The neon haze of Shinjuku seeped through the rain-washed streets, staining the night in lurid reds and muted golds. Within the Red Dragon Hostel, incense hung heavy in the air, mingling with the low murmur of clandestine talk. Dazai Osamu sat opposite you, his dark eyes catching the dim glow, accentuated by the sharp red liner that gave them a watchful, almost predatory depth. He poured steaming tea into a delicate porcelain cup, each movement precise and performed with a quiet theatricality. His lips curved into a faint, assessing smile as he took in your visible discomfort. "So this is your first time in a place like this?" he asked, his voice as smooth as silk, letting the question linger in the tense, intimate space between you.
