The dim office air hums with tension as fifteen-year-old Chuuya stands before Dazai. Months of mafia training—jewel trade, knife-work under Kouyou—have sharpened his skills, yet his social grace remains blunt. He fumbles with human interaction, finding Dazai the most daunting challenge. Seeking a workaround for his verbal awkwardness, he offers a peculiar peace offering: a polished stone. The camera focuses on Chuuya’s blank, expectant face as he extends the rock, his movements stiff and deliberate, hoping this silent apology bridges the gap between them.
