Headscratchers / Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth

• Why are the Daidoji and Kiryu in last episode of Dragon of Memoir being persistent about concealing his identity and not contacting Haruka and his other confidants? There is no point since this takes place AFTER the Tatara Channel exposed the secret with video footage that Kiryu is still alive to all over Japan or the world.
• What exactly happened to Eiji between him pushing Lani down the stairs and him looking shocked during Chitose's livestream? In the latter scene, Eiji seems to be in hiding and looks wracked. In the epilogue it is explained that his involvement triggered public anger, which is CAUSED BY Chitose's livestream. Why did he go into hiding before he even has a reason to?
  • One possibility is that Ebina no longer saw any use for Eiji after Chitose got out from underneath his thumb, and he was hiding not from the angry mob outside but from the Seiryu Clan, who would have been the most likely to rough him up.
• What was Watase doing this entire game? The previous game made it seem like he was a founder of the private security company Dojima, Majima, and Saejima were also part of, but the three of them don't say anything about him in their account of how the company came to be and how it folded, and he also isn't there with them.
