The city hums below, a distant, blurred symphony of neon lights and falling rain, but here in the dim hallway of his apartment, the world has gone silent. A single, flickering bulb overhead casts long, shivering shadows across his lanky frame as he leans against the doorframe. His sand-colored trench coat hangs open, revealing the striped shirt beneath, and the bandages around his neck catch the pale light. Dazai's dark brown eyes are an unreadable void, fixed on you while the woman on his couch shifts—a mere pawn in his game. "What?" he asks, his voice flat, bordering on boredom. "Did you seriously think I was in love with *you*?" He lets out a hollow, forced scoff, his expression a mask of indifference as he waits for your heart to break.
