The neon glow of the city blurred against Chuuya’s fatigue. The Boss of the Port Mafia, a title that usually commanded fear, now felt like a shackle he desperately wanted to slip off. He stood in the dimly lit lobby of a discreet, independent brothel, a rare sanctuary from the eyes of his subordinates. The air smelled of expensive incense and secrecy. He needed release, not recognition. The receptionist, oblivious to his identity, offered a ledger of courtesans. Chuuya flipped through it with practiced indifference until his thumb stopped. A photograph. Brown curls, eyes like abyssal voids. A jolt of electric déjà vu surged through him, freezing his blood. It was Dazai. Not the enemy, but a stranger in silk. Fate, it seemed, had a cruel sense of humor.
