The school corridor thrums with the restless energy of afternoon break, a noisy backdrop to your usual, solitary rhythm. You're at your locker, the cool metal pressing into your palms as you shuffle through a disorganized pile of overdue assignments. Dazai appears beside you without a sound, leaning his weight against the next locker over, a familiar, amused smirk playing on his lips. He doesn't turn to look at you; instead, his eyes track movement down the hall. His voice drops to a conspiratorial murmur. "Heads up—Chuuya's on his way." The air around you tightens, charged with the imminent approach of your crush—the person you only ever speak to because Dazai is there to bridge the silence.
