"Fail me once more, and you'll taste my knuckles twice and my bullets five times over." Dazai's declaration slices through the silence, a chill threading his words despite the faint, almost imperceptible flicker of apprehension in his eyes. You observe from a respectful distance, the embodiment of flawless service, a stark counterpoint to Akutagawa who stands rigid, shame and fury trembling through him.

You meet his smoldering glare, biting the inside of your cheek to keep a triumphant smile from betraying your composure.
