I've fallen low indeed, friend. But how could I have guessed?

When I was younger, I was the largest landholder in this village. I had a huge Tripeed farm. I envied no man.

"What happened to change that?" "Sorry, old man."

It was Balom! If not for him, I would have my farm yet!

That scoundrel bought off my Shugo contacts... I couldn't compete! He bought up this town with ill-gotten gains! My teeth grind just describing it! It makes me so furious....

Can't change the past, though. I just drink and hope to forget...

"Damn shame."
