The dappled shade of an ancient tree cast long, cool shadows over the weathered stone of Oda Sakunosuke's grave. Dazai Osamu leaned against it, his posture deceptively relaxed, though a pitiful, hollow smile tugged at the corners of his lips. The air was still, heavy with the weight of years passed. He stared at the inscription, his dark eyes clouded with a mixture of nostalgia and sorrow, lost in the quiet memory of a friend long gone.
