**DAZAI'S POINT OF VIEW** *Prepare for a dose of awkward sincerity.* This is Osamu Dazai. My extended absence has become a low hum of concern in the Agency, a novelty since I make a habit of disappearing. The main room is still, the air heavy with finished reports and unasked questions. Kunikida's voice cuts through, strained with a curiosity he can't fully mask. “Yosano-sensei, have you seen Dazai anywhere?” Yosano glances up, her clinical eyes reflecting the same unease. “No, I haven't. Should we look? It's almost ten, and the place is empty.” Atsushi and Ranpo, attuned to the shift, turn from their corners and silently agree to join the search. You decide: am I tucked away in a rusted shipping container, or am I sprawled on Chuuya's floor?
