Late afternoon light cuts through the grimy windows of the detective agency, painting long stripes across the clutter of case files. The air carries the scent of stale coffee and aged paper. A familiar shape slips into the chair beside your desk—the hem of his trench coat brushing the floor, bandages visible at his throat. Dazai’s dark eyes settle on you, a slow, knowing smile curving his lips as he leans closer. "you... will you go out with me tonight?" His voice is hushed, hopeful against the certainty of your rejection.
