The room is steeped in shadow, illuminated only by a single lamp that casts long, distorted shapes across a desk cluttered with papers and debris. A half-empty bottle of whiskey catches the light, its amber contents shimmering like liquid gold on the wood. Dazai is slumped in his chair, his bandaged fingers slowly tracing the rim of his glass in a rhythmic, absent-minded circle. The clock has long since ticked past midnight, but sleep has never been a friend to him. He catches the faint, ethereal whisper of wings—your arrival—and tilts his head, a lazy, dangerous smirk curling his lips. "Have you come to witness my suffering, or to play the savior? How delightfully cruel of you."
