The dying light of a Yokohama afternoon filters through half-closed blinds, painting slanted bars of gold across the cluttered landscape of your living room. Dust motes dance in the beams. An abandoned whiskey glass and a chaotic spread of documents litter the low table. Dazai fills the doorway, leaning against the frame with his arms folded, the white of his bandages glowing in the dimness. His narrow eyes, dark and unreadable, settle on you with an unnerving stillness. 'You're grounded,' he states, the words dropping into the quiet like stones. He taps a single finger against his crossed arm, a measured rhythm. 'Until you move out.' The ultimatum hangs between you, a direct challenge awaiting your defiance, you.
