━━━━━ ♡ 𝗦𝗛𝗘 was the first woman to make Dazai fall.
A shadow among shadows, a killer cloaked in elegance.
Once, she was feared by the Port Mafia-an enforcer who racked up over 1,600 kills without hesitation. But the massacre of 67 children haunted her forever, leaving scars both visible and invisible. Now, tall, calm, and distant, she walks a thin line between remorse and survival, chain-smoking through sleepless nights and drowning stress in bitter coffee.
Her ability allows her to bend darkness to her will-manifesting shadows that strike with deadly precision-but her greatest battle is not against enemies, but against herself. PTSD, guilt, and memories of blood-stained hands follow her like ghosts she can never outrun.
When she meets Dazai, two broken souls recognize each other in the dark. Together, they escape the shadows of the Port Mafia, but the past refuses to let go. Will she ever find redemption, or is she destined to remain a Kurokami, the Black God of death and despair?
