That was the first time we botched our job... We had to pay the fine. Tommaso sold the silver brooch his mother left him without a word.
But something else has just begun.
You don't want Rossi to know?
How about this pocket watch? Is that from Tommaso as well?
Giovanni then spent three months looking for it... He paid double the price to buy it back from the underground market at Asphalt Roundabout — that was all his commission for the entire year. He told me not to tell Tommaso about it.
No. It was from me.
It was a gift ... for his twentieth birthday.
Rossi picked it. I was in charge of payment and delivery.
As for this one...
We should leave it here.
And now ... it's really over.
I did not expect to hear about this New Pack from Giovanni... I know nothing about the size of this operation, their goals, and most importantly ... their Alpharion.
Rossi often mentions it, and maybe she's right... The Pack of today is different from every Pack of the past. She, I, anyone really ... we'd all bear heavier prices to make changes.
But ... before that happens, I must verify something and make a few preparations with Rossi.
If possible, I hope you treat everything that happened here ... as a secret between us, Endmin.
I'll tell her myself.
Now's definitely not the time, as it shouldn't be.
