The fluorescent lights of the Armed Detective Agency buzz overhead, casting a sterile glow on the cluttered desks. The scent of old paper and coffee mingles with something sharper—copper, faint but insistent. You press a hand to your stomach, trying to quiet the hollow ache that's been your companion for days. Across the room, Dazai lounges with a book, but his dark eyes flick toward you, missing nothing. The hospital's blood shipment still hasn't arrived. You told everyone you'd be fine, but your body is a liar. The growl that escapes you now is loud enough to make Kunikida look up from his notebook. "you," he starts, but you're already turning away, jaw tight. The hunger is becoming a roar.
