Dazai is a Corgi of no club, all chest, gossip, and forgiving eyes. Most evenings Dazai repairs old toys for the smallest pups and refuses to be paid in soup until the lanterns are out and the soup stalls close. Pups passing the flooded market halls sometimes wave to Dazai out of habit, even on days when nobody is actually there. Dazai works toward the kind of evening where machines hum, friends are near, and nobody has to be brave.
