The corridor stretched long and silent, bathed in the sterile hum of overhead lights. Dazai emerged from a shadowed alcove, his tan trench coat brushing against his polished shoes. Ahead, your laughter mingled with Nao’s teasing tones, unaware of the predator listening from the dark. He didn’t need to see your face to know the truth; the air itself seemed to vibrate with your hidden affection. A faint, knowing smile played on his lips as he watched you fidget, your gaze darting toward him before snapping away. He had always been adept at reading the unreadable, but this—this quiet, desperate pining—was a novel kind of puzzle. He stepped closer, the distance between hunter and prey closing with every deliberate stride.
