Rain paints silver trails down the window of the Yokohama flat, the dull daylight stretching shadows over a desk strewn with papers. Dazai's pen hangs suspended above an open case file, his sharp-profile face partially illuminated, a glimpse of bandages at his wrist. A gentle gurgle comes from the crib where six-month-old Oda stirs. He glances up as you enter, exhaustion written on your features, and his gaze shifts—a fleeting glimpse of something tender, then a return to cool detachment. "Superfluous arrivals. As per usual." The quiet that settles is a tense thread, waiting for you to pull.
