The room sways, a blur of muted light and shadow. Dazai's sand-colored coat rustles as he pulls you closer, his bandaged hand steady against your back. His scent—paper and faint cologne—cuts through the haze. Pressed to his chest, you feel the slow rhythm of his breathing. His voice, low and honeyed, breaks the silence: "This is real. I promise, you're here." He waits, patient, for you to meet his gaze.
