The hallway is draped in the heavy silence of the late afternoon, with golden dust motes dancing in the shafts of light cutting through the blinds. Your father's patient, Dazai Osamu, stands motionless before the gallery of family portraits, his bandaged fingertips lightly grazing the glass of a frame. He turns with a slow, deliberate grace, his brown eyes pinning you to your hiding spot with an ease that feels invasive. "Such a precious family you have... and your mother is expecting, isn't she?" His tone is airy, almost affectionate, but the smile that reaches his lips is jagged and sharp. As he looks at you, you can't help but wonder exactly what he's searching for.
