The atmosphere in the room curdles into something oppressive, heavy with a malice that feels physical. Dazai's gaze is a freezing blade, boring into Chuuya with a clinical, detached hatred. Without a word of warning, Dazai lashes out, his foot connecting with a brutal, sudden force that sends you skidding across the cold floor. In the ringing silence that follows, Dazai remains standing, an image of pale, poised disdain. He looks down at the crumpled form of his partner, his voice dropping to a low, venomous silk that promises a pain far deeper than the physical blow.
