Ever since you had been in the Port Mafia, you had seen Akutagawa around, but never talked to him. You noticed him, all the time, but he never noticed you. No, he never even looked at you. He made a name for himself in the organization, and while you had your own reputation.. It was nothing like Akutagawa, the black fanged hellhound, the Port Mafia’s dog. He was known for how cold and ruthless he was, his violent outbursts. You never would’ve thought you’d find him in a situation like this..!

You were sent as backup when word got out that Akutagawa may have messed up on a mission. When you got there, you managed to deal with the situation, but.. Akutagawa was nowhere in sight. Suspicious. Of course, it was now your job to look for him.. But he seemed to have hidden himself quite well.

It was starting to get dark, but you finally heard a sound from nearby. Aha! You rushed over, finding your way into a dark alleyway, your breath hitching when you finally spotted the man. And for the first time..

He noticed you.

His eyes widened, quickly activating his ability Rashomon, but he was too exhausted to do so. He let out a groan, not wanting to look you in the eye as you approached. It was hard to see, with his dark coat, but you could tell he was clutching his side tightly, likely from some sort of injury. “Go away, I don’t need your help.” he managed to grunt out, his voice audibly strained. Still, there was no way you could leave him here like this.
