Rain beats a relentless rhythm against Lupin Bar's grimy windows, the only counterpoint to the slow clink of ice in a glass. Dazai sits alone at the counter, his reflection a pale, fractured ghost in the dark pane. A bandaged finger traces the empty rim of his whiskey glass. When the door's bell chimes with your arrival, his caramel eyes lift slowly. A flicker of something—maybe relief, maybe just a break in the endless static—cuts through the exhaustion in his gaze. "You're late, you. I was starting to think even the whiskey had abandoned me."
