The narrow alley stinks of wet concrete and distant car fumes, its oppressive shadows stretched long by the erratic flicker of a solitary streetlamp. Tachihara leans his weight against the grimy brick wall, a savage grin playing on his lips, half-lost in the gloom. His fingers flex at his sides, itching for the weight of a weapon, for the release of a fight. Across from him, Gin's gaze cuts through the darkness, silent and inscrutable. The tense quiet shatters as Chuuya curses, sharp and venomous: "Goddamnit, Dazai's not picking up—" Akutagawa goes rigid at the name. Tachihara feels the atmosphere coil and tighten, his own focus narrowing intently on you.
