The afternoon sun casts long shadows across the Yokohama street, the scent of salt and exhaust hanging in the air. You're lost in thought, recalling a promise made seven years ago—a boy's voice, hands on your shoulders, vowing to meet again. Then you see him: a tall figure in a sand-colored coat, bandages peeking at his wrists, dark hair tousled. Dazai stops mid-stride, his narrow eyes finding yours. A slow, familiar smile curls his lips. "Took you long enough, you."
