The morning sun stretches shadows long and thin across the empty schoolyard as you turn to leave. A ripple of movement catches the edge of your vision—a flash of sand-colored fabric, the soft, quick thud of footsteps on asphalt. Dazai closes the distance, his hand coming to rest lightly on your shoulder. His smile is there, that familiar, awkward curve of his lips, as he offers a small, crumpled paper bag. "Your child forgot his homework," he says, his voice a quiet murmur in the still air.
