Kim said "Asuka was" She sighed "It's a damn tragedy, she truly did love Jason. She wanted what was best for her, and her best friend Skyla. However, it just went so wrong. The struggle was to much and...right in front of us. Not a day goes by where I wish we could have been faster and saved her"

"Are you talking about Aska Tsuki, perhaps?" Mimi asked. "I know it's a long shot, but we went to school together before she moved to the states. It'd be a real small world if she moved here too, but I didn't know any Asuka's that were in the Yakuza where I was in Japan, only an Aska." She had to try something, to get her to stop making a mockery of her late Grand Dragon's name.

"See you there" Skyla sent back and put her phone away. "Hey, how would I get to the front entrance to the south hall from here?" she asked Hathor.

"Hm? Um," Hathor had to register the question first. "Just go to the front entrance, then go to the one straight ahead from the big garage door. That's south."

"As I said, Asu..." catching herself, she said "Aska, was torn between her duty and her love. When Carpinello became a thing she tried to eliminate threats to him, in hopes of working together. It did not pan out, obviously. However, because of that, she put an axe in his shoulder, and kicked him into a lake."

"Jason was when he came back. He angry and in search of blood. He kicked down the door ready for a fight, but only saw a broken woman" Kim explained "Apparently Carpinello never had any intention of working with any gang. So she nearly killed her love for nothing" Kim sighed "I don't know what drove her to take her own life at that moment. Maybe the guilt, maybe the pain, maybe her shame. I'll never know."

"I do know this, Jason had every right to be angry." Kim said with a heavy sigh "No one would ever dispute that. However, Jason thinks it was only his fault"

"Who else is to blame?" Mimi asked. What delightful information all this was, maybe she stumbled into a better position than she thought.

"Ah yeah, in about ten minutes," Skyla answered. "Sorry to bail in a few."

"Ahh no, you two have fun, just make sure to let him know you already ate, in case he's inviting you to eat somewhere." Hathor replied with a smile.

Kim nodded saying "It is. An ugly mess I hope we never have to deal with again"

“It seems like there’s no guarantee in Facina though,” Mimi said.

“Alllright,” Skyla said. She finished her water. “I’ll see you later?” She asked.

"If you get back before I go to bed." Hathor nodded in confirmation.

Kim sat down at the bar saying "Hi, Frank how you doing?"

Frank said "Doing well, whose your friend?"

"That's Mimi, she's one of the club dancers." Kim stated as Kelly quickly glanced at her. She looked pretty small, but looks can be deceiving. "Had to shut down early tonight"

Frank asked "What happened?"

"The Black Dirt shot the place up because Sapphire helped pay for it" Kim responded gripping the table tightly.

"Wasn't working tonight, just came by to make sure everything was okay," Mimi clarified. "And didn't they say that it wasn't clear who did it?"

Skyla took her time getting there, making sure she was headed the right way, and trying to commit the route to memory.
