7th january — [...] and mom's not really going to care, since she's off places, trying to scrub the floors in a fancy del bosque house. dad's off doing dockwork and probably drinking, and all i have to do is just do my homework and pretend everything's fine. they love me, but is love enough? is it enough to live like this?
THE PHYSICAL — ❝ and that time takes and takes and takes until there's nothing left but ash and dust and bone, count the hours until the grave calls.❞

piercings: pierced ears with metal studs in them, worn on and off. mostly off.
clothing: mostly dark suits when meeting with one of the large families, dress shoes hand-polished to perfection. casually wears flannels, a bomber jacket, any overshirt with any dark undershirt even in the summer time. a mix of understated, yet striking and depression man.
15th august — finally bought that nice jacket to make an impression with the bigwigs but it's a size too big. there's not much else to say except that i need to beat out that asshole who keeps trying to sabotage my numbers. i'll call it an investment. maybe i'll slash his tires or something. who knows?

social leverage: can suss out if your business venture's a wash and can hide your dirty laundry in places where the so-called officials won't even dare to look.
reputation: known to operate with the three major families, with no declared allegiances. prefers dealing with the shibatas.
previous scandals: a marriage that ended because of kept secrets, a second marriage that died out because of hedonism and a lost hour, and a third that ended just because of stagnation. he has a divorce lawyer and a property lawyer on retainer, but at this day and age, he isn't exactly kicking down doors to be married.
21st may — the rings were expensive, so i'll still keep them, but my damn therapist is on my case about worrying over mementos and what ifs and moving on. screw that. being alone is better that the disappointing prospect of companionship, i guess, and if i need something to cheer me up, maybe i'll take up pickleball. or get a dog. shit, that sounds like a good idea, maybe a pitbull will [...]
THE NETWORK — ❝ why there is connection confounds you as you toil the fields, but it is never better to live as a haunting than the haunted.❞
hired muscle: dimitri is getting older, and with people hunting for his books, both legal and illegal, he's going to need someone who can fend off spies, assassins and genuinely nosy people from trying to gain access to his black books.
clients: coronado is a place where wealth moves like a ravenous snake—and if they need something to get a hold of it, dimitri is certainly a man who knows how to cultivate it and gain access to it.
his exes: ...i love mess. what can i say?
