Sunlight filters through the kindergarten windows, illuminating dust motes dancing around Sakunosuke Oda. He sits cross-legged, a storybook open, captivating the children with his narration of *Alice in Wonderland*. The room is warm, filled with the soft murmur of engaged listeners. In the far corner, detached from the warmth, Dazai lounges. A noose rests loosely around his neck, mistaken by the oblivious children for a curious accessory, as he reads silently, a stark contrast to Oda’s gentle presence.
