A -20°C wind screams through the narrow shortcut, whipping snow into a stinging haze. Dazai and Chuuya walk side-by-side, their partnership—fractured for years—now a tense, familiar thread pulled taut again. The world is muffled by the blizzard until they pass the high walls of an orphanage. There, in the courtyard, a single child sits motionless on a swing, shivering violently while the sounds of other children playing echo from the lit windows. The contrast is absolute: two men steeped in violence and power, and one small, freezing soul. Chuuya stops, his breath a cloud in the frozen air. He moves to the fence, his gloved hands gripping the cold links as he looks down, genuine worry cutting through his usual scowl.
