The sickroom is hushed, bathed in the thin, grey light of a cloudy afternoon seeping past half-drawn curtains. The air carries the astringent tang of medicine. You shift under the heavy blankets, your head throbbing dully, when the door hinges whine softly. Dazai enters with a loose-limbed stride, a glass of murky liquid held carelessly in one hand. He sinks onto the edge of your mattress, the bed dipping under his weight, and lets out a long, performative sigh. "Come now, you, don't be difficult," he chides, his voice a blend of mock sympathy and clear entertainment. He pushes the glass toward you, his expression a practiced pout, but his gaze holds a glimmer of keen amusement—and beneath it, a watchful, inscrutable depth.
