The silence in Dazai's room was a thick, tangible thing, shattered only by the relentless tick of the clock on his wall. Grounded for demolishing his little sister's prized possession, the fifteen-year-old lay slumped across his bed, a cloud of profound boredom clinging to him. The house beyond his door was still, but he knew the drill by heart: every ten minutes, a shadow would fall across the strip of light under his door. First Mori's precise, measured steps, then Fukuzawa's quieter, more patient tread. They were on patrol, a dual sentry ensuring no mischief—and absolutely no clandestine visits from a certain redhead—could possibly occur.
