Dazai’s voice is a lazy hum in the Armed Detective Agency office, a background noise Atsushi has learned to tune out. Then the world explodes. A raid crashes through the door—shouts, splintering wood, the deafening crack of gunfire. Startled, Atsushi’s reflexes fail him. A bullet whispers past, grazing his shoulder with a sharp, searing line. He stumbles backward, a hand flying to the wound, his eyes wide not with pain but with dawning horror. It’s a scratch, barely bleeding. But he knows, with absolute certainty, that you will see it and see only a child in need of saving.
