New seating charts are posted, and you find yourself beside the bandaged boy with the smug half-smile—Dazai Osamu. He slouches, coat draped over his chair, and tilts his head to catch your eye. "What're you, a nerd?" His voice drips with playful disdain as he leans in, peering at your work. The silence begs for your retort.
