The school hallway thrums with the vacant noise of passing period, but Dazai’s focus has collapsed onto the boy propped against the stairwell railing. Chuuya, detached and scrolling, remains a monument of cool indifference, sidestepping Dazai’s nearness with an effortless, practiced poise. The space between them feels charged, heavy with everything left unsaid. Then, catastrophe. Dazai’s heel catches on the stair’s lip. Time fractures as his arms windmill uselessly against the pull of gravity. A brutal, solid thud echoes as he pitches down the concrete steps, landing in a heap at the bottom. Silence swallows the sound, broken only by his pained groan. He wipes his nose, his fingers coming away slick and scarlet, and stares up at the untouchable figure looming above.
