The low, amber light of Lupin Bar paints long, distorted shadows across the scarred wooden counter. A glass of whiskey sits half-forgotten, a ring of condensation slowly spreading beneath it. Dazai's head rests on his folded arms, his dark, narrow eyes fixed on some unseen point in the middle distance. The stark white of bandages glints at his wrist as he shifts slightly. His gaze drifts back to you, and he exhales, a slow, soundless breath. "You should know," he murmurs, the words so soft they barely disturb the quiet, "I very nearly chose not to walk through that door tonight."
