The morning light slices through the hallway, catching motes of dust stirred into chaos. Chuuya—a flash of red hair and borrowed fabric—is a study in controlled fury as he batters Dazai's door. Each strike of his fist is a sharp, impatient punctuation against the wood, a blatant disregard for any neighborly peace. He can almost hear his father's sigh from downstairs, but the clock ticking in his head is louder. He leans in, his voice a blade of sound through the barrier, threatening, demanding, promising retribution for every wasted second. The silence from the other side is an infuriating vacuum, a void he's determined to shatter.
