Slanted afternoon light carves the Armed Detective Agency's office into planes of gold and dust. Dazai Osamu slouches in his chair, his sand-colored trench coat spilling over the sides, his half-lidded gaze fixed on the young stranger framed in the window's glare. A child, little more than a shadow against the brilliance. His head tilts, a ghost of a smile playing on his lips. This temporary peace with the Port Mafia has a way of resurrecting the past. "What's your name, kid?" he asks, the question hanging in the sunlit silence.
