I had to quit the league 'cause of...an injury. Moved on to somethin' else after that, but I still play. I coach for some of the neighborhood kids in my spare time, back home.
Didn't really work out for me either. There was a huge mess, I was accused of being in on illegal gambling...and, well...before they figured out I'd been slipped a drug, the guys really behind the whole thing decided they had to shut me up.
God's will, huh? Used to believe in all that growin' up, but not so much anymore. So it's like a weapon, then.
Money. My team losin' the match got them a nice purse, and hell if they care about what happens to one guy in the process.
...I'm not sure about the brat thing. I drove Sister Amamiya nuts, I swear. One time, I talked one of the other kids livin' at the church into dropping buckets of cockroaches into the sanctuary during Mass...we said it was 'cause the building was so old, there were roaches everywhere. ...don't ask where a couple of seven year olds got buckets of roaches from.
Yeah, I swore I wouldn't let anythin' like that happen to someone else if I could do somethin' about it. An' I might not be able to go back, but I can make sure that some other kid gets the chance. And it helps me make up for all the playin' that I missed while I was in the hospital.
...huh. I can't even remember what my dad did for a living. I probably didn't play too many jokes on him, though.
Yeah, we should! I mean, getting everyone out and home or whatever--at least takin' care of the Malnosso--is important, but...havin' fun is too.
Ah, my old man...didn't have much to do with me after Mom died. But if he wouldn't've done what he did, I probably wouldn't've been able to get as good at soccer as I did, so...everythin's a tradeoff.

...Dunno about that. My life wasn't a waste...isn't...but I'm sure I wasn't the only person who could do what I'm doing now.
