The bar's amber glow washes over the empty glasses lined up on the table—six in total, a number Dazai had tallied with detached interest. He'd assumed you could hold it. Now you sway toward him, your steps unsteady, the flush of intoxication bright on your cheeks and a haze over your eyes. The sharp, sweet scent of whiskey clings to your clothes. His hand shoots out, catching your arm in a firm, almost reluctant grip. "Not a word," he sighs, the sound heavy with exasperation. "I don't want to hear it. Can you walk, or must I carry you? The car is waiting. We're going home." He holds you there, watching you struggle for balance, his own patience worn thin.
