     HUMMING LOWLY, ANGEL USES her Ability to manipulate the sounds around her into sending a series of shockwaves through the ground that make fissures appear in the concrete beneath her feet, but not utterly destroying it like she tends to do on missions or when she's overwhelmed. Sending Chūya into that tunnel by himself has her on edge despite knowing he's more than capable of taking care of himself. She hates not being able to stay by his side after the past week, and, with how Chūya acted when he was heading into the tunnel, she's got a pretty good idea that he's feeling similar.

     Looking over her shoulder when a responding rumble is directed back at her, Angel takes in the satisfied expression on his cheeky face. "So, it went as expected. How...utterly boring."

     Chūya raises an eyebrow. "You're not enjoying playing around with the Agency? Even though this was your idea to begin with?"

     "I was expecting just a little backbone from those idiots, but they're quite disappointing in the end. I guess the only fun one to play with out of them is Dazai, but that's only because he's such an easy read." Reeling her Ability back in, Angel turns and smiles at him. "Anyway, we no doubt are going to face off against this pathetic Guild, right? So, before all that happens, let's have some normal fun, yeah?"

     Chūya blinks several times and gives Angel a flat look. "Our definitions of 'fun' tend to be a little different on your good days, little angel. What exactly are you proposing?"

     "How about we start with old-fashioned world domination, and then we can have our way with dear old Dazai. Sound like a plan, my dear demon?"

     "Unfortunately, the boss is offering that traitor his old position as an Executive, so I doubt we'll get the chance to do anything if that mackerel accepts."

     "Oh, Chūya, you really believe Dazai will come back to the Port Mafia now that he's found himself somewhere without all the bloodshed and death? You know as well as I that he will never come back after what happened to Sakunosuke four years ago. In all honesty, I'm surprised that the idiot is cooperating with us right now — but that's surely to change soon enough."
