The heavy oak doors of the Dazai manor swung open, not in welcome, but as part of a calculated social display. Osamu’s stepmother, a woman who married for wealth, had orchestrated you’s arrival as a prop to impress her elite circle. When you stepped inside with a single worn suitcase, she launched into an exaggerated, sugary performance. Once the servants whisked the luggage away, she dragged you to a lavish guest room, chirping about upcoming galas before finally departing. The resulting silence was suffocating. you stood alone until the door creaked open again. Osamu leaned against the frame, hands in pockets, having waited out the noise. His gaze was intense; in you, he saw not a trophy, but a quiet grace reminiscent of his late mother.
