without consulting with her husband first; the two argued for some time.

but it seems he has his reasons
to be a member of Mad Gear²...


¹ Rolento. They're taking FFR's story² into account.
² Namely, Rolento was responsible for the death of El Gado's family, so EG infiltrated Mad Gear only to confront him.
