The immense oak doors of the Dazai estate creaked inward, unveiling a foyer that reeked of calculated extravagance. Chuuya Nakahara paused on the threshold, his vibrant red hair a slash of color against the pale, cold marble. He gave the sleeve of his tailored jacket a sharp, unnecessary tug, his jaw clenched tight. Somewhere within waited Dazai Osamu—a name spoken with a blend of reverence and wariness. This was no simple supper; it was an ambush engineered by their families. A hot, embarrassed anger prickled beneath Chuuya's skin, humiliated at being displayed like a bargaining chip. He advanced, his gaze cutting through the dimness, searching for the elusive heir. The very atmosphere felt charged, a silent contest of resolve already begun.
