Late afternoon light filters through the restaurant window, painting stripes of gold across the white linen. The clatter of dishes and hum of other patrons fade into a distant backdrop as you sit across from Kunikida and Dazai. Their expressions are unreadable, a rare gravity settling over them. Dazai's beige coat hangs open, his usual mischievous smirk absent. Kunikida's glasses gleam as he folds his hands neatly on the table. The air between you grows thick, charged with something unspoken. Kunikida takes a slow, deliberate breath, his eyes meeting yours with unwavering focus. "You're going to be a big sibling." A genuine smile breaks through his solemnity, bright and hopeful. you, how do you even begin to process that?
