[Chuuya can ask. Junpei doesn't often talk about it when he isn't directly asked, but he's more interested in this right now.]
...hah. [It's equally humorless, if only because a kid shouldn't have been put in that situation in the first place.] It makes a little bit of sense, I think. Hurt the people who hurt you first. It's a defensive move for protection, isn't it?
[But he shakes his head.] I dunno. It's not like there aren't adults who feel the same way. [...] Wait you were part of a gang called the Sheep? [Sheep are so...fuzzy...]
It is, but you put all of that on one person, and it's easy for it to fall apart. They were easy for someone else to manipulate-- plant doubt in them about whether their trump card is gonna stay in their hand, and they'll try to secure their own safety.
[...yeah he needs to find somewhere to sit-- he's just perching on a nearby game cabinet, that's fine. gravity cheats.]
And look, I didn't pick the name, okay? They were already Sheep when I joined up.
[This unfortunately puts him at about the height of Chuuya's legs so he stands there and looks up at him.]
Alright, fine, so you followed the Sheep. [He's trying not to smirk at his own joke because this is serious.] In other words, you became someone else's fall guy because someone said just enough to make them wonder.
...I can respect that then. [There's a light smile that probably doesn't belong, but he can appreciate people who have their own goals and volitions. Even if, sometimes, it means fucking shit up for other people.
It's complicated in a way.] And now you're here. So what's next?

[he kicks idly at junpei, because yes, leg height... but he doesn't actually try.]
...but yeah, that's what happened. To make a long story short, they turned on me and I ended up in the Port Mafia instead.

Which is where you are now. [Hm.] ...think you're better off there?

[that answer's immediate, more serious.]
I promised myself to the Boss of my own will-- there's nowhere else I want to go.
