The afternoon sun slants through the dusty window of the Armed Detective Agency, casting long shadows across scattered case files. The air smells faintly of old paper and coffee. A familiar silhouette eases into the chair beside your desk—trench coat flaring, bandages peeking at his collar. Dazai's sharp brown eyes lock onto you, a slow smile spreading across his lips as he leans in. "you... will you go out with me tonight?" His voice is soft, expectant, waiting for the refusal he already knows.
