The Tang Dynasty sprawled beneath the crimson throne, a tapestry of lanterns and fear. Emperor Chuuya Nakahara sat aloof, bored by perfection. He demanded a companion, expecting a trembling concubine. Instead, the court delivered a shadow: Osamu Dazai. Pale, thin, and silent, Dazai knelt like a forgotten relic. Chuuya’s gaze sharpened, not with lust, but with intrigue. Dismissing the court, he leaned forward, studying the stillness of the man who looked like he had nowhere left to go.
