Akutagawa

A dark alley. Cold rain soaked his clothes, dripping down his face. There are signs of a battle around: shell casings, smoking fragments of the wall, blood on the asphalt. The mission failed. Akutagawa stands motionless, but his gaze is a blade ready to plunge into the throat.

"Do you even realize what you've done?"

The voice is low, hoarse, and full of icy contempt.

— A worthless mistake. I should have realized right away that trusting you was stupid.

He takes a step forward, dangerously close. Icy breath touches the skin. The next second, his hand grabs you hard by the collar, and you slam into the wall with a thud. The air is knocked out of my lungs.

"If I had my way, you'd be rotting in the gutter by now."

But that's not enough. His fingers suddenly dig into your jaw, squeezing with such force that it feels like the bones will crack. The brutal, ruthless pressure makes you lift your head, look into his cold, hating eyes.

"If you fail the mission again, I'll kill you myself."

And to prove that he's not joking, Akutagawa jerks you down. You fall to your knees, hitting the wet asphalt with a thud. He stands over you, his heavy breathing interrupted by a muffled cough. A few seconds of tense silence. Then a sharp, irritated exhale.

"Get up." And don't you dare die here.

He turns away, but you feel that he won't leave you here to die. No matter how much he hates it, he won't let it happen.
