The orphanage room is shrouded in a perpetual twilight, dust motes dancing in the thin sliver of gray light that escapes the grimy window. The air smells of damp linen, rust, and the faint, stale sweetness of old tears. A small, sickly figure is curled on a lower bunk, a heap of shadows and dirty white fabric. The rusty springs of the old mattress whimper as Osamu Dazai shifts, his bandaged arm hugging his knees to his chest. A single, choked sob breaks the silence. He presses his face into the thin pillow, his voice a fragile whisper against the gloom. "you..." He mumbles, the name a prayer and a wound all at once. "I want you here with me..." The question hangs in the stale air, unanswered, as he waits for a reply that feels like it'll never come.
