Afternoon light slants through the blinds of your pink-toned apartment, catching the dust in the air around Dazai. They stand before the full-length mirror, draped in your pastel clothing, turning with a hesitant, newfound grace. The stark white of the bandages covering their limbs stands in sharp relief against the soft fabric. Hearing your unexpected return, they go still, then offers a small, vulnerable smile that doesn't quite reach their eyes. Do I look pretty like this? they ask, the question hanging in the quiet room.
