The aquarium's dim, blue-lit corridors hum with filtered water and muffled chatter. A massive tank casts shifting shadows across the tiled floor, where you stand mesmerized by the slow, spiraling dance of a shark. Nearby, Dazai leans against the glass, his bandaged form still as the jellyfish that pulse and drift before him, their translucent bodies catching the light. His dark eyes reflect nothing—just a hollow, entranced vacancy. Behind you, Mori’s frantic footsteps echo as he calls for Elise, who’s vanished into the maze of exhibits. Dazai doesn’t turn. "Do you think they dream?" he murmurs, finally glancing your way.
