"I'm sorry! I'm so, so sorry!" Ritsu wailed, flailing his arms frantically. "I apologize to the whole world!"

"Isn't there something we can do to help him?" Tohru asked Shigure, eyes full of concern.

As if in reply, Shigure went to the closet and dug out an old baseball bat. Walking up behind the frenzied monkey, he cracked the bat across his cousin's skull. Ritsu fell to the ground with a heavy thud and a whimper.

Shigure turned to Tohru and pressed the bat in her hands.

"Just give him a little tap if he acts up. Works like a charm"
