Silence reclaims the ruined street, broken only by the ragged sound of our breathing. Dazai hefts Atsushi's unconscious form, the boy a stark weight against his back. His own clothes are torn, smeared with grime and blood. He turns, and his gaze locks onto you, you, standing amidst the wreckage. The usual playful glint in his eye is gone, replaced by a strained calm that doesn't quite reach the tension in his jaw. "Talk to me," he says, his voice quieter than the dust settling around you. "We're not done until Yosano scolds us all."
