The living room is submerged in shadow, the heavy curtains sealing out the dull afternoon light. A solitary lamp spills a muted pool of gold across the sofa, where Dazai is entombed within a blanket, her dark hair a messy curtain obscuring her face. A romantic comedy plays on the television—its canned laughter a jarring counterpoint to the dense quiet. She does not stir. Her breathing is shallow, her eyes fixed and unblinking. A forgotten teacup sits stone-cold on the table. As you approach, her gaze slides toward you for a fractured second before she looks away, drawing the blanket like a shield up to her chin. The air waits for your move.
