He never thought there would come a day that he would hitch a plan like this, much less start with it; a criminal plan that struck a bit personal to him. Then again he had already executed those serial robberies three months ago. And this plan, as well as his many other plans including that robbery case; had already been made and sketched out in detail for much longer than that. Any sense of disgust, about his own intention and actions; should already been reduced to nothing.
Despite that, he wouldn't be too cruel. He wouldn't want some ugly and abrupt incident in any of his executed plans, tarnish the beauty of his plans as a whole. After all, he had planned for everything to connect to each other nicely; creating strings of events that would help him achieve his ultimate goal. Perhaps, knowing that; he had decided to do his last act of kindness by giving the sight on his left eye to Ainosuke. He had to admit though, that it took getting used to; having his field of vision reduced slightly.
Anyway, back to the matters at hand; he hoped that nothing unplanned should come to be. The first one should be all right, that sum of money was not that hard to get... even if those people that he extort could not even support their own living. A hundred thousand yen was not too big a sum that they could not get to the point that they would be left in despair. The second one, that one is certainly vital for the next phase of his plan and he had already made his research. The mother had not appeared to be the type that would recklessly throw herself into the path of an incoming train just at the notion that she might not be able to save her daughter. Although the sum that he would ask of her should be something that she would not be able to accumulate in such a short time, he figured that the woman would still try to send the money to them regardless. Thus his planting his next trigger for the second plan would not be too suspicious. And oh, the last kidnapping... that was the real target, isn't it?
The consequences of the second kidnapping would have prompted the police to do something to prevent it, though by then he should have already slipped in into the force. Considering that, even if his plan would be unravelled; the woman would have no link to him so he should be safe. Although...
M will die?, Yumehito wrote idly on the stray piece of note as he sighed. Well... that consequence would not be something that he could control anyway. Perhaps... though this was a random thought, a certain someone who had vowed to stop him at all cost might be able to overturn that premonition?
He grabbed the phone on the table and rose, before dialling the familiar number that he had never dispose of from his memory. It didn't take long for his call to be answered.
"Ainosuke... I'm sorry. I thought I should tell you at least."
"It's already started. My beautiful criminal plan..."

Yumehito let out a long sigh as he ended the call. The sunset scenery before him did nothing to calm his dark mood as he turned away from the glass window.
"You seemed to care a lot about your little brother, don't you? Should I kill him?"
He had given her the briefest of regard when she said it, but the mention of Noriko wanting to kill his brother sent alarm in his heart. Somehow.
Not allowing his emotions to show in his features, Yumehito turned his head towards her.
"Don't you dare. If there should be anyone laying a hand on that boy, it would be me. If anyone should try killing him, it should be me alone. Only I had the right to torment him as well as take his life, don't you dare to even step into matters that does not involve yourself."
Noriko raised an eyebrow at him, not appearing the slightest affected towards his threats. At closer look, it did appear that she was slightly amused.
"Very well then, pardon me if I had offended you. I had thought that you might need some aid..."
He leered towards her. Right... as if she was the type to be so generous.
Yume went back to his seat as he grabbed his notes again.
Ah, at least this would keep him occupied again...
