As the conversation continues, Ryoma keeps circling back to the idea of attempted murder while repeatedly inserting Ramirez into the narrative.
Gradually, Mark stops resisting that part of the framing. His energy shifts, no longer denying Ramirez's involvement, only insisting on his own limited intent.
The more Ryoma presses the attempted murder angle, the more Mark eventually reaches his limit.
Eventually, at one point, he slams both hands onto the table.
BANG!
"How many times do I have to say it! He only told me to injure you! Yes, I had a debt with Ramirez, but it wasn't even that much… less than a hundred thousand dollars. To kill someone overseas just to clear that kind of debt doesn't make sense. If you don't believe me, then why don't you…"
"Ah, yes… why don't we ask Ramirez directly?" Ryoma cuts in. "That's what you meant, right? But we can only proceed based on your testimony."
