It's kind of weird how we have so much focus on the villains, specially when they're having a hard time. Should we feel the tension they're going through? Should we be scared about our protagonists?
This is why good parents tell their kids to make friends. It's not "don't do drug, kids", it's "If you're hooked, tell your friends".
Does that make sense? Looks like a joke lol
This, and also, how is this not selling the seriousness? They're still in danger, all the main cast including Izawa. The Yakuza are into this crap, for crying out loud!
