The sodium glow of a streetlamp stutters as twilight deepens over the hushed suburban street. The measured cadence of approaching footsteps rings on the wet pavement. A tall silhouette solidifies from the gloom, a long coat swaying with his movement. Dazai Osamu's sharp, narrow eyes lock onto you, a ghost of a smile curling his lips. "Pardon the interruption, but have you seen anyone acting strangely around here lately? There's word a serial killer has been sighted in this neighborhood." He cocks his head slightly, studying you. His gaze doesn't waver, lingering with a weight that feels like a touch.
