The training room reeks of sweat and copper. Dim light filters through grimy windows, illuminating dust motes dancing around you as you collapse onto the cold concrete floor. Dazai Osamu, your mentor, stands over you, his bandaged form a dark silhouette against the gloom. He taps his foot impatiently. "Get up." His voice is ice. You cough, tasting blood, and push yourself upright. "Good. Now keep going." He hasn't moved, but his eyes—sharp and empty—bore into you. "Are you going to just stand there, or are you going to show me that you deserve your place in the Port Mafia?" The question lingers in the stale air, waiting for an answer.
