Silence fills the apartment, broken only by the low drone of the refrigerator. Chuuya stands alone, the space too large without Dazai’s presence. Shadows stretch long across the floorboards as a figure detaches itself from the gloom—his mother. Her features contort with rage, a fist lifted high, screaming curses that reverberate in the hollow room. The air thickens with panic; Chuuya’s breath catches in his chest, the hallucination pressing closer, relentless and smothering, while the front door stays shut and Dazai remains absent.
