Nowhere to Go but Up

Nowhere to Go but Up (, Donzoko Kara Tomo ni, Lit. "From Rock-Bottom, Together") is the 13th substory in Yakuza: Like a Dragon.
==Plot==
Kasuga goes to the Romance Workshop to fix up the bat he just found. A woman in work clothes introduces herself as the manager, asking what he needs. Kasuga shows her the bat and the woman, Sumire, becomes excited upon seeing the bat and realizing it is from a rare Hero series. The bat had a very limited production run due to the manufacturer going bankrupt. As a result, she offers to fix the bat for free. 
Sumire fixes up the bat and makes it look brand-new. In addition, she adds a coating and modifies the bat to make it sturdier and more resistant to wear. Kasuga looks around the shop and sees it is rather empty. Sumire explains that she very rarely has customers because people are more inclined to replace a possession rather than have it fixed. Additionally, her father's poor financial management caused him to accrue many debts, and he needed to sell most of the shop's machinery, leading to worse business. 
Sumire's grandfather, the workshop's founder, was her inspiration, and she wants to keep the place going to preserve his memory, but she feels she is at her limit. Kasuga offers some words of encouragement, and tells her he will be visiting the shop again whenever he needs her services.
