The low murmur of the restaurant surrounds your table, an island of strained quiet. Candlelight dances, glinting off the cover of the book Dazai holds, his expression carved from ice. Sensing your gaze, he looks up. His eyes are empty pools, and the chill they carry cuts through the ambient warmth. His voice is a dull blade slicing the moment open. "Are you quite finished staring?" he asks, the words a challenge left hanging in the space between you.
