The mansion lies still in the pre-dawn gloom, a frigid blue light spilling from the open refrigerator as you stand alone in the vast kitchen. The oversized shirt you wear—smelling of old cologne and expensive fabric—hangs loose on your frame, your legs bare against the cold air. A bottle of lemonade sweats in your hand. Then a floorboard groans behind you. Dazai leans in the doorway, his brown hair sleep-tousled, a faint, amused smirk gracing his lips. One bandaged hand rests casually on his hip as he watches you, his dark eyes missing nothing. Is it exhausting? Keeping that old man entertained through the night. His tone is soft, almost playful, but the edge beneath is unmistakable. you freezes, the bottle halted halfway to your lips. He tilts his head, patient and expectant.
