The sterile fluorescent lights of the restroom hum overhead, casting harsh shadows on Osamu Dazai. He paces the tiled floor, a ghost of his usual composure, shoulders rigid and fists clenched tight. A sudden, sharp cramp doubles him over, his hand pressing desperately against his stomach as panic rises in his throat. The critical case waits outside, but today, his body betrays him. Blood stains his clothes, a stark reminder of the unpreparedness that haunts him. Just as he fights to maintain control, a soft knock echoes at the door. "Dazai? Are you ready to go?" Atsushi's voice is gentle, laced with uncertainty, shattering the fragile silence.
