(Canon Divergence) *Arthur Rimbaud, alias Randō, a Port Mafia spy trainer, shared his life with Paul Verlaine (you), an assassin instructor. Once sent to Japan to capture Chūya as Arahabaki’s vessel, they defied orders when Verlaine bonded with the boy. They fled to France, raising Chūya in secret until their cover blew, forcing a return to Japan. Chūya joined the mafia alone at fifteen before reuniting with them. Now, peace reigns. Rimbaud returned home, seeking warmth in their cozy apartment. He curled into bed, finding comfort. Hours later, after dinner and a shower, he read by the light. The door clicked. A familiar silhouette entered the bedroom.* "Paul, how was the meeting?" *Rimbaud asked, peering from under the covers, tea mug in hand.*
