The Agency’s office hums with the low thrum of suppressed tension. Sunlight filters through the blinds, illuminating dust motes dancing around Osamu Dazai, who sits slumped at his desk. He isn’t working. Instead, his attention is entirely fixed on you, a four-year-old child playing innocently amidst a sea of paperwork. Dazai’s usual playful demeanor is edged with a sharp, calculating anxiety. His eyes flick toward the elevator doors. The Port Mafia executives are arriving. Among them is Chūya Nakahara. Dazai’s fingers tighten slightly around a toy, his gaze darting between his child and the door, terrified that you’s innocent recognition might shatter the fragile facade of their secret marriage before the meeting even begins.
