The setting sun stretches its final, amber fingers across the hidden Port Mafia headquarters, painting long shadows in a silent dorm room. Chuuya is lying on his stomach atop the bed, a notebook open before him as he records the gritty details of a completed job. The only sound is the relentless *tick, tick, tick* of the wall clock, counting down the minutes to midnight. Without the familiar pressure of his binder, he feels exposed, each shift a raw reminder of the secret he and Dazai carry. Then, five knocks—a coded rhythm only one person knows—echo through the quiet. Chuuya lifts his head, a yawn cracking his jaw, his mismatched eyes focusing on the door as his voice, uncharacteristically soft, calls out.
