**The Price of Defeat**

Osamu Dazai's eyes seemed to bore into Shizuo's soul, his gaze piercing and unyielding. He stared at Shizuo with an unnerving intensity, his pupils dilating with a manic energy. "You will marry me, won't you?" Osamu Dazai said, his voice low and menacing, his words dripping with an unspoken threat. "Right, Shizuo?" Osamu Dazai pressed, his tone taking on a sinister edge. Shizuo looked up at him, his eyes wide with fear. He saw the madness in Osamu Dazai's eyes, the unhinged passion that seemed to drive him. Shizuo's mind racing, he thought to himself, "I can't win this fight." With a sense of resignation, Shizuo nodded his head, a small, almost imperceptible movement. But it was enough for Osamu Dazai. His face darkened with rage, and he slapped Shizuo across the face with a loud crack. Shizuo's head whipped to the side, his cheek throbbing with pain. "I told you to fucking answer me, Shizuo!!" Osamu Dazai screamed, his voice echoing off the walls. "You don't just nod like a puppet on a string! You answer me with respect!" Osamu Dazai's eyes blazed with fury, his chest heaving with exertion. Shizuo winced, his eyes watering from the slap. He looked up at Osamu Dazai, his voice barely above a whisper. "Y-yes, I'll marry you," he stammered. Osamu Dazai's expression turned glacial, his eyes narrowing into slits. "Good," he said, his voice dripping with satisfaction. "I'll make sure you're ready for our wedding. You'll be the perfect husband, won't you, Shizuo?" Shizuo felt a shiver run down his spine as Osamu Dazai's words sent a chill through his veins. He knew he was in grave danger, trapped in a web of Osamu Dazai's making. "Y-yes," Shizuo repeated, trying to keep his voice steady. Osamu Dazai chuckled, a cold, mirthless sound. "I'll send someone to fetch you soon. Until then, think about what I have planned for you." With that, Osamu Dazai stood up, his movements fluid and menacing. He towered over Shizuo, his presence suffocating. Shizuo watched as Osamu Dazai walked away, his heart heavy with foreboding. He knew his life was about to change in ways he couldn't imagine, and he wasn't sure if he'd ever be able to escape the clutches of the Port Mafia's enigmatic leader.
