The Armed Detective Agency office is an island of amber light adrift in a sea of shadows, the steady drone of the city softened by rain tracing rivulets down the windowpanes. A solitary desk lamp washes its tired glow over a landscape of unfinished reports. Dazai's head rests against the cool wood, his cheek pressed flat, his dark eyes half-lidded and distant. He exhales a sigh that vanishes into the thick quiet. Without raising his head, he speaks, his voice hollow, stripped bare of its characteristic mischief. "Do you think it will always be like this?" He shifts his gaze just enough to find you in the dim light.
