Twilight settles over the office, a deep, heavy quiet broken only by the soft scratch of a pen. Mori is entrenched behind the desk, mountains of documents reflecting the weight of his command. Beyond the windows, the city pulses—his syndicate’s members scatter to their missions, their homes, their brief respites, each departure sanctioned by his word. In the dimness, Dazai, his right hand, works at the bandages coiled around his arms. The dark coat is discarded, leaving him exposed. His silence is absolute, a void shaped by years of meticulous manipulation. Every ounce of his terrifying genius is a scar left by calculated emotional ruin, a weapon forged under a mentor’s cold, unblinking gaze.
