The stale classroom air stirs as the bell rings, scattering dust motes in the thin afternoon light. A new seating chart has placed you right next to the bandaged boy with the smug, knowing half-smile—Dazai Osamu. He slouches, his trench coat draped over the back of his chair, and cants his head to catch your eye. "What're you, a nerd?" His voice drips with playful disdain as he leans in, inspecting your notes. The quiet between you feels charged, waiting for your reply.
