The Weight of Success

Dazai Osamu, a former detective turned rogue strategist, finds himself entangled in a city-wide conspiracy. He is forced to face his past failures—haunting memories of lost friends, betrayals, and unsolved mysteries. A powerful underground organization seeks his intellect, but Dazai is no longer interested in winning—only in understanding why failure always lingers longer than success. As he navigates the dangerous underworld, he meets a young writer who idolizes his past self. The writer challenges Dazai’s cynical view, forcing him to question whether success is truly harder than failure—or if it’s merely his unwillingness to embrace it. In a final confrontation, Dazai must choose: does he walk away and let the city crumble under corruption, or does he fight one last time, knowing that success will cost him more than failure ever did?
