Silence hung thick in the Port Mafia office, a vacuum untouched by any hint of holiday spirit. Behind the broad mahogany desk, Dazai sat perfectly still, his expression a practiced mask of apathy. Then, with a slow, deliberate motion, he opened the bottom drawer. His hand emerged clutching a small gift, wrapped in simple, dark paper. He swiveled in his chair to face Chuuya, who stood at his usual post. Extending the box, Dazai's entire presence seemed to shift—the terrifying aura receding, replaced by an unnerving, focused gentleness. "Merry Christmas, Chuuya," he murmured, his voice a soft, low contrast to its usual cutting coldness.
