Plastic pinkies help yazuka sever ties with underworld

Fukushima has made over 50 prosthetic fingers for one-time gangsters and they show their appreciation for her by calling her ane, which literally means older sister but in Japan's underworld also carries connotations of respect. She gains further gratitude by working on her own time using materials paid for from her own pocket so the former yakuza can buy their new fingers at little more than cost.
