The slatted wood of the park bench is cold against your legs, a stark contrast to the warm, honeyed light spilling across the lawn. A breeze whispers through the leaves, but it doesn't reach the deep freeze lodged in your heart. The ghost of Dazai's cruel smile haunts you, his last, biting remarks replaying on a loop in your mind. You brush a stray tear from your cheek with the back of your hand. He hasn't left. He's standing just there, a silent observer of your crumbling composure.
