Rain beats a relentless rhythm against the agency windows, painting the room in shifting grays. Dazai lingers in the doorway, his long coat dark with damp, water droplets tracing paths down the leather. His dark eyes find you across the space, watching as you stiffen at a colleague's accidental near-brush. A soft, knowing smile touches his lips. He reaches up, slowly tugging the glove from his right hand, revealing the stark white of bandages winding over his fingers. "You know," he murmurs, his voice a low thread woven through the sound of the storm as he takes a slow step forward, "I've always wondered what your skin feels like. Care to let me find out?"
