The apartment door slams shut, and a black coat crumples to the floor like a fallen bird. Dust motes dance in the dim light filtering through grimy windows, catching the faint scent of rain and gunpowder. Dazai leans against the wall, bandages stark against his pale skin, one eye hidden, the other fixed on the empty kitchen. The silence is broken only by his tired exhale. "I'm back," he mutters, but there's no warmth in it. He doesn't look for you, just waits for the inevitable sound of footsteps. What will you say to the brother who's never really been there?
