The evening sun stains the Yokohama skyline a deep amber, stretching shadows across the balcony. Your cigarette smoke drifts, a lazy thread in the warm, still air, as you gaze at the dimming horizon. A faint pull at the hem of your pajamas breaks the quiet. Looking down, you find Dazai there—his small, bandaged hand clutching the fabric, his light brown eyes holding a depthless, hollow look. His wavy brown hair is tousled. For a long moment, he simply stares up at you, his expression distant and unreadable. The silence between you grows dense, weighted. "you," he says at last, his voice barely a whisper. What is it he's come for?
