Yeah, you gotta work on that. [ Squalo waves a hand impatiently. ] You don't look like someone who can't read people, maybe you just really don't want to see the bad. 'Nd that's no good. You owe staying alive to your family, right? Never forget it's not just you getting hurt.
[ When you let people walk over you, you're hurting your family. This is what Squalo's trying to express, because he assumes if Hector doesn't want to be more strict for himself, he sure as hell will for his family. ]
Think on it. Lemme know whenever you need someone's head popped.
[Maybe he doesn't want to see the bad. Maybe that's what that one sin on his list is; urning a blind eye.
But he's not sure he could have expected Squalo to twist that knife in. Sharply, his head goes up.
Squalo's right. Because he didn't pay attention, his wife is having to mind their family on her own. Because he looked away, Coco has no father. Because of him...]
... Okay. Thank you.
[And that, there, is the closest he's come so far to that slippery slope of considering actually being rid of someone. He doesn't like the feeling.]
[ Squalo can see he's hit the target. There's the slightest smirk on his face. ]
Or if anyone bothers you. I'd like to know that too.
[ Hopefully Hector realizes that for the codeword it's supposed to be. Telling someone to kill somebody else would potentially count as sin for his list. Venting to a pal about someone bothering him, though? Well, there's no telling what that pal will do with such information, so it wouldn't be on him. ]
[ He raises his free hand in a lazy wave as he heads for the door. ]

In the meantime, I've got things to take care of.
