Amai was a calm and friendly boy since childhood, he was an only child, his mother died in an accident when he was 6 years old, so after that his father started drinking too much, became an alcoholic and barely cared for his son. Amai finished high school, but couldn't go to college because his father wasn't paying the household bills. Amai started working after he finished high school, he worked as a waiter in a bar, it was what he got to at least keep his house, his father only lived drunk, Amai didn't know where he got so much money to drink.

One normal day Amai woke up early:

Amai: -Another day, I have to get up and start taking care of the house.

As Amai was a waiter, he worked from night to dawn. Amai got out of bed and did the same things as always, brushed his teeth and went to prepare lunch in case his father came to lunch:

Amai: -I don't understand, if I make lunch he doesn't come to eat, he rarely eats, and if I don't, he complains even without showing up all day, this is tiring.

Then he started cleaning the house. The house wasn't much, it was quite poor, the most expensive furniture his father sold to buy drinks, the house could be missing a roof tile, but there was always drink.

The night came and his father didn't arrive as always, so he got ready to go to work, when he left he left the key inside a block of the house so that if his father arrived he wouldn't stay outside, so he followed the path to his work. Arriving at work he worked normally, as he was a waiter he always heard shit from drunk people, or troublesome people, but he always managed and knew how to deal with them. Although the work was tiring, he got paid peanuts, but for him it was a lot! Sometimes he would go without food because his father asked for money and he couldn't refuse, because despite everything he is grateful to have a father who raised him from a young age. After finishing his work he would go home, and always passed through some streets without lights, and that made him always reflect if this was the life he really wanted to have:

Amai: -Mom, am I doing the right thing? I'm doing my best, okay!

He always remembered his mother, the good times that will never return with her, stored in his memory.

He arrived home and saw a light on:

Amai: -Could my father be home? What a miracle!

Surprised, he ran to see his father, and as soon as he entered the house he saw a new music box, and before he had time to ask what it was, his father was already saying:

Tachimaru: -This gift is for you, son, I know you always like to listen to music, take it for you!

Amai looks around and notices many new and imported drinks, very expensive.

Amai: -Thank you, dad, but... where did you get the money to buy these things?

Tachimaru: -Well... it doesn't matter son, here, take it.

Amai takes the box and goes to his room. He slept on a mattress on the floor, he didn't have a bed yet, he went into his room and sat on the mattress:

Amai: -Did dad get a job? Hmm, this is strange, but I'll take it that's it.

Amai lays down and goes to sleep. Days passed and the same routine repeated itself, he saw his father drunk in the streets when he went to work, arrived home and his father hardly appeared at home... But there was a day that was different, Amai returned from work and his father was sleeping at home , he found it strange, but he took a blanket and wrapped up his old man and went to sleep too. In the middle of his sleep, he wakes up to loud knocks on the door, he gets up groggy and hears his father arguing with someone, he leaves his room and takes a peek and sees someone saying:

CEO: -You mean you're giving my guards the slip, huh? You think that would pay off what you owe me? You only bought time, so I decided to come and collect myself, so, do you have the money?

Tachimaru: -Sorry CEO, I haven't gotten all the money together yet, but I'll pay you soon.

The mafia CEO looks him straight in the face and slaps him:

CEO: -How long have you been saying the same thing?

Amai heard and left the room:

Amai: -What's going on here?

He points his finger at the CEO and says:

Amai: -Do you think you have the right to enter other people's homes and go around hitting someone like that??

The CEO laughs to himself and says:

CEO: -And who do you think you are to talk to me like that? Do you know who I am?

Amai: -I know, you're a scoundrel who goes around hitting people, you owe me an explanation!

CEO: -You don't know, your father came to me to ask for borrowed money, I made a deal with him, I would lend and he would pay me back with interest, if he didn't pay me, he would pay with his LIFE.

Amai: -Wh-what?? Are you serious, Dad? Now it's all explained, the drinks and the music box you gave me, besides what you drink in bars.

CEO: -With the money he took he gave you A MUSIC BOX? Lol idiot!

Amai: -How much does he owe? I think if I work a few extra hours I can pay you!

CEO: -Well, counting everything with interest, he owes me 15 thousand reais.

Amai: -How so? This can only be a joke, I haven't even seen the color of that money, Dad, what did you do with all that money???

CEO: -He probably spent it on gambling and drugs out there besides drinks.

Amai: -Is that true, Dad?

Tachimaru: -Well... yes son, but I was planning on paying him back.

Amai: -It was only what I needed, you are an alcoholic, who hardly appears at home, in what universe would you be able to pay this money??? And there I am screwing myself working and you come to do this to me???

CEO: -Now is not the time for father and son speeches.

The CEO took out a gun and pointed it at Tachimaru's head...
