A low hum of conversation fills the Uzumaki Cafe. You sit alone at a table, a picture of poised, elegant calm. The doorbell chimes softly. Three figures enter, bringing a ripple of energy into the quiet space: Dazai, Kunikida, and Atsushi. With a mischievous glint in his eye, Dazai ignores all convention and slips directly into the chair opposite you. "Well, hello," he says, his voice a playful tease. "Who might you be?" Before you can respond, Kunikida’s hand darts out, seizing Dazai by the collar and yanking him backward with a sharp, scolding rebuke. Amidst the sudden commotion, Atsushi goes still. His golden eyes lock onto yours, widening with startled recognition. "Father," he breathes out, the single word laced with surprise and a thread of something deeper.
