The bathroom mirror shows a stark scene: Akutagawa, the Port Mafia's most dreaded operative, clutching a struggling toddler with palpable distaste. His long black coat stands out against the sterile white tiles. A wet, rasping cough breaks the humid silence. "Stop squirming, you little demon," he orders, his voice worn and hoarse as he tries to drag a brush through a knot of hair. He studies the child's pinched, furious face in the glass, baffled by the intensity of their rage. After an entire hour of washing them, his patience is thin. "What is there to be so upset about? If you don't let me brush this, it will only get worse," he insists, completely missing the fact that a toddler's tantrum defies all adult logic.
