. You were a real help.

Yuri

I wouldn't say you've fully earned my trust, but... you've earned something, for sure. I owe you.
link
Yuri
volume_up

I can't not worry about it. I don't like owing people.

Yuri

Guess I'll just have to surprise you someday.

I would like. Open offer to share your desires. But if the price is too high, I reserve my right to refuse you.

I was just rummaging through what we recovered from the Scorpions, and I stumbled across something pretty special to me.
link
What's with the notebook?
link
Yuri
volume_up

It was under lock and key, so those thugs probably thought it was something of high value.
link
Yuri
volume_up

The elder gave it to me when I was small. Losing it really got me where it hurts...
link
Yuri
volume_up

I guess it couldn't hurt to tell you about it.

Yuri

Can't quite remember how old I was, but my mother had taken in an elderly man wandering the town.
link
Yuri
volume_up

He was worse for wear—could barely even walk. She nursed him back to health under our humble roof.
link
Yuri
volume_up

In return for her kindly gesture, he taught me to read and write. This notebook is a relic of those times.

Not too long after that, I came down with a terrible illness.
link
Yuri
volume_up

We had no money to speak of, so a doctor's visit was out of the question. My mother went everywhere asking for help, to no avail.
link
Yuri
volume_up

And then the elder stepped in and saved me. I don't know how he did it...or what it was he did.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Could've been. I never knew much about him, honestly. He could've been a mage, a scholar... I haven't the foggiest.
link
Yuri
volume_up

And I'll never know. Shortly after curing me of my illness, he passed on. Natural causes.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Long since passed on. Natural causes. I believe it happened shortly after he cured me.
link
Yuri
volume_up

My illness, it turns out, was part of a larger plague that swept through our village. So many died...
link
Yuri
volume_up

And there I was, having escaped death by some strange luck. I felt grateful...and helpless.
link
Yuri
volume_up

So little Yuri figured it would be his mission to help anyone he could as he grew up.
link
Help them how?
link
Yuri
volume_up

However I could. Not necessarily by making gold rain from the sky, but in smaller ways.
link
Yuri

The streets are filled with kids who have no homes, no food... So many dying of disease, where some cheap medicine would've saved them.
link
Yuri
volume_up

I figure, if I can save even one unlucky soul, well... then I'm doing my part, you know?
link
Yuri
volume_up

It's a small dream, but it's one I hold in my heart—to help those who need it. It's what my gang's about.
link
Yuri
volume_up

When I recruit my people, it's to that end—to give them a home. The turf wars, the gang, all of it...to honor that dream.

Yeah? Well, thanks. Despite what you now know about me, I'm still the lord of the underground. Don't go forgetting that.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Wouldn't you like to know? Despite all I've done, I have my own honor. I don't lie to someone if I owe them.
link
Yuri
volume_up

I do what I have to, whether people view it as fair or foul.
link
Yuri

The way I see things, the goddess gave me two gifts: my life and my charm.
link
Yuri
volume_up

That's been gift enough to get in with slimy nobles so I can pull their strings as I see fit.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Of course. It wasn't always easy, but in the end, it's all the same little game.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Of course. I use my marionettes to help me smuggle things, maneuver as needed... You get the idea.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Once, I used a clever name—and my charms—to become the attendant to the head slug of a noble house.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Yet another time, I took a name befitting the Kingdom. That landed me in the academy as a noble's adopted son.
link
Yuri
volume_up

That's how I've gotten this far and earned my fortune. In doing so, I've spread my wings of protection further, to help those who need it most.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Heh! As though I'd tell you, friend. But perhaps you can share what it is you think, hmm?
