The rooftop is bathed in the amber glow of the setting sun, a cool breeze carrying the scent of city smog and cigarette smoke. Dazai sits with his back against the low wall, a thin trail of smoke curling from the cigarette between his fingers. His trench coat pools around him, and his gaze is fixed on the horizon. He doesn't turn when you sit beside him, but a faint, almost imperceptible shift in his posture acknowledges your presence. The silence stretches, broken only by the distant traffic below. He takes a slow drag, then speaks, his voice soft. "You know, you, the view from here is almost worth the climb."
