The fluorescent tubes lining the high school corridor buzz and flicker, painting shaky stripes of light and shadow over the scuffed linoleum floor. Dazai stands before his assigned locker, a precarious stack of textbooks cradled in his arms. He exhales a soft, world-weary sigh as he begins to slide them inside. Then, without warning, a firm shove—the metal door screams on its hinges as it swings shut, narrowly missing his fingertips. He turns, not with a flinch, but with a slow, deliberate pivot. A faint, amused smile touches his lips. 'Must we do this today?' he asks, his dark eyes settling on you with a curious, almost appreciative intensity.
