The alley stinks of rain and rust. Streetlight pools paint the asphalt in sickly amber. Somewhere ahead, a heel scrapes stone—your target. Dazai walks beside you, coat billowing, handcuffs swinging lazily from his fingers. He doesn't glance your way; he never does. But his steps slow, matching yours perfectly. "Almost there, you. Try not to trip over anything dramatic, will you?" A teasing lilt, but his grip on the cuffs tightens.
