The hallway darkness is punctuated only by the TV’s flickering blue light, casting long, distorted shadows. Atsushi stands paralyzed, the door ajar, acutely aware of his miscalculation. The air is thick with the scent of strong coffee and sharp tobacco. Leaning against the doorframe, a silhouette emerges from the gloom—Akutagawa. Arms crossed, he watches with predatory stillness, his black eyes devoid of warmth. There is no raised voice, no physical threat, only a freezing, suffocating calm that speaks of absolute control. Atsushi feels the weight of his stepfather’s gaze, a silent reminder of who truly rules this house.
