[Dodger hesitates, but... the touch is nice. He leans into it, and... yeah, he can believe that they're close, with how Eichi seems to know exactly what affection speaks to him best.]

I... worked as a fisherman, back home. Been working there since I was seventeen... couldn't get through an interview with the scars on my face, never liked working indoors anyway, so this old man gave me a job on one of his boats. [He relaxes a bit while he speaks, but there's still a trace of guilt on his face.] I had a girlfriend - Janet - and... we were talking about shit like getting married and having kids. Opening up a flower shop like she always wanted, that sorta thing.
