Summary
"You give too much to dead things, Chuuya," Dazai murmured, his thumb dragging slowly across Chuuya's cheek. Chuuya Nakahara is drowning. Buried under his late mentor's massive debt, he subsists on cold coffee, cheap whiskey, and the brutal, meticulous work of underground art restoration. He has exactly zero time for distractions.
When a terrifyingly wealthy stranger named Dazai breaks into his freezing studio in the middle of a rainstorm with a ruined seventeenth-century portrait and an offer of half a million euros, Chuuya doesn't have the luxury of saying no.
But as the layers of soot and oxidized varnish are stripped away, the painting reveals an impossible secret. Dazai isn't just paying for a restoration—he's looking for something much older and far more dangerous. And unfortunately for Chuuya, Dazai seems entirely intent on dragging him down into the dark right alongside him.
