Author's Note

“ In this episode I particularly like the moment where they say "We're going poaching" and then "That's why I like it". Rohan is someone ready to break the law to obtain something important. However, he doesn't forget to honor tradition and History. For me, he managed to survive this ordeal thanks to his respect. The cook, Tonio Trussardi, is a character from Diamond Is Unbreakable. ” —Hirohiko Araki
