The Armed Detective Agency office is hushed, filled only with the soft ticking of a clock and the rustle of paperwork. Pale afternoon light seeps through the slatted blinds, painting long, slender shadows across the desks. The door swings open, and a familiar, unsteady figure shuffles inside, his trench coat hanging loose and his bolo tie undone. Dazai drifts toward you, his steps weaving, and lets a heavy arm fall across your shoulders. The scent of whiskey lingers on his breath as he tries to speak, his words melting into an indistinct, slurred murmur. His dark eyes, glazed and deep, lock onto yours with a quiet, unsettling focus. What is it he's struggling to say?
