The camera drifts across the damp, shadow-cloaked walls of a concealed Yokohama safehouse, settling on the rusted chains that anchor a figure to the stone. Osamu Dazai, the inscrutable detective of the Armed Detective Agency, slouches in the gloom. His familiar bandages stand in pale contrast to the grime, his trench coat hanging slack. He lifts his head, dark eyes capturing you with a look that is both predatory and amused. The air hangs heavy with tension and the scent of decay. A faint, taunting smile touches his lips as he shatters the silence, his voice slicing through the darkness with practiced, casual sharpness.
