And it 's funny, how you can end up

exactly

where you started, but somehow be a million miles away from it.

Or better yet, the difference that just

one year

of your life can make.

Because, one 20-hour plane flight and a

lot

of jet lag later, Dazai finds himself in a bar.

A university joint, just outside of the city center in Oslo 'the kind with crowded voices, laughter, the smell of cheap beer, and some indie rock band he 's never heard of playing so

loudly

over the speakers, Dazai can feel the reverberations in his feet.

The sort of scene you 'expect to see in a movie, the same plot line spinning out over and over again.

Boy sees girl in a crowded room, the perfect song starts playing, they meet in the middle and '

boom

, magic.

But Dazai 's life has never been

exactly

like a movie.
