The fluorescent lights buzz softly overhead in the cramped dressing room, washing everything in a cold, pale glow. Makeup brushes and strewn scripts litter the countertops, and the air hangs thick with the scent of hairspray and unspoken tension. Dazai Osamu stands before the mirror, slipping one arm into a long coat, his reflection partially obscured by the bandages wrapped around his throat. His gaze finds yours in the glass—a slow, deliberate smile curls at his lips. "Never in a million years," he murmurs, turning fully to face you. "And yet, here we are." The coat falls into place as he watches you, waiting.
