Imagine A Twenty-something Jin, At The Height Of His Power As An Infamous Criminal (pre-clone Fight Obv),

Imagine a twenty-something Jin, at the height of his power as an infamous criminal (pre-clone fight obv), encountering extremely reluctant preteen thief Keigo (never scouted by the commission) who’s been burdened with the responsibility of supporting himself and his mom.

Maybe at first Jin thinks taking the kid under his wing is a good way to pawn off work on someone other than his increasingly-belligerent clones, but then he (they) get(s) fond, and somehow within a few years he finds himself sponsoring Keigo’s fledgling vigilante career.

It’s sort of a Robin Hood situation but not: Jin steals from the rich to give to his new pseudo-family, but this enables Keigo to do (unlicensed) rescue heroics, so… net positive in terms of morality?? That’s what he’s going with anyway.
