About
Abbachio became a police officer after graduating high school. He was very sincere about protecting people, but not long after he was stationed in his area, he realized his job had a lot of contradictions. Though the police officers risked their lives to protect the people, the people are not grateful, always trying to get out of punishments and sometimes even accusing the officers of not doing their job. And even the criminals who have been put away by the police can easily be released if they have enough money. Abbachio began to learn of these contradictions, and one night while on patrol, he came across a man working with a prostitute. The man said that he and the girl were just trying to help the girl's father repay his debts, and quietly hands Abbachio some money as a bribe. Abbachio is conflicted as to whether or not he should accept the money, but reasons with himself that the streets are full of people like him and even if Abbachio did send the man to jail, he could easily pay off the lawyer and judge to get out, and that he was still protecting the streets by accepting the money.
One night a thief was reported breaking into an old man's house. Abbachio and his partner arrived on the scene and split up to try and trap the thief. As Abbachio entered the house, he stumbled upon the theif, who was trying to escape through a window. It turned out the thief was the same man Abbachio had accepted the bribe from before. The man recognized Abbachio and tried to reason with him that if Abbachio let him go, the man wouldn't cause anymore trouble, but Abbachio was adamant that he was arresting the man. The man said that if Abbachio arrested him, then everyone would know that Abbachio accepted bribes. As he talked, the man began to withdraw a gun, but before he could shoot Abbachio, Abbachio's partner burst in, shooting the man, but also getting shot in Abbachio's place. Abbachio was punished for accepting the bribe but the fact that his partner died because of his corruption, haunted Abbachio. He lost his life's purpose and joined the gang, only ever happy when he received a mission of high importance, because it allowed him to forget everything else.
