BIA Ch. 90
After that, wanting to see him, He attended mass several more times just to see him, but he didn't get to see him as often as he had hoped. It was something he learned later, after he left the orphanage, from the brothers talking amongst themselves: they originally didn't often entrust altar serving to high schoolers. But when Bran served, the offertory increased twofold, and especially the female sponsors reacted well, so they purposely had him serve at major holidays or large-scale masses. Seriously,…-

Day Eleven “This is just a residential area.” Isaiah muttered, looking at the houses lined up along the street. “It is a residential area, so?” Manny said, changing lanes, as if it were obvious. “You came here for Aunt Angelina's funeral.” “……” Isaiah didn't reply. He just stared out the window with a blank face, so Manny apologized on his own. “Ah, sorry. I know, but I keep forgetting.” As Isaiah ignored him and continued to look out the window, the…-

“No matter how you look at it, stealing is way better. Reading and rereading the passage that described my eyes until sunset. Whatever it is, it’s less childish than carving the prayer from there onto your body, right?” Isaiah didn’t answer. He was just trying to put on his pants quickly. But they weren't quite dry yet, and to make matters worse, they were tight-fitting jeans, so it wasn’t as easy as he wanted it to be. He finally managed to get his pants on and was putting on the t-shirt…-

BIA Ch. 87
Bran didn't show any particular reaction. Could it be that he didn't understand what he said? Even knowing that couldn't be the case, Isaiah tried to explain calmly. "I won't kill you. No matter whose order it is, I won't kill you. I decided that before you even came to my house with that champagne." "How?" Bran finally asked. "You said you wouldn't quit WD, so how are you going to refuse an order?" "That's my problem." You don't need to worry about it. Isaiah said sharply. But Bran…-

“There was a time when I used to worry about how to look even more stupid.” The tattoo was a lettering made up of four lines of text, without any other designs. For some reason, it was hard to read at a glance. When he looked closer, he realized the letters were mirrored, reversed left to right. It was just as Isaiah was about to sit up to get a better look at the phrase. “No. That’s not what you wanted to see, is it?” Bran said, grabbing Isaiah’s shoulders and pushing him back down…-

BIA Ch. 38
That day, after the failures of Thomas Dewey and Rudolph Giuliani, the FBI realized one thing: completely eradicating organized crime in the United States was realistically and institutionally impossible. They chose coexistence. However, La Cosa Nostra was excluded. They would no longer tolerate the Italians devastating America. Around this time, alongside New York, Eloy City emerged as a new hotbed of organized crime. Immediately after World War II, the Italian gang there formed the Eloy Five…-

Since That Day The mafia war that erupted on Friday evening at a large church known as a hub for Irish immigrants plunged all of Eloy into terror. With three major mafia organizations involved and casualties numbering over two hundred, the incident was commonly reported by the news as likely becoming an unprecedented gangland killing in American criminal history. In this mafia war involving the three large organizations—Kalisz, Martino, and Barone—the Kalisz family undoubtedly suffered the most…-

BIA Ch. 149
As Samuel left for Liberty Harbor with Kestrel's body, Isaiah went to a hotel first with Mickey. He judged that a crowded place would be safer for now. "How are you feeling?" In the car on the way to the hotel, Mickey kept checking Isaiah's expression. From Mickey's behavior, Isaiah realized that Mickey was the one who had come up with the idea to kill Kestrel and frame him as Lanius. Otherwise, there would be no reason for him to be so mindful of Isaiah's reaction. "Not bad." Isaiah said,…-

“What the!” Isaiah shouted, pinned beneath Mickey’s heavy body. He didn't need to lift his head to know who had been shot. Thud. With a heavy sound, Kestrel had collapsed onto the floor. Blood was gushing uncontrollably from his back. Judging by the location and the amount of blood, the bullet had clearly pierced his heart. “What in the world…” His mind seemed to go blank in the face of the completely unexpected situation. Isaiah didn’t even think to push Mickey off him; he just…-

But contrary to his resolve, the hand gripping the rifle kept trembling. Even though he was certain all calculations were correct and his decision wasn't wrong, it still happened. He had already released the safety, yet strangely, he couldn't calm down. He had held a gun dozens, no, hundreds of times before, but this was the first time it felt like this. The thought that everything—not his own everything, but Bran's—depended on this single shot made it impossible to remain composed. What if he…-
