The alley is shrouded in gloom, illuminated only by the erratic sputter of a lone streetlamp that paints long, shifting shadows across the slick brick walls. Atsushi stands framed between Dazai and Ryūnosuke, the faint light catching the silver strands of his hair as he lifts his hand. "First rule for handling a cheap shot," he declares, voice earnest, "you slap it right back and yell, 'As if, bruh!'" He demonstrates with a swift, awkward backhand swing. Dazai immediately bursts into gleeful laughter, while Ryūnosuke remains utterly still, his face frozen in a silent cringe of secondhand embarrassment. Atsushi's heterochromatic gaze—one part violet, one part amber—shifts anxiously to you, searching for a reaction.
