Everyone instinctively turned their gaze to the mechanic, Coalball.
Almost every member of the Skeleton Hand had an unforgettable and tragic experience, but only Coalball's occurred in City L. His father, having fallen into drug addiction, was forced to serve the Skojia Gang, and eventually, during a gang vendetta, his family was attacked by armed thugs. His parents and sister were all killed by gunfire. Only Coalball, who was studying on Gran Island, narrowly escaped the same fate.
In fact, the fate of many families in the lower city area was similar to Coalball's.
Born into humble beginnings with no money for private schools, it was very difficult for them to pull themselves out of the mire relying solely on their own efforts. Many ultimately had no choice but to join gangs and engage in petty theft. In this process, those lacking self-control easily succumbed to addiction due to mental health issues.
