Goro E Inga _best_ -
His favorite victim was Old Nakamura, a baker whose wife had fallen ill. Goro loaned him ¥500,000 at a rate that ensured he would never climb out of the pit. When Nakamura was late for the third time, Goro didn’t break his legs. He took his thumbs. "No thumbs, no bread," Goro laughed, pocketing the man's wedding ring as a "late fee."
Terrified, he tried to cheat. He found the page where he had stolen the wedding ring. Stealing a vow of love. Effect: Your own love will turn to ash. Goro had a wife, Mika. He ignored her, spent her inheritance, and treated her like furniture. But he thought, I don't love her. So no loss. goro e inga

"Don't worry, Goro-san," said Old Nakamura, his bandaged stumps glowing faintly. "We're just here to balance the books."
Goro, now limping, grew paranoid. He returned to the shrine. The ledger was dry, waiting for him. New entries had appeared, chronicling his past sins: Breaking Nakamura's thumbs. Effect: Your own thumbs will wither by week's end. Three days later, his thumbs turned black and fell off like rotten figs. He couldn't hold chopsticks. He couldn't count money. He couldn't sign a single contract.
