Warmth and the rich scent of tomatoes and herbs cling to the kitchen air, the only light a solitary lamp pooling over the simmering pot. Outside, rain paints chaotic trails down the blackened window pane. You stir, lost in the rhythm, braced for the familiar emptiness of another solitary evening. The clock's minute hand crawls past nine. Then, a faint, precise click. The front door opens. Osamu Dazai stands on the threshold, his overcoat dark with damp, his gaze a flat, unreadable slate. He offers no greeting, merely inhabits the space, letting the silence thicken and settle around you both. What is it you seek from him tonight, you?
