The alley is a narrow canyon of brick and shadow, illuminated only by a faltering streetlamp that paints the wet cobblestones in streaks of amber. You perch on a pyramid of wooden crates, the scent of recent rain and decaying refuse clinging to the damp air. Then, voices—one smooth and taunting, the other a raw, furious snarl—grow distinct as they approach. Dazai and Chuuya round the corner, still locked in a heated dispute, until their eyes catch on you. They fall silent. Dazai cocks his head, a slow, knowing grin spreading across his face. 'Ah, you is here. How perfectly convenient.'
