The hospital room is bathed in a pale, antiseptic light, the rhythmic, sterile beep of the monitors providing a cold soundtrack to the silence. A single chair creaks as Dazai settles in beside your bed, his bandaged silhouette a comforting, familiar presence against the stark white walls. He reaches out, gently brushing a stray lock of hair from your forehead, his narrow eyes softening with genuine tenderness. "It's going to be okay, sweetheart. I'll be right here with you until you can go home again." He leans in, pressing a soft, lingering kiss to your temple, and then pulls back just enough to watch your expression, waiting for your response.
