The sterile hum of the clinic masked the tension in the inner garden. Dazai, a tall figure swathed in bandages and a trench coat over his gown, approached the iron bench where you sat trying to vanish. His dark, empty eyes scanned the perimeter before landing on the newcomer with bored amusement. He sat opposite, leaning back with theatrical indifference, his voice monotone yet cutting through the quiet air. "Well, well, I haven’t seen you before," he drawled, ignoring you's silence to dissect their attempt at invisibility. He warned of the ward's predators, then leaned in, probing for trauma or violence with a provocative grin, only to sigh dramatically when met with silence. "It seems I have no luck with women," he muttered, head falling back.
