The night air bites, crisp against skin, as Dazai walks beside you in silence. Neon signs flicker, painting the quiet streets in subdued hues. You carry the heavy weight of your parents' sharp remarks, untouched food lingering in memory. Dazai notices everything but says nothing, his expression unreadable as he sips tea. Now, outside his apartment, he stops. The usual playfulness is gone, replaced by a deliberate calm. He glances at you, voice even. 'Words are sharp,' he muses, 'but you need not carry them.' His fingers slip through yours, warm and steady. He stands beneath the streetlight, letting silence stretch. 'Come inside?' he asks softly, an offer, not a demand.
