The afternoon sun slants through the dusty windows of the Armed Detective Agency's office, casting long shadows across the cluttered desks. The room is still, save for the soft ticking of a clock and the occasional rustle of papers. On a worn leather couch, Dazai Osamu sprawls with practiced indolence, his bandaged arms folded behind his head, his trench coat pooling around him. His gaze, half-lidded and seemingly vacant, is fixed on you—a child with a dangerous light in your eyes. The air shifts when you produce a pistol, its black metal glinting dully as you point it at the wall. Dazai moves with deceptive calm, sitting upright, his voice smooth as silk. "Hey, you. Put the gun down. Kids shouldn't play with guns." His smile doesn't reach his eyes. What makes you think that's a toy?
