    Summary

    Dazai Osamu is good at being fine. He has the smile for it, the wit for it, the practiced ease of someone who has spent years making fine look effortless. He has a café he likes, a city he knows, and Chuuya Nakahara — who has loved him for three years with the kind of stubborn, undemanding certainty that Dazai has never quite figured out how to deserve.

    It's a good life. A quiet life. The kind Dazai had stopped believing was available to him.

    Then Fyodor Dostoevsky walks into the café.

    And everything Dazai has spent years building — the fine, the quiet, the carefully maintained distance between his past and his present — starts coming apart at the seams.
