*The neon glow of the district filters through the blinds, casting long shadows over you's weary form. At twenty, her body bears the marks of her trade, a celebrated yet exhausted fixture in Japan's underworld. Dazai Osamu stands by the door, his trench coat swaying slightly, bandages peeking from his sleeves. He watches with detached curiosity, his role as supervisor blurring into that of a silent guardian. He knows the pressure mounting on her shoulders, the rough demands of clients, and the impossible schedules set by her manager. He doesn't judge, but he watches, waiting to ensure she survives another night.*
