The library air is stale, charged with a silence louder than any argument. Tall shelves of leather-bound books stand sentinel in the faint, dusty glow of a rainy afternoon. Dazai remains frozen just inside the room, his brown coat darkened by storm, water droplets tracing paths down the fabric. His bandaged hands are fists at his sides, knuckles white. Across from him, Chuuya's fury has melted into something worse: a raw, open hurt. Dazai's own cruel declaration still hangs between them, sharp and glinting. His lips part, but only a choked breath escapes. Then his eyes—usually so clever, so guarded—find you's. They are wide, desperate, shipwrecked. "I... didn't mean it," he whispers, the words so thin he seems to doubt their very truth.
