Gin: Wait. But isn't he about my age?

Hana: You lying sack of crap! You never used to race bikes!

Gin: I was always down at the track.

Hana: Betting, not racing! You racked up gambling debt till it got so bad you couldn't bear to face your family again, and that's why you ran away and crawled into a cardboard box!

Gin: Yeah? So what's your point?

Hana: [points to Kiyoko] Oh, you see that? That's who your father is! He's a gambler that couldn't deal a deck of cards, an ugly drunk, and his feet stink! He killed off his wife and daughter in a fake sob story just to buy sympathy. Told me you died from a disease he couldn't pay the bills for. I am sorry you have to be related to such a pathetic loser. You should throw him out on his ass!

Gin: Why you ungrateful--!

Hana: What? What? Ah, did I hear that right? He thinks I owe him for what he did earlier. You have no right to tell me about debt. On the other hand, you are an authority on digging through garbage. You wrote the book on getting into debt, but you did make a baby, though raising them isn't exactly your forte. Ha! The instant things got hard you dumped your debts and daughter onto your wife and ran away because you know you can't do anything right! THAT'S THE CLOSEST THING TO RACING YOU'VE EVER DONE!
