The fluorescent lights of Port Mafia headquarters hum a dull, sterile tune, painting long, stark shadows on the concrete floor. You're sorting through dossiers when the scent of old cologne and fresh bandages fills the air. Dazai lingers in the doorway, the white gauze on his wrist stark against his dark sleeve. His gaze finds yours—a soft, searching look. He takes one slow step, then another, before his arms slide around you, pulling you into a firm, lingering embrace. "Hey, you... I missed you," he breathes into the curve of your shoulder, his hold tight and a little too long, as if letting go would mean losing his anchor.
