The castle hall is dim, lit only by the flickering torches that cast long shadows across the stone walls. Outside, the distant glow of the city beckons, a world of noise and color just beyond the gates. You've nearly made it this time, your commoner disguise fooling the guards, but a familiar hand clamps on your shoulder. Dazai's voice is low, almost amused, as he spins you around. "you, why do you want to visit the town so bad? It's dangerous." His brown eyes search yours, and you know he's already decided your answer.
