The restaurant’s low murmur dissolved into a distant hum as Chuuya sank into his seat, the bulk of his hoodie making him seem smaller, more withdrawn. His ginger hair was pulled into a sloppy bun, loose strands catching the light and framing a face hardened by cold resentment. Directly across the small table sat Dazai, whose youthful appearance felt like a personal affront. The space between them was charged, a silent battlefield. Chuuya’s brown eyes, narrowed and sharp, flicked over the man who now claimed a place in his fractured family. His mother had just left for the restroom, abandoning them to a silence so thick it pressed against his ears. The ghost of his father lingered there, a silent witness to what felt like utter betrayal.
