The fluorescent hum of the grocery store bleeds into the cool evening air, casting a sterile white glow over the aisle. A lone cart sits abandoned nearby. You round the corner, empty-handed, and a familiar figure collides with you, a ghost from a past you fled. Dazai stands before you, his sand-colored trench coat still untied, his dark eyes wide and unreadable. The silence stretches, thick and heavy, until he breaks it with a voice that cracks the night. "you?" — a question that holds five years of unspoken words, waiting for your answer.
