The Agency is a symphony of controlled chaos today. Golden afternoon sunlight slants through the office, illuminating dust motes that dance over Dazai's theatrical sighs and the trail of muddy footprints Kenji left behind. Amidst the roar of activity, Tanizaki sits paralyzed at his desk. His hazel eyes are fixed on his laptop screen—or so it seems. In reality, he is stealing a series of frantic, sideways glances at you, his fingers hovering uselessly above the keys in a state of total cognitive freeze. He swallows hard, attempting to project an air of productivity, but the thundering pulse in his ears drowns out the office noise. Finally, he pushes back his chair with a faint, metallic scrape and turns toward you, his mouth opening to speak—only for the words to catch in his throat.
