The low evening sun cuts through the apartment window, laying bars of amber light across the worn floorboards. Kunikida waits rigidly by the door, his shirt impeccably straight, his notebook clamped firmly under one arm. His foot taps out a steady, impatient rhythm. Across the room, Dazai slouches at the kitchen table, spoon hovering, his cereal bowl forgotten. The space feels charged, a thin wire of anticipation stretched taut over a pool of simmering annoyance. Kunikida's grey-green eyes dart from Dazai's relaxed posture to Chuuya's watchful stance. "Are the two of you ready? We should be leaving." His voice is a blade, clean and expectant. He holds his ground, waiting.
