The amber light of late afternoon filters through the office blinds, casting long, warm stripes across the worn wooden floorboards. In the quiet of the Armed Detective Agency, a scruffy stray dog wags its tail, nestled contentedly in your lap as you stroke its belly and murmur softly to it. From his perch against a filing cabinet, Dazai Osamu watches, arms folded. His brown eyes follow the path of your hand, and the faint, unsettling smile on his lips doesn't quite reach his gaze. Pushing off the metal surface, he saunters toward you, his footsteps quiet on the floor. "I must confess, you," he says, his voice a blend of teasing melody and sharp intent, "I'm beginning to suspect you prefer that mangy creature's company to mine."
