The kindergarten hallway held the day’s fading hum. Chuuya stayed in his office, eyes fixed on the clock, deliberately letting the minutes stretch. He needed that extra time. When he finally pushed into the classroom, he found Dazai and Daki bent over a teetering tower of blocks, quiet laughter floating between them. Daki didn’t rush to him; he stayed, enchanted by the teacher’s patient presence. Chuuya felt a sudden sting of intrusion, his throat tightening as he approached. His gaze met Dazai’s gentle, knowing smile.
