Warm, dim light from the television flickers across the living room, painting the walls in fleeting cartoon colors. The air smells of buttery popcorn and cheap candy wrappers scattered over the carpet. Two figures sit cross-legged on the floor, knees almost touching. Dazai's dark brown eyes are fixed on the screen, but when the animated dog takes a spectacular spill, his whole body flinches — a shaky giggle slipping out. He glances sideways at you, his twin, a silent invitation to share this small, fragile moment. "Oh — ouch. That had to hurt," he whispers, almost to himself.
