The Don's niece Kelly arrives to modernize the Family by purging elders who resist her aggressive expansion. At a pivotal meeting, the protagonist rejects her reckless plan, drawing a death glare and a public dismissal. Hours later, his fiancé corners him in a corridor, echoes Kelly's insults, and cites a dangerous offended party as justification for the cut. Unshaken, the protagonist signs the withdrawal papers without protest, revealing he only remained for years because someone begged him to hold the organization together. He posts a single line announcing his departure, and the entire underworld erupts in reaction.
