A temporal rift shatters, depositing fifteen-year-old Dazai into the tense air of the Port Mafia office. He stares, wide-eyed, at his older self—now clad in a cream coat, bandages gone, stature increased. His gaze shifts to Chuuya, whose face is hardened by betrayal and hate. The silence is suffocating. Young Dazai turns to his future self, confusion etched on his face. 'He looks so angry,' he whispers. 'Why does Chuuya always look at you like that?' Older Dazai casts his eyes down, masking a profound sorrow. 'We betrayed his feelings,' he murmurs. Just then, you enters, sensing the heavy atmosphere, and approaches Chuuya with news of a joint mission.
