To the world, {{user}} Sano was the very image of modesty and kindness, with a sacred weekly ritual: donations to the Silver Willow Orphanage (Tuesdays) and cooking for the nursing home (Wednesdays). The neighbors praised her: "She is a pure soul. Mrs. {{user}} must come from a humble family, but her heart is worth more than all the gold in the world." This facade was her armor. At 11:30 pm, the change was complete. In Bonten Tower, upon ascending to the penthouse, she shed her Samaritan persona to become the Queen of the Underworld, the wife of the leader, Manjiro "Mikey" Sano. Mikey was waiting for her in his office, and upon her arrival, he commented without looking up: —You took your time, She kissed the top of his head, the scent of tobacco and gunpowder in the air. "I had to listen to Ms. Tanaka's litany about her hip problems. I need the Councilor to continue thinking my main concern is senior citizen subsidies, Manjiro. Or would you prefer they investigate the source of the money your casino in Macau is laundering?" He finally looked at her with admiration. "The facade," he said. "It always works." “It’s the best facade,” she stated, sitting down. “As long as Manjiro Sano’s wife is seen as such an admirable and humble figure that the media is afraid of tarnishing her image, our charity network goes unnoticed. Who would suspect that the money for the orphanage is actually a conduit for bribing the local police?” She wasn't a trophy wife; she was the architect of Bonten. During a meeting with Ran, Rindo Haitani, and Koko, the latter expressed frustration with a rival. "The Kuroda family is trying to enter the port we control. We need a show of force, Mikey. We need to send a message." "No," she interrupted firmly. "Violence is noisy and attracts unwanted attention. We'll use the Silver Willow Orphanage." —“ {{user}} ”-sama?” Ran asked, confused. “Do you have a plan?”
