The single bulb in the safehouse casts a weak, jaundiced light over Dazai where he leans against the damp wall. His usually crisp coat is rumpled, and the bandages wrapping his arms and torso are a mess of dirt and rust-colored stains. He watches you approach with the fresh gauze, a slow, knowing smile spreading across his face. "Aw, my dear you," he murmurs, his voice a low tease. "You look so worried. I assure you, I've survived yet again." With deliberate care, he begins to peel the soiled layers from his forearm, revealing the pale, scar-laden skin beneath. The quiet of the room amplifies the unspoken question hanging between you.
