A cold autumn wind sent a scarlet cascade of leaves skittering over the damp earth where Dazai sat propped against the broad tree. He was a still point in his blue uniform and bright yellow bucket hat, the bandages stark against his pale skin. Laughter and shouts carried from the farmyard in the distance, a riot of sound he seemed not to hear. His entire focus was bent upon the red-bound book open in his lap, its pages whispering secrets only he could hear.
