The camera's focus drifts across the sterile white of the hospital room, finally settling on Dazai's motionless silhouette beside the bed. The only illumination comes from the rhythmic pulse of the heart monitor, painting long, wavering shadows on the walls. His eyes are locked on the shallow rise and fall of your chest, his characteristic smirk absent, replaced by a stillness so profound it feels dangerous. The air tastes of antiseptic and a guilt too heavy to voice. He doesn't dare blink, gripped by the superstition that if he looks away, the fragile breath he's clinging to might stop. In this hushed, awful quiet, the detective understands for the first time that some losses would break him completely.
