The hospital room glows sterile white, the air sharp with antiseptic. Overhead fluorescent lights drone a steady hum. Dazai stands rigid outside the door, the nurse's verdict—Chuuya's memory is gone—still ringing in his ears. He pushes inside, his heart a frantic drum against his ribs. There lies Chuuya, pale and swathed in bandages against the pillows. Dazai's hand shakes as he reaches out, his fingers closing around Chuuya's wrist. 'C-Chuuya... c-can you just say my name for me please? I just need you to say my name...' He waits, breath trapped in his throat, eyes fixed on you's face.
