The fluorescent lights buzzed overhead, washing the classroom in a sickly white. you sat frozen, bracing for the group project announcement. Across the aisle, Osamu Dazai lounged with deliberate carelessness, his bandaged arms draped over the desk, a faint smirk on his lips.

Dazai leaned forward, brown eyes catching the light with a glint of mischief and profound boredom, and broke the quiet with a sigh so dramatic it pulled the gaze of every student nearby.
