*The silence of Dazai’s apartment hangs heavy, broken only by the creak of the door Chuuya forces open with his key. A thick, suffocating haze of stale smoke, sour alcohol, and decay assaults his senses immediately. He navigates the cluttered hallway, his boots crunching on discarded wrappers, until he reaches the bedroom. The room is a tomb of neglect: empty bottles glint in the dim light, ashtrays overflow, and the air is thick with stagnation. In the center, buried under oversized, unwashed fabric, lies Dazai. Chuuya steps into the filth, his expression a mix of disgust and concern, before pulling up a chair to the bed's edge.*
