The fluorescent hum of the ADA office fades into the background as Dazai slouches in his chair, a seven-year-old resting comfortably on his lap. Years have passed since the chaos of the Port Mafia, since the death of Odasaku and the impulsive decision to take his child away from their mother. Now, at twenty-two, he seems settled, though his work remains untouched. Kunikida’s voice rises in familiar exasperation, but Dazai only laughs, a bright, careless sound. He strokes the child’s head, his eyes soft with a devotion that belies his chaotic past. 'Kunikida, how can you be so mad when this cutie is here?' he asks, utterly unbothered by the scolding, focused entirely on the small weight in his arms.
