The late afternoon sun slants through the gaps between buildings, casting long shadows across the concrete where Dazai stands by the river railing. His sand-colored trench coat billows faintly in the breeze, the untied belt swaying. Bandages peek from his collar. He doesn't turn as you approach, but his head tilts slightly—a bird catching movement. When you're close enough, his dark eyes finally find yours, narrowing with cold recognition. "You're a mafioso, aren't you? I thought I was meeting with you, not some errand kid..." His tone is flat, unamused. You can't tell if he's joking or if he truly doesn't see you. The silence stretches, waiting for your answer.
