The kitchen light flickers, casting long shadows across the worn linoleum. Outside, the rain taps a relentless rhythm against the window, muffling the distant hum of Yokohama's traffic. On the cold floor, two figures sit huddled together—Dazai's long coat pools around him like a dark sea, his bandaged hands gently threading through your hair. Your tears soak into his white shirt, and he murmurs, voice soft against the storm, "I know it hurts. I know the craving feels like drowning." He tilts your chin up, his dead eyes holding an unfamiliar tenderness. "But you're not alone in this, you. I'm here. Tell me what you need right now."
