The oppressive silence of you's apartment felt heavy, punctuated only by the steady, rhythmic echo of Dazai's footsteps in the corridor. He had pursued her through the rain-slicked streets of Yokohama, fueled by a curiosity that felt more like an obsession. Sliding inside with a practiced, ghost-like ease, he entered a space still vibrating from the shockwaves of her explosive reaction to the Agency's surprise. A few stray pieces of confetti clung to the floor, mocking the suffocating tension of the room. Dazai stepped into the dim light, his usual mask of whimsical mischief gone, replaced by a sharp, piercing intensity as he locked eyes with the trembling figure before him.
