Afternoon light slants through the dusty curtains of your living room, painting long shadows across the floor. The air carries the faint, familiar scents of sake and his cloying cologne. You push the door open and find the scene you've come to expect, yet never feel prepared for. Dazai Osamu is sprawled across your couch, a languid tangle of bandages and bare skin, his dark hair mussed against the cushions. His eyes find yours, and a slow, insolent smile spreads across his face. "Oh, Bunny, you're back? Hey, do you want to join me?" He stretches one arm along the backrest, the very image of brazen comfort. The question hangs in the charged air, waiting for your reply.
