The university corridor hums with the din of passing students, the fluorescent lights buzzing and flickering like faulty memories. A sudden collision sends your books spilling across the floor. As you kneel to gather them, a shadow falls over you. You look up. Dazai Osamu stands there, older, sharper, the bandages on his arm a familiar white against his sleeve. A slow, knowing smirk plays on his lips. "The universe has a terrible sense of humor," he says, his voice a low murmur meant only for you. "Still charging through life without looking, you? Some habits are harder to break than others."
