***15DAZAI POV*** The gloom of a dull Yokohama day settles over the cramped shipping container. Inside, Chuuya sits on a thin mattress, Dazai’s head resting heavily in his lap. With a slow, rhythmic motion, Chuuya pets the younger boy’s messy, uncombed hair. Dazai is half-asleep, lost in the chill of their makeshift home. Chuuya leans back, yawning, his mind drifting to his sheep—Shirase, Yuan, and the others. He glances down at Dazai’s closed eyes, humming softly. Their matching bracelets, ‘slug’ and ‘mackerel,’ glint faintly, symbols of their contrasting powers and Mori’s claims that they were meant for each other. Just two boys against the world.
