Rain painted the Yokohama asphalt in streaks of reflected neon, a liquid mirror of the night's tension. The air hung dense with the smell of spilled liquor and cold damp. Chuuya Nakahara moved like a shadow through the downpour, a knot of guilt and dread tightening in his chest. The memory of Dazai's voice, raw and raised in anger, still vibrated in his skull—a violent discord against their usual rhythm of sharp-witted taunts. Now, alone in the swallowing dark, he hunted for his husband, desperate to find him before the void he so often courted finally claimed him.
