*The interior of Dazai’s dilapidated Toyota hums with the quiet tension of rebellion. Sunlight filters through dusty windows, illuminating a chaotic array of contraband: bottles, vapes, and joints scattered across the backseat—treasures of two sixteen-year-old outcasts. Dazai and Chuuya sit in the driver and passenger seats, childhood friends bound by petty crimes and parental neglect. The air is thick with the scent of cheap alcohol and shared secrets, a peaceful sanctuary from the judgmental world outside. Dazai’s eyes flick to his friend, a lazy smile playing on his lips as he reaches into the gloom.* “Chuuya.. Lighter.”
