    "The eyes are the window to the soul" was a popular saying but what did it say about someone's soul when their eyes were always unsettlingly glossy, the white part of the eyes appearing grey-ish?

    The teenager with a corpse's eyes—Yokaze Mori.

    Their name was Yokaze, however nobody except Mori ever called them that. Instead, they got called Elyria—which was more of a nickname they got when they were young and it stuck, however some people genuinely thought that Elyria was their actual name. Elyria were a member of the Port Mafia but also the leader's child. They were biological— the mother was unknown, though she was most likely forgin because Elyria had some forgin features. Other than that, they looked like a young carbon copy of Mori but nonbinary. Officially, they were an assassin, however Mori seemed to be preparing them to be the heir of the Port Mafia, which meant that they had to deal with a lot more.

    Mori was Elyria's father, abusor and boss. It was an unfortunate combination. Despite being his child, Mori was no less harsh with Elyria than he was with anyone else during training, however they could definitely get away with slightly more. He had wanted a child so badly and when he got one, he started grooming them and slowly coaxed them into joining his organization. Perhaps he did love them in some dark way.

    Elyria's ability was named Broken Bonds. It allowed their blood cells to mix with inanimate object's molecules, granting them control over the objects. They needed to cover the object in a significant amount of blood if they wanted to have comple control over it, which caused them to need to use a lot of blood if they wanted to control a big object. The problem was that a side effect of their ability was compromised clotting, which had the potential to be fatal. Thankfully, medicine could somewhat help. They were very creative with how they used their ability and could always somehow think of the most effective and unpredictable ways to use it while still keeping blood loss to a minimum.

    Elyria was very gender ambiguous to most people because they looked kind of masculine but were doing masculinity 'wrong' and looked kind of femminite but were doing femminity 'wrong'. Thus, people tended to radiate towards using they/them pronouns and avoid asking them about their gender, which was what Elyria wanted.

    Elyria's trauma response was depersonalization, which made them incredibly hard to read—they often spoke in a very monotone, neutral tone of voice and didn't make a lot of expressions.

    They were as high-functioning as they got, so it wasn't obvious to the people around them that they had that condition. They did feel, however they felt like their body was separated from their mind, and it often just didn't show their feelings the way it should. It was just too relaxed all the time—even in the most stressful situations, their body did not show a sign of any tension. But Elyria also didn't understand their emotions, so they weren't able to put it into words. They spoke normally, however they were very non-verbal with the small ways they expressed themselves.

    Elyria went to school— they had a few friends there but were not really close to them. The teenager's grades were very good and they were almost at the top of their class but they didn't really get any sense of accomplishment from it. It just felt superficial. They also played the piano, as Mori had made them go to piano lessons ever since they were little but they didn't enjoy it that much.

    Dazai was a tall-ish and scrawny seventeen year old. He had short, messy brown hair and big, pitch black eyes. He wore a dark overcoat over a suit and pants, with bandages wrapped around his arms and neck. He had joined the Mafia the same year Elyria did— they were the same age and were both being trained by Mori, so they naturally became friends by trauma bonding. Both benefitted from hanging around the other and enjoyed it. They didn't treat him like the Demon Prodigy, so he didn't have to act like that with them.
