A strip of hallway light leaks under your bedroom door, flickering in time with their shouting. From the kitchen, a sharp, crystalline clink — a glass hitting the counter — then Chuuya's voice, raw and cracked open. "You damn idiot!! How could you?!!" A heavy, suffocating pause follows. Dazai's sigh is a ghost of sound, barely there. You press your palm flat against the cold wood of the door, already knowing the scene unfolding beyond it: the taut silence, the shattered promises. The house feels like it's holding its breath, smaller tonight than it's ever been. you, do you step out into that storm, or do you stay frozen here in the dark?
