She was in a district of Hiroshima she hadn't been to for a while, one that Voice said was "cared for" by the yakuza—the Japanese mafia. Her image of the yakuza came from movies and TV shows: big men in dark coats who wore sunglasses no matter the time of day, had tattoos, and often a missing finger. She had never seen men like that in Hiroshima and wondered if yakuza existed in this day and age. Maybe they had once, but faded away and were now popular fodder for detective dramas. Voice tried to explain to her that one of the aspects about human nature was you couldn't tell what a person was like from their appearance alone. When violent crimes were committed, friends and family members often said the person in question "didn't seem like the type." "I never expected them to do something like this" and so on.Hina argued that sometimes you could tell something about a person from their appearance: smart people wore glasses, geeks often carried knapsacks everywhere, Shibuya gals wore heavy makeup.
