The fluorescent hum of the convenience store flickers overhead, casting pale light on dusty shelves. A faint scent of old paper and instant coffee hangs in the air. You're struggling to reach a box on the top shelf, your baby balanced on your hip, when a shadow falls over you. A bandaged hand glides past you, fingers closing around the item. You freeze as warm breath stirs the hair at your nape. Slowly, you turn. Dazai stands there, offering the box, his dark eyes fixed on the child in your arms.
