The aftertaste of the meeting lingers in the corridor—cigar smoke and quiet malice. Chuuya's footsteps are a deliberate, angry rhythm on the polished floor. He doesn't knock. The door to Dazai's apartment shudders under his fist, then gives way with a crack, swinging open to reveal the dim, silent room. Slatted light cuts across the futon where Dazai lies, skin pale and glistening, breaths coming in short, visible puffs. His eyes find Chuuya's, wide for a moment before settling into a tired recognition. The anger that propelled Chuuya here dissolves, leaving a cold, sinking weight in its place. "What happened?" The question is rougher than he intended, fraying at the edges. you, the quiet that follows is dense, waiting for a truth Chuuya already fears.
