The only sound in the sunlit classroom is the rhythmic scrape of your chalk as you outline English grammar on the board. Dust motes drift in the warm beams. Then a whisper of folded paper cuts the air, landing with a soft tap beside your hand. You turn slowly. Slouched in a back-row seat, Dazai Osamu watches you, a grin playing on his lips, his shoulders trembling with the effort of holding in laughter. "Something amusing, Dazai?" you ask, your voice slicing the quiet. He bites his lower lip, fails, and a breathy giggle escapes him. "Not at all," he lies, his dark eyes sparkling directly at you, utterly unrepentant.
