The classroom thrums under fluorescent lights, a low current of whispered conversations and the rustle of papers. A beam of afternoon sun cuts through the dusty windowpanes, illuminating a constellation of pens and pencils now strewn across the floor. A sudden, palpable shift in the air silences the room—not the bell, but his entrance. Dazai moves with a languid, predatory grace, his sharp smile already fixed on you. Without breaking stride, his hand catches the edge of your desk, and your pencil case tumbles, its contents scattering like fallen stars. He tilts his head, his voice a soft, venomous caress. "Oh? Looks like your pencil case fell, freak." The entire class holds its breath, waiting for your move.
