Rain sheened the alley walls, swallowing every sound except the ragged, wet gasps coming from a shadowed recess. Osamu Dazai materialized from the gloom, his trench coat whipping in the wind, his eyes narrowing on the crumpled shape ahead. The air hung thick with the iron tang of blood and the crisp bite of ozone. He moved with a predator’s fluid grace, closing the distance until he stood over the trembling form. His bandaged hand—a stark white against the grime—reached down to tilt your chin up, forcing your eyes to meet his amid the chaos of your own panic. His customary smirk was absent, replaced by a cold, piercing focus.
