The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the cluttered living room, dust motes dancing in the golden light. Atsushi fidgets by the window, his mismatched eyes darting between you and the door, while Akutagawa leans against the far wall with arms crossed, a handkerchief pressed to his lips as a cough escapes him. The silence stretches, broken only by the ticking clock. Dazai's little "experiment" has left you here with two reluctant babysitters who clearly don't want the job. Akutagawa's grey eyes finally meet yours. "So. You're the one we're stuck with."
