"Throughout my childhood, I asked myself this question: Why do I listen to someone who tells me to do evil? Is it because I cannot speak for myself?"
       They made no reply.
       "I honestly think that I am not like other criminals; I feel guilt for all my victims..." they stopped—"I actually visit their graves every week. I guess you could call me a good person now...?"
       Their companion coughs and stares at her in disgust. "More like you're haunting them. And, your mother is dead now, aren't you free to do whatever you want? How weak are you—to not be able to make your own life decisions?" They said, almost in mockery.
       They abruptly stopped in their tracks, "I don't know, ask mother. Get lost. I don't need you here." They pouted, utterly offended by his statement.
       "You dragged me with you, (Y/N)"
       "Okay. Wanna grab a snack?"
       "We're not friends."
       "Of course we're not. Why would I be friends with a traitor?" She grinned.
       Akutagawa hops on the ledge and reaches for (Y/N), "you get...this!" (Y/N) hands a lollipop to him.
       "You gave me the orange flavoured one."
       "I knew you hated it."
       He secretly activates his ability and reaches for (Y/N)'s bag, when suddenly, an appendage appears before the bag, "hmph. I'll give you all the strawberry lollipops," she helplessly hands him the candies with a defeated expression.
       "...Eh? What about you?"
       She chuckled, "bold of you to assume I've got no more strawberry lollipops. Take them—I've got a whole case of them at home."
       Akutagawa frowns and slaps her arm.
       "What? You don't want them?"
       He quickly takes the lollipops from her, opens one and places it in his mouth.
       (Y/N) hears voices from afar, "oh, it's Osamu-kun and Chuuya-kun."
       "I better get going then, goodbye."
       "Wait—"
       (Y/N) decides to ignore Dazai and Chuuya; she walks to the opposite way of the hall, observing the different colours reflected by the bright windows.

       She starts feeling weaker and weaker after what seemed like an eternity of walking. She continues to drag her heavy body through the hall when a feeling of something lingers the back of her neck. She stops walking and tilts her head to see what was bothering her but fails when she loses consciousness.
       Luckily, someone catches her before she falls.
       "A tranquillizer? Who would have enough courage to fire this at our new executive?"
       A minute later, (Y/N) regains consciousness again. She realizes she was huddled on someone's chest and quickly apologizes to them.
      "Oh, you're Chuuya-kun's sister, correct? Thank you for protecting me."
      "You're welcome, and no, I'm not Chuuya-kun's sister. He and Dazai-kun call me older sister for some reason. By the way, you got struck by a tranquillizer a moment ago; are you fine?"
      "Ah, I see. Yes, I am aware, I'm fine," (Y/N) smiles.
      "Who would be so brave to throw a dart at you...?"
      "Well, if you're asking in general, Lady Ozaki, my relatives would."
      "Judging by the dart thrown at you—it's the same model of what the Mafia use."
      "Should we take this to Oji-san?"
      She nods and starts walking to the elevator.

       "Could it be a traitor...?" Ozaki Koyo cries.
       "I politely disagree, Lady Ozaki. I say it is too early to say that there is a spy here. What if the suspect used the same model as ours for extra harassment? My relatives are one to do that."
       "Hmm, yes, that's possible," Koyo says.
       "(Y/N) is correct," Mori interposes. "They might use that to deceive us into thinking: there is a traitor within us."
       "Do you think it's them?" (Y/N) asks.
       "Yes, I knew they would attack us one day."
       "Why'd you invite me to the Mafia, then? You expected this to happen."
       Mori sits up and smiles at her, "I love this city. I have to protect it, but I need all your help to do that. Also, Hanabi-kun told me to look after you when I attended her deathbed."
       "Really? You visited mother?"
       "Of course, we were literally like twins."
       "...Anyway, should we call the other executives for an emergency meeting?" (Y/N) interups.
       Mori Ougai tensed up, "no! No, let's keep this confidential from the others. This case will be between the three of us; we'll let Dazai-kun and the others figure this matter out on their own. This matter might cause a misunderstanding in the Mafia."
       "Are you sure? I've never seen you all tensed up with cases." Koyo faces him.
       "This is different—a family matter. Other organizations might be involved with this case."
       "What other organizations?"
       Mori's eyes widen as he tries to lower his guard down, "Nothing, you're father's organization, perhaps?"
       "Ah! I remember something! This case started ten years ago, just before my father passed away. I heard mother say something about my passed down ability. They're probably mad about the fact that I'm here in the Mafia and not with their organization—wait, something seems to be off. The new leader of my father's organization is only my half brother. Why would they like mother's ability if they don't have her blood in them?"
       "Your ability is beneficial. That's why." Ozaki Koyo says.
       "Yes, okay, since things are somewhat settled now...thus I make (Y/F/N) in charge of this case."
       (Y/N)'s expression turns into an unamused look, "that was quite oblivious of you...I can tell something's wrong."
       "Are you sure about that, Ougai?"
       "It may not seem like it, but I'm quite well."
       "By the way (Y/N)-chan, I'd like your partner to work under you for this matter. You could order the executives to do this, that. Any objections?"
       "None. (Y/N)-kun, I'm supporting Ougai. I promise I'll be helping you throughout this case."
       "None; It's not like I have a choice too. This is merely a family matter of mine. You know what's best anyway," (Y/N) rises from her seat and dusts her clothes. "I won't be shocked if there would be a surprise attack on the Mafia later on. If that happens, would the day still go on as it was before?"
       "Yes, if it's possible. If the battlefield we're expecting later would be full of casualties, then no. Like your party."
       "I see. Thank you for your time then, Oji-san," (Y/N) kneels and walks towards the door with Ozaki Koyo.
       Suddenly, the door opens, and a guard shouts, "Boss! Intruders!"
       "It's them." Ougai Mori says, looking at the cars through the window.
       "Lady Ozaki, I'll inform you if there's anything suspicious. I'll guard Boss."
       She nods and gathers her troop to attack.
       She bows to the guards and starts walking, "now, where did they say where my office is...?"

       "Aha! Here it is!" She hurriedly opens the door and gasps, "they literally turned it into a music room."
       She takes out her laptop and observes the surveillance cameras on the top floor.
       A moment later, a person in a kimono with an umbrella appears on the top floor. The umbrella covering the person's face looked vaguely familiar to (Y/N).
       "Damn. I remember I saw an umbrella similar to that."
       The person closes their umbrella and faces the camera.
       (Y/N)'s legs begin to quiver after the person's identity was revealed. Flinching with every single move they make.
       Once they were outside the frame, the cameras, one by one loses service, which made (Y/N) concerned.
       Tears start rolling down her cheek out of stress; she frowns and says, "you weren't part of the plan, brother."

       She sprints through the hallway of the top floor, hiding small cameras and speakers along the way. She comes back to her office, locking the door behind her and walking to her cello.
       "Long time no see, *mon amour." She laughs, "let's eliminate all the intruders, shall we?"

       *(Y/N)'s ability allows her to manipulate a target in view physically and mentally while playing an instrument.*
