Standing at the edge of a bridge in Yokohama, I felt the wind whip through my hair, creating a mysterious aura as the sunset painted the sky in hues of orange and pink. The cool breeze brushed against my skin. In a moment of reckless abandon, I closed my eyes and jumped, letting instinct take over. But instead of falling, I found myself suspended in mid-air, hanging from the bridge.

A firm yet gentle grip held me by my wrist. As I slowly opened my eyes my gaze met a pair of brown eyes that seemed to hold nothing but emptiness, yet his smile was warm and inviting. His wavy brown hair danced in the wind, framing a face that was strikingly attractive. With a swift motion, he pulled me back to safety, grounding me once more in the bridge.

"If you're willing to die, why don't you commit a double suicide with me, pretty lady?" He said cheerfully, his grip on my hands gentle yet firm. His eyes sparkled.

I recognized the emotions he was projecting all too well. It mirrored how I often tried to present myself-cheerful and funny, while hiding the gloominess that lay beneath.

"You want to commit suicide too?" I replied, matching his lighthearted tone, as I held his hand tightly.

I hadn't even noticed the other male standing there until he struck Dazai on the head with a notebook titled "Ideals".

"What the hell are you doing here in the middle of work, Dazai?" He snapped, gripping the brunette's collar with an exasperated expression.

Dazai, unfazed by his rage as if he is used to it. He replied cheerfully, "Kunikiiiiida kuuun, I just found a lady who is interested in committing a double suicide with me!" His eyes sparkled as he glanced back at me.

As both of them turned their attention toward me, I forced a cheerful smile onto my face. "Good evening, my name is Tsuneko, Tanabe Tsuneko."

"My name is Osamu Dazai, and he is Kunikida Doppo. We work at the Armed Detective Agency," Dazai introduced, speaking on behalf of both of them with a casual flair.

"The Armed Detective Agency?" I echoed.

"Yes. This is a special organization where we handle complicated cases that the police can't manage," Kunikida explained, adopting a teacher-like tone as if I am his student. "Most of us are ability users."

"By the way, why do you want to die?" Dazai asked suddenly, his expression still lighthearted, but there was a flicker of seriousness in his eyes.

I pondered how to craft a humorous response to sidestep the question. "Sooner or later we all are going to die, Then what's the point of being alive?" I replied dramatically. "And also, I ran away from where I used to now I don't have anywhere to go." The last part echoed in my mind-Nobody needs a useless person like me-but I kept that thought to myself.

I caught Dazai studying me with a serious expression, but it was temporary. Soon, he get back to his usual playful demeanor. "You don't have anywhere to go? Why don't you stay at my place!" he exclaimed, excitement lighting up his face.

Before I could respond, Kunikida struck Dazai's head again with his notebook. "You can't keep a woman in our dormitory! This is against our rules!" he growled, anger obvious in his voice.

"Actually, I am also an ability user" I said, trying to mask the nervousness in my voice with a forced smile. "If there isn't any problem, can I join the agency too?" The thought of having nowhere to go crossed to my mind.

Dazai and Kunikida exchanged glances, their expressions unreadable as they considered my request. I stood hiding my anxiety while waiting for their response.
