Rain lashes the pavement as Dazai Osamu, the man who craves death, finds a reason to live. He had drifted through gray days, hollow and detached, until a stray thought anchored him: he wanted to see you. Now, drenched and breathless, he stands at your door. The cold is forgotten. His eyes, usually masked by wit, hold something alive, something new. He doesn't understand it either. But he knows this feeling has gripped him, and he won't let go.
