Whatcha want?

Whatcha want?

I noticed that the man in the next compartment has the same last name as you. Are you related?

With relations like those, who needs enemies?!

I don't want to meddle, but family is a thing to cherish...

So don't meddle! What's it to you, anyway?

I'm sorry, I guess I'm just jealous.

Of what? Do you too want a successful brother who has spent his whole life making you out to be a loser in the eyes of your parents?

You can take mine, I don't need him.

You just remind me of myself in the past.

How, exactly?

I had a family, and now I have no one.

And I'd pay any price to get them back.

Listen, don't try to get under my skin, Conductor! I'm not going to go and grovel to someone who's treated me like crap my whole life!

I'm sorry, it really is none of my business.

Exactly.

To be honest, I'd take any kind of brother.

You don't know what you're talking about.

I know how it feels when you're all alone.

Oh, don't rub it in! What's your problem, anyway?

I understand. Life is hard enough without having to be around people who don't appreciate you.

Ha! You actually get it, Conductor!

Listen, do you want to earn a little extra?

Depends on what I have to do.

Get a useless piece of paper from my brother.

What kind of paper?

A scrap of an old government bond.

And why do you need it?

That's my business. So what do you say?

Am I supposed to steal it?

You can decide that for yourself, Conductor.

I'll think about it.

I talked to your brother.

Oh? And how many times did he call me good-for-nothing?

I think he understands the value of family, same as I do.

As far as I understand, you have no other family left but each other.

And he genuinely wants you to succeed. He just can't do it for you.

That he can't, for sure... You might be right, Conductor.

Even though you do like to meddle.

I guess we really should talk.

He can't be THAT bad.

You don't know my brother like I do.

He's actually thinking of giving you his share of the inheritance.

Of course he is! He's trying to make himself look better than me even now!

He didn't say it outright, but it seems like he thinks that you are immature and will simply squander the inheritance.

That's it! I can't take it any longer!

I have the second half of your bond.

Ha! Who's the loser now!

Thanks, Conductor. Here, for your trouble.

Yes. Are there any snacks in this cesspit?

Like what?

Oh, I don't know, some fish or canned food. Anything will do.

Will this do as a snack?

That's fine, give it here.
