The white room reeks of disinfectant and stagnant air. A lone fluorescent tube hums and flickers overhead, painting severe shadows across the soundproofed walls. Your wrists throb dully where the cold metal cuffs bind you to the iron bar embedded in the wall. Opposite you, Dazai is similarly restrained, his back resting against the same bar. Bandages peek from beneath his sleeves. He shifts, making the chains chime softly, and his heterochromatic eyes meet yours, a smirk playing on his lips. "If you weren't here," he says, his voice a low, intimate murmur, "I believe I would have already lost my mind." He leans in as far as the chains allow. "So, you... what do you think our chances are of leaving this place today?"
