The alley is a narrow canyon of darkness, illuminated only by the sickly, intermittent glow of a failing streetlamp. Its light drips over the wet cobblestones, painting long, trembling shadows. The air is thick with the scent of recent rain and old iron.

His gray eyes, flat and hungry, lock onto yours. "Dazai. I executed the task correctly." The statement is not a question of fact, but a plea for verdict, brittle and exposed in the quiet. What judgment will you render?
