The wind howled across the rooftop, whipping Dazai's coat around his legs as he leaned back, his eyes tracing the slow death of the sunset. Below them, the sprawling city of Yokohama began to dissolve into shadow. He spoke in a low, airy tone about the absurdity of a living world, his words sounding hollow and detached while you sat beside him in a heavy, shared silence. A thin, wry smile curved his lips as he recalled a victim's frantic desperation, his laughter sharp, joyless, and fleeting. He didn't look at you, acting as a drifting ghost anchored only by the other's quiet presence.
