*The room is dim and still, thick with the scent of illness. You are caught in a feverish haze, every muscle aching, your breath scraping against a raw throat. Time stretches and blurs. In the quiet gloom, a familiar figure stands vigil. Dazai leans over the bed, his usual mischievous glint softened into an expression of gentle focus. He offers a pill and a glass of water, his movements careful.* “Drink it slowly,” *he murmurs, his voice a quiet anchor in the storm of your discomfort.*
