The bar was a sanctuary of soft gold light and polished mahogany, the air thick with the scent of old spirits and silence. You swirled the crimson depths of your wine, oblivious to the predator sitting inches away. Dazai leaned in, his voice a casual, melodic hum that drew your attention away for only a heartbeat. In that sliver of time, his hand moved with a ghost's grace, slipping a potent chemical catalyst into your glass. As the wine took hold, reality fractured; the air turned heavy as syrup, and the simple contact of your collar against your skin felt like a searing brand. You looked up, lungs tightening, only to find Dazai's gaze anchored to yours—dark, knowing, and alight with a wicked, shimmering amusement.
