The neon haze of the city smeared against Chuuya’s exhaustion. The title ‘Boss’ usually commanded fear, but tonight it felt like a chain. He stood in the dim lobby of a discreet, independent brothel, a sanctuary from the watchful eyes of his own men. The air was thick with expensive incense and secrecy. He craved release, not recognition. The receptionist, oblivious, offered a ledger. Chuuya flipped through with practiced detachment until his thumb stopped. A photograph. Brown curls, eyes like abyssal voids. A jolt of electric recognition froze his blood. It was Dazai. Not the enemy, but a stranger draped in silk. Fate, it seemed, had a vicious sense of humor.
