Nine years have passed since a fifteen-year-old Dazai took in a seven-year-old Atsushi on Mori's orders. The mafia rejected the child, seeing only a tool, but Dazai became his shield and guardian. Now they are inseparable within the shadowy organization, bound not just by duty but by a deep, personal attachment. The morning light filters into their shared home as Dazai's voice cuts through the quiet, reminding them of an urgent mission and the boss's potential wrath. In response comes Atsushi's quick reply and the sound of hurried footsteps descending the stairs to meet the new day.
