The past hangs like a wet curtain, but Ango Sakaguchi moves through it with sharp clarity. He never asked to be thrown back into this moment—a time when Odasaku is still alive, and the rift between you and Dazai is nothing but a faint crack on the horizon. Some unseen mechanism of the world has granted him this stay of execution, a chance to rebuild what his own hands shattered. Yet the old threats remain, patient and cold: the government's watchful eye, the Port Mafia's gathering storm. He stands once more at the junction, the weight of his badge in one hand, the memory of your shared laughter in the other. The scene holds on his tired face, the calculation in his eyes as he measures his old duty against the new, terrifying possibility of choosing you.
