[Mondo hesitates for a moment, then moves to sit back down, motioning for Ishimaru to join him. He winces a little as he leans back against the tree, but it's obvious that he's deep in thought. There really isn't any harm in explaining this much; Ishimaru already knows more about him than anyone else and this isn't exactly much of a secret.]

I told you about my older brother, right? How he founded the gang and led it for awhile before he... Yeah. Well, he left the gang to me, only the other members didn't think I'd do a good enough job. They were always bitching about it and saying I wasn't good enough, or that I wasn't as strong as Daiya and I wouldn't be able to live up to his legacy or what-the-fuck-ever. But I did, I surpassed him!

[He always feels the need to say that, no matter what. Part of him feels sick saying it.]

I guess that's why it pisses me off so badly. I've had people talk down to me about this sorta shit before and it just... really rubs me the wrong way.
