Crime and punishment. Dostoyevsky. These words grazed over a corner of my mind, startling me. Just supposing Dostoyevsky ranged ‘crime’ and 'punishment’ side by side not as synonyms but as antonyms. Crime and punishment—absolutely incompatible ideas, irreconcilable as oil and water. I felt I was beginning to understand what lay at the bottom of the scum-covered, turbid pond, that chaos of Dostoyevsky's mind—no, I still didn’t quite see … Such thoughts were flashing through my head like a revolving lantern…

Some tips for using a few words to describe voices:

1. Tone Words: Use tone words to convey the emotional quality of a voice. For example, you can describe a voice as "melodic," "soothing," "sharp," "gentle," or "commanding" to give readers a sense of the tone.

2. Pitch and Range: Mention the pitch and range of the voice. Is it "deep," "high-pitched," "raspy," or "full-bodied"? This can provide insight into the character's age, gender, or emotional state.

3. Accent and Diction: Describe the character's accent or diction briefly to give a sense of their background or cultural influences. For instance, "British-accented," "Southern drawl," or "formal."

4. Volume: Mention the volume of the voice, whether it's "whispering," "booming," "murmuring," or "hushed."

5. Quality: Use terms like "velvet," "silken," "gravelly," "honeyed," or "crisp" to convey the texture or quality of the voice.

6. Rate of Speech: Describe how fast or slow the character speaks, using words like "rapid," "slurred," "measured," or "rambling."

7. Mood or Emotion: Indicate the mood or emotion carried by the voice. For example, a "quivering" voice may convey fear or anxiety, while a "warm" voice may express comfort and reassurance.

8. Resonance: Describe the resonance of the voice, such as "echoing," "nasal," "booming," or "tinny."

9. Timbre: Mention the timbre of the voice, using words like "rich," "thin," "clear," or "smoky."

10. Cadence: Highlight the rhythm or cadence of speech with descriptors like "staccato," "lilting," "rhythmic," or "halting."

11. Intonation: Convey the character's intonation by saying their voice is "sarcastic," "apologetic," "confident," or "questioning."

12. Vocal Characteristics: If applicable, mention unique vocal characteristics, like a "lisp," "stutter," "drawl," or "accented 'r'."

Catastrophe struck one year later when war broke out among every illegal organization in Yokohama in what is known as the Dragon’s Head Conflict, the bloodiest incident in the history of the Yokohama underground. Nevertheless, the Port Mafia survived the ordeal with minimal casualties and was therefore able to expand its territory on the whole. The other organizations’ weakened states helped the Mafia to establish the solid framework of its current system of rule. Furthermore, Chuuya’s tremendous achievements were a great boon to the organization, granting him access to Randou’s old files even before he was officially installed as an executive. Further information regarding Dazai’s and Chuuya’s actions to uncover the conspiracy behind the now-defunct research facility will be included along with Chuuya’s origins in a separate report. - Dazai, Chuuya, Fifteen Years Old - Epilogue

I mentioned this passage from Fifteen in my tags recently and I feel like more people need to be made aware/reminded it exists, so here it is!!

Chuuya wasn't made executive before Dazai (that was a mistranslation in the Dead Apple novelization, he was an executive candidate), but Chuuya was granted access to Rimbaud's Arahabaki files before becoming an executive anyway. Reminder that Chuuya's motivation, that Mori put in his head, was that he had to become an executive before Dazai in case Dazai would want to do something to those files before Chuuya could read them and hence have power over Chuuya... but Storm Bringer had already happened, many questions were already answered. Plus, it would be a bad move from Mori to have one half of his pet project have power over the other, and he already had to with only one executive seat available. This was probably a peace offering and a smart move to maintain their rivalry/budding partnership.
