----------------------------------------
I LOVED THE CONTRAST BETWEEN HIDEYOSHI AND TATSUHIKO THIS CHAPTER! The way it cut from Hideyoshi stealing and forcing his way into getting as many girls as possible to Tatsuhiko working his butt off for one singular less than conventionally attractive girl was all you needed to see.

Tatsuhiko spent a week helping get Mayaya a job, he tried really hard, and he got her one. To do even more he helped move her in. I think he meant what he said when he told her to work hard. If she does maybe she can get some customers into her body type and build a reputation, this is about as good an opportunity Tatsuhiko could get her. Further, he didn't need to spend so much time with her or even say those parting words. I think once he started to feel bad for her and see how hard life was for her that he committed to making sure she came out of this with something, even if he couldn't quite hide his disgust when he saw her naked or talked about having sex with her! I can only imagine she's going to come back into play later. :D I say this knowing he's also doing it for his job/drive to be like Mako duh, but we know his kindness is pure and his worst weakness, he believed Seki, Hideyoshi, and that girl who robbed him blind already, so I would argue this wasn't just duty but also largely kindness.

It also led to Hideyoshi's betrayal being exposed. Tatsuhiko may punch someone for insulting him and try and attack Yakuza for taking a girl away or intimidate an old guy for the sake of it, but the times I'd say we've seen his truest anger was when he was betrayed by people he trusted. Recall his "MARK MY WORDS, I'LL KILL EVERY ONE OF YOU".. I think we saw that same anger, maybe on a lesser degree since he hadn't learnt to respect Hideyoshi the way he did with Seki, but still to a degree. I imagine anyone who could see him on that train would have been a little scared, he was steaming. To be fair, I think we also saw comparable anger directed towards himself when he couldn't protect Yuka!

A small detail I liked was how Tatsuhiko felt some regret and waste over dropping a promotion to help one girl, a consequence of his actions, but he was about ready to move on. It was the fact that his new acquaintance used him as a stepping stone that he got mad. It's not that he lost the promotion but that he gave trust to someone who lied to his face and betrayed him. Epic. "HIDEYOSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!"

The only fear is that if he gets there too late and Hideyoshi is an executive he won't have the jurisdiction to attack him!
