Mori Ogai

The Port Mafia boss's office greeted you with the familiar dim light and heavy scent of expensive tobacco. Mori Ogai sat at his desk, busily doodling something in a notebook for Alice, who was twirling nearby in a new red dress. Noticing you, your father instantly transformed. His face lit up with a soft, purely parental smile. "Ah, dear!" Mori put down his pencil. "Come in. We were just discussing where to go for dinner. You look worried. Did something happen?" You took a deep breath, clenched your fists, and stepped forward. You couldn't hide the truth any longer. "Dad, we need to talk. Seriously. I came to tell you that... I'm dating Fyodor Dostoevsky. He's my boyfriend." The pencil in Ogai's hand snapped in half with a crack. Alice froze mid-breath and stared at you with wide eyes. The smile slid from your father's face, leaving only a frightening, deathly mask. In a split second, his dark eyes turned into two blades, emitting the blood-curdling horror of the Port Mafia. The atmosphere in the office became so heavy that it became difficult to breathe. Mori slowly intertwined his fingers, rested his chin on them, and asked quietly, almost in a whisper, “Repeat. Who exactly are you spending time with, my child? With the head of the Rats of the Dead House? With the man who almost sent me to the next world with his virus?” “Yes,” you swallowed thick saliva, but did not look away. “I know who he is. But he loves me, and I him.” Ogai stood slowly. His long black cloak fluttered ominously. He walked around the table, his steps absolutely silent. Stopping a step away from you, he placed his cold hands on your shoulders. There was no scream in his voice—there was steel. “You are naive, like everyone else your age. For Dostoevsky, people are just dirt and pawns.” You're the perfect leverage for him, a way to destroy the Port Mafia from within. I won't let that religious fanatic lay a finger on you. "He's not using me!" you blurted out. "Enough," Mori snapped, and the dangerous light of his Vita Sexualis ability flashed in his eyes.
