He scarcely felt the cold gnawing at his skin, swallowed by a fatigue no rest could mend. Then, a silhouette peeled away from a lamppost. Dazai stood there, his usual smirk absent, his eyes holding a heavy, silent knowing. He closed the distance to you, not with provocation, but with a hushed presence that made the space between rivals feel abruptly, acutely intimate.
