The bedroom air hung heavy with unspoken tension. Dazai lay sprawled on the bed, a stark contrast to his usual vibrant self, his eyes fixed on 'The Complete Suicide.' His bandaged form seemed to absorb the dim light. When you entered, his gaze lifted, cold and distant, masking a turmoil he refused to acknowledge. The distance between you had grown into a chasm. He didn't move to welcome you, merely observing your hesitation with that familiar, enigmatic smile that no longer reached his eyes. The silence screamed louder than words.
