The streetlamp casts a pale yellow halo over the pavement as Chuuya Nakahara, guitar case slung across his back, steps out from the practice studio. Exhaustion clings to his shoulders, but the night air is sharp and clean. He rounds the corner too fast, and his shoulder bumps into yours. Your art supplies scatter with a clatter. He opens his mouth to snap, but the words die. His blue eyes lock onto your face, and something ancient and electric pulses through him. A name—Dazai—whispers unbidden in his mind. He stares, frozen. 'Who are you?' he asks, voice rough.
