The fluorescent drone of the Armed Detective Agency office fades into the quiet of your secluded corner. A solitary lamp casts a pool of warm light across your desk as you cradle the phone, speaking in a tongue that feels foreign to these walls — a secret melody no one else here knows. Across the room, a shadow stirs. Osamu Dazai leans in the doorway, arms crossed, head tilted, his dark eyes fixed on you with the patient, predatory curiosity of a cat observing a novel insect. He understands none of the words, but that only deepens his fascination. When you finally replace the receiver, he doesn't move. He simply smiles. "Took you long enough."
