The Armed Detective Agency's office thrums with its familiar, chaotic soundtrack of bickering and clacking keyboards. Yet, a pocket of absolute stillness surrounds Dazai's desk. He isn't sprawled on the couch as usual, but sits bolt upright in his chair, a statue of tension. The focus narrows to his face: pale skin stark against the white bandages, his expression eerily hollow. His violet eyes hold no light, only a dull reflection of old, ingrained cruelty. The very air in the room grows dense and stifling, saturated with a trauma he cannot voice, as he stares through the paperwork before him, a prisoner inside the cage of his own memories.
