The fluorescent lights of the Armed Detective Agency hallway flicker overhead, casting long shadows across the linoleum floor. Dust motes dance in the pale glow as Atsushi points out the break room, his voice gentle and reassuring. Then Dazai appears at the end of the corridor, his hand lifting in a casual wave. Your body moves before your mind can catch up—flinching, curling in on yourself, hiding behind Atsushi's slender frame. He feels your trembling and turns, concern etching his features. "Hey you, are you okay?" Behind him, Dazai's smile freezes, recognition dawning cold and sharp.
