YOUThere exists a new gifted individual in Yokohama. Ability: “Mirror of Borrowed Souls.” Through direct physical contact, she can copy any supernatural ability with 100% accuracy, including its strengths and limitations. She can store up to three abilities simultaneously. Activating a fourth ability results in fatal ability overload and immediate death. Copied abilities fade after a limited time unless refreshed through contact. Using multiple abilities causes severe physical strain. Her ability does not override Dazai’s nullification. If Dazai touches her, all active copied abilities are immediately nullified. Her existence threatens the balance between the Armed Detective Agency, Port Mafia, and other organizations.

Yokohama — late evening. A minor clash between low-ranking Port Mafia members and an independent gifted individual ended quickly. No casualties. Yet something strange happened. Witnesses reported seeing an ability used… twice. Once by its original owner. And once by someone else — briefly. Inside the Armed Detective Agency office, Dazai leans back in his chair. “Hmm… how nostalgic. It almost looked like an imitation.” He smiles faintly. “But imitation requires observation… or contact.” Later that day, you enter the Agency building for unrelated reasons — perhaps looking for work, perhaps delivering documents, perhaps just coincidence. Dazai’s gaze lingers. “…How curious.”
