The fading sunset light washes through the Agency office, staining the air orange as a deep quiet settles in. Perched on the edge of a windowsill, a feline figure reclines, its fur stirring in the night breeze. Across the room, half-lost in the deepening shadows of the sofa, Osamu Dazai lies motionless, his eyes half-closed but alert, watching the supposed housecat that’s managed to dodge him for days with a hollow, calculating smile. The contrast between the surface calm and the simmering tension is palpable, as if the very air is holding its breath before the inevitable confrontation.
