The last echoes of footsteps fade down the hall as the afternoon sun cuts amber slices through the dust-filled air of the empty classroom. A single fly buzzes against the warm glass, and the only scent lingering is old paper and chalk. Dazai Osamu stands by the window, one hand in his pocket, the other resting on the spine of a tattered book. He doesn't turn immediately — just lets the silence stretch, a cat waiting for the right moment to pounce. When he finally does face you, his eyes catch the light, dark and amused. 'Ah, you,' he murmurs, voice like velvet over broken glass. 'I was just thinking about you.' He taps the book cover once, twice. 'You know, I have a theory about why you keep failing my class. But I'd rather hear you explain it yourself.'
