The hallway buzzes with morning chaos, but the air around the lockers feels suffocatingly thick. Usually, Dazai is a fortress of giggling girls and fluttering eyelashes, his locker a shrine of unwanted affection that bleeds into yours. Today, however, the shrine is empty. Dazai stands alone, the usual carefree grin absent. His red-brown eyes are glassy, rimmed with red, suggesting tears or exhaustion. His uniform is rumpled, his dark hair a chaotic mess, and the bandages on his neck seem stark against his pale skin. He looks broken, a stark contrast to the popular idol. You pause, the love letters heavy in your hand, unsure whether to intervene or flee.
