Summary
Eric Tomizawa has been working for the Yamai Syndicate for a while now, walking a tightrope act between trying to remain true to himself and his new life of crime. With the syndicate's boss having taken a special liking to him, he finds himself dragged into plenty of 'business' he'd rather not get involved with, but with his financial dependence on the gang, he doesn't always get a choice.
A 'perfectly normal' meeting in a sauna takes an unexpected turn when Tomizawa passes out due to a heatstroke, and reawakens in a luxurious hotel room. Everyone else has long left, but his boss Yamai wants to personally make sure he's recovering well - and decides to spend the night there with him, whether he wants to or not.
[Note: Takes place before the events of the game. Refers to some background info revealed during Tomizawa's Drink Links.]

Summary
Eric Tomizawa has fucked up. After failing his boss Yamai during an altercation with a rival gang, he feels like the other has been avoiding him. It has been weighing on his mind, especially since they've recently started to act rather unprofessional around each other. Maybe he wouldn't dare to call him his lover just yet, but there was something between them.
They were just really awkward about exploring it.
When Yamai calls him to act as his personal driver, Tomizawa hopes to get on his good side again. But to his surprise, the other already has his own plans to push their relationship even further.

Summary
Several years have passed since crime patriarch Yutaka Yamai has surrendered himself to the police. While his syndicate members have been eagerly awaiting his return, ex-member Eric Tomizawa has been feeling more conflicted about it. As his own actions had directly led to their loss, he couldn't shake a feeling of guilt. Especially considering that he wasn't only a former syndicate member who had ditched his 'family', but also the older man's ex-lover.
Well, 'ex', if you consider shooting a gun at the other a 'break-up'.
And to make matters worse, he still had feelings for him, despite everything.Today is the day of Yamai's release from jail in Japan. Eric doesn't know whether he can patch things up, and whether they should. But after having experienced some personal growth in the meantime, he has sworn to himself (and the other syndicate members) that he'd at least try to make things up to the man he owes so much to.
[Note: Takes place after and during the events of the game (flashbacks).]
