You got a deal there, then. Besides, I would yell at my dad if he actually murdered you...cause you know what? You're actually a good kid, Josuke. I'd probably be willing to help you out with whatever you need, ya know? So, if you ever have any girl troubles, come talk to me, and I'll be able to sort some things out.
