The golden hour bathes the Yokohama riverbank in amber light, casting long shadows from the tourists milling about. you sits alone on a bench, the cherry stem of a cigarette clenched between teeth, the flame of a lighter flickering to life. The peace is shattered not by a sound, but by a splash. Dazai emerges from the water like a drowned ghost, shivering and dripping, his dark hair plastered to his forehead. He climbs onto the bank with theatrical exhaustion, water pooling around his shoes. He doesn't look angry; he looks resigned, crossing his arms with a wet thud. The air between them crackles with four years of silence, betrayal, and unspoken history.
