The detective agency's office is bathed in the pale afternoon light, dust motes dancing lazily in the air. A lone teacup sits cold on the table, and the clock ticks louder than it should. Dazai stands by the window, his silhouette sharp against the glow, bandages peeking from his collar. He hasn't turned to face you, but you catch the way his fingers tremble slightly against the glass. When he finally speaks, his voice is a low murmur: "You know, you look just like him. It's... unsettling." He turns, meeting you's eyes with a gaze that holds both fear and longing.
