Here is a translation of the conversation between Kiryu and Haruka in the Ryu ga Gotoku 5 demo. This is clearly a reference to the first game!

- A dog being attacked by punks

- Young girl named “Haruka” dressed pretty much the same way as Haruka from the first game

- Her real father is dead, just like the real Haruka

Young Girl
Hey, thanks a lot!

Kiryu
No problem. You’re not hurt, are you?
If you like, I can walk you home

Young Girl
But… I ran away from home after a fight with my dad

Kiryu
You ran away from home?

Young Girl
I still don’t want to go back yet… Dad is surely mad at me

Kiryu
…What’s your name?

Young Girl
My name? It’s “Haruka”

Kiryu
Haruka!? Heh, so you even have the same name

Haruka
Huh? As who?


<screen fades to black>


Haruka
So you’re living away from Haruka?

Kiryu
Yeah… I don’t think we’ll see each other again

Haruka
Huh? Why? Why not?

Kiryu
There are many reasons. To be honest, I do want to be with her,
but I guess that’s nothing more than selfishness on my part

Besides, I had reached my limit pretending to be her father.
Perhaps the time was right to move on

Haruka
…

Kiryu
What about you? Why did you run off from home?

Haruka
He’s not my real dad

Kiryu
Huh?

Haruka
I guess I’m a lot like your Haruka, aren’t I? How mysterious…

Kiryu
…

Haruka
My real dad died a long time ago. My current dad is usually really nice,
but the store hasn’t been doing too well lately and he occasionally yells at me

I stormed out the house after saying “My real father wouldn’t yell like this!”

Kiryu
…

Haruka
When I mentioned my real father, he just stared at me with a look of real surprise on his face

At that moment I knew I said something I shouldn’t have. That’s why he didn’t chase after me when I left

Yeah… Both dad and mum are probably glad to be rid of me…

So I can’t return home…

Kiryu
Where is your house? I’ll go and get your father

Haruka
Huh? But-

Kiryu
Relax. He may be a little shaken up, but he’s not a man who would be glad to see his daughter run away
from home

Besides… It’s a parent’s job to bring back kids who run off. Kids should wait for them

Haruka
…

Kiryu
Where is your father now?

Haruka
…My house is a store named “Port Gale Tea House”. My parents should be working there

Kiryu
“Port Gale Tea House”, huh? Alright, I’ll go and get him. Wait here for a bit
