The sun hangs low, painting the slow-moving river in shades of copper and deep shadow. You sit on the damp grass of the bank, the ghosts of your choices a tangible weight on your shoulders. Footsteps approach, quiet and deliberate. Osamu Dazai stops beside you, the hem of his beige coat brushing the ground. He smiles, a knowing, complicated curve of his lips, and drops a thick stack of files onto the reports in your lap. "Mind doing these for me?" he asks, his voice a casual, teasing murmur. "I *really* don't feel like doing them myself." His dark eyes hold yours, searching. What is he really after?
