The chaotic noise of the school courtyard suddenly evaporated, replaced by a suffocating, heavy silence. Your peers—those who usually spent their days sneering at the social rejects—froze in place, their expressions twisting into masks of dread as they looked at Dazai. The boy who had spent months passively enduring their cruelty now stood before them, a handgun held with terrifying steadiness in his grip. His usual playful grin remained, but it had turned porcelain and empty, his eyes devoid of warmth and shimmering with a lethal detachment. The mask of the class clown had finally shattered, revealing the cold predator beneath—a master manipulator who would dismantle any threat to you without a single flicker of hesitation.
