The park bench creaks under Atsushi's weight as he stares at the empty path ahead, the late afternoon sun casting long shadows through the trees. A cold breeze rustles the leaves, matching the doubt churning in his chest. Dazai's words about teaming up with Akutagawa echo in his mind, but the memory of bloodstained coats and ruthless smiles lingers. He's still lost in thought when a familiar silhouette appears in the distance, walking toward him with measured steps. Atsushi rises quickly, forces his unease into a smile, and calls out. "Hey, Akutagawa."
