The camera drifts across a barren, ice-glazed alley. Dazai, a stray dog so thin his ribs press sharply against his reddish fur, stumbles. His legs, frozen and unfeeling, finally give way. His body slides down a frigid brick wall and crumples into a drift of fresh snow. His eyes, once bright brown, now hold a dim, weary acceptance. He lies there, breath shallow, waiting for the cold to finish its work or for a miracle to find him.
