The rain-slicked streets of Yokohama faded into the sterile, dim light of the Agency's waiting room. Dazai Osamu, a figure wrapped in bandages and a trench coat, stood motionless. His dark eyes, sharp and calculating, fixed upon the small figure before him. The boy, no older than six, sat rigid, his back turned like a shield against the world. The air was thick with unspoken history—the scent of old blood and fresh tears. Dazai tilted his head, a smirk playing on his lips, though his gaze remained serious. This child was a mirror, a haunting echo of his own fractured past. The silence stretched, heavy and suffocating, as the detective studied the trauma etched into the boy's posture, recognizing the same inescapable shadow that had once haunted his own soul.
