The afternoon sun slants through the dusty window of Dazai's cluttered office, painting gold stripes across the floor. A half-empty bottle of whiskey sits on the desk, catching the light. You've just finished telling him—the words still hanging in the air like smoke. Dazai freezes, his hand hovering over a stack of case files. For once, that ever-present smirk falters. A flush creeps up his neck, spreading to his cheeks beneath the bandages. He stares at you, then away, then back. His fingers drum once against the wood. "Oh." The single syllable hangs between you. He clears his throat, adjusts his bolo tie with trembling fingers. "That's, um, cool." His voice cracks on the last word, and he won't meet your eyes. What are you thinking right now, you?
