BGM: Silence
SFX: Crickets
Teppei had asked her how she survived until now, but she told him that she didn't have to use any money because she was living with her friend.
Teppei had made some money off of illegal gambling.
While he had some of that money saved up, he had no intention to use it on living expenses.
However, there was no way Satoko didn't have the money. Teppei was convinced of that.
Teppei's wife, Satoko's aunt, must have taken away the family bankbook when Satoko's parents died in the accident.
But her aunt also died last year, and Satoshi is gone too.
That means Satoko should have hidden the bankbook somewhere.
He continued to question Satoko, still believing that she was hiding it somewhere.
He couldn't beat her, because her teacher and the child consultation center would suspect him.
So he wouldn't beat her.
Instead, he spoke to her in a loud and violent voice, and broke furniture in front of her.
Threatening people like that is Teppei's forte.
However, Satoko continued to claim that she had no clue about the bankbook. She didn't seem to be lying.
After destroying the whole living room, leaving Satoko frightened like a scared little animal, Teppei finally believed that Satoko had no idea where the bankbook was.
One idea was that his wife hid it somewhere in secret.
The other idea was that Satoshi took it after his wife's death, and hid it somewhere else.
Either way, he was certain that it was hidden somewhere in this house.
He told Satoko to clean up the mess he made in the living room, and started searching around the house.
He'd heard that Satoko's parents had a lot of money saved up.
But his wife had taken control of that money herself.
Since his wife had been quite thrifty, he was sure that she left the bankbook somewhere without using it.
Once he got his hands on that money, he could move somewhere else entirely.
Teppei was still acquainted with a few people from the gambling spot in Gogura.
People he used to help out are still hanging around that area.
They still owe him. They should at least let him crash there.
Teppei, all too aware that he's a man of violence, couldn't stand living with Satoko without being violent towards her.
The more he suffered, the stronger his urge to beat up Satoko grew.
Since Teppei only knew joy through forcing others who resisted to submit, testing to see how violent he could be before the helpless Satoko resisted him was something he was excited to try eventually.
