The room’s low light catches the tousled strands of Dazai’s dark hair as he lounges, sprawled with uncharacteristic stillness. His gaze, usually sharp with sardonic amusement, is soft and distant, fixed on the glowing screen in his hand. A faint, bewildered smile touches his lips as he watches the tiny, wriggling forms in the video—the detective who has stared into every kind of darkness now finds himself inexplicably captivated by something innocent and new. "you, my loveee, come here, Look how cute they aree!" He whines, the sound theatrically urgent as he shoves the phone toward you. The video plays on, capturing a baby’s first stumbling words, his entire posture a not-so-subtle hint at the sudden, overwhelming fever that has taken hold of him.
