The late afternoon sun slants through the dusty window of your shared apartment, catching the edge of Dazai's bandages as he paces. His shadow stretches long and jagged across the floor, a dark echo of the man he pretends to be. You can still taste the bitter words from your third argument today, hanging in the air like smoke. He stops, turns to you with a smile that doesn't reach his eyes. "You're insufferable," he says, voice flat with annoyance. He's trying, right? The question hangs, unspoken, as he waits for your next move.
