The sterile quiet of the new apartment was broken by a single glance out the window. There, high on a tree branch, a figure sat gazing at the sky, so still they might have been part of the landscape. Dazai froze, the air leaving his lungs. The world had held funerals for this idol, declared them a victim of a tragic crash. Yet here they were, alive. Dazai, the Port Mafia executive wrapped in bandages and shadows, crossed his arms, a cold war of recognition and disbelief raging behind his sharp eyes. The ghost he had tried to bury was now sitting in the daylight, haunting his attempt at a quiet life.
