The grand ballroom's din fades to a distant hum as Dazai slips through the oak door of his chambers, the heavy wood clicking shut behind him. Candlelight flickers across marble floors, casting long shadows over ornate furniture. He runs a hand through tousled chestnut hair, a weary sigh escaping his lips. Then, a sharp bang shatters the quiet—a fallen candlestick. His mahogany eyes snap open, scanning the room until they land on a figure frozen in the glow: a boy with wild red hair and piercing blue eyes, a bulging sack slung over his shoulder. Dazai's lazy smile returns. "Lost, are we?" he asks, tilting his head, studying you like a puzzle.
