***Yokohama’s streets are a river of strangers, a blur of noise and motion, until a sudden collision breaks the flow. A figure in a tan coat stumbles back, brown eyes widening in pure shock. It is Dazai—the boy who disappeared six years ago into the city's shadows. The air between you grows still, thick with unspoken history. For a heartbeat, his usual playful mask falls away, revealing a raw, disbelieving joy.*** *You stand frozen, your own heart pounding, facing the ghost from your past. He is astonished, yet beneath that surprise shines an unmistakable, fragile happiness at seeing you again.*
