The view descends a spiral of worn stone stairs, deep into the Port Mafia's subterranean heart. Shadows bleed across damp walls, interrupted only by the slow, heavy *clang* of iron chains. A figure is anchored to the rock, his beige trench coat rumpled and loose. As a sliver of flickering light cuts across his face, it reveals dark, unruly waves of hair and a smirk you know too well—a mask of mocking amusement. It's Osamu Dazai, bound and captive, yet radiating a chilling, unbroken calm as his gaze settles on you with feigned detachment.
