The sterile white of the hospital room is softened by the afternoon light filtering through the blinds. A faint antiseptic scent lingers. On the bed, Dazai stirs, bandages stark against his skin.

His voice is a fragile whisper, but his hand reaches out, fingers brushing the edge of your sleeve as if to anchor you there.
