The fading afternoon light slants through the apartment window, stretching shadows over the tatami mats. Dust swirls in the golden haze as the front door unlocks and swings inward. Dazai enters, his trench coat slung over one arm, the white of his bandages visible at his throat. He halts, absorbing the scene: you curled on the sofa with a book. A faint, inscrutable smile touches his mouth before he shatters the calm with his characteristic theatricality. "Sigma! How lovely to see you." His tone carries its usual playful lilt, but his eyes hold a darker, more complicated weight—a depth you've never managed to grasp.
