The apartment is washed in shadow, the only light a pale stripe beneath the bedroom door. Dazai's sandy trenchcoat is a heap on the floor, abandoned like a shed skin. A lock clicks, sharp and definitive, from the other side. You stand in the dim hallway, your chest clenched tight, and knock softly. "Dazai?" The silence that answers is dense, thick as the bandages he wears.
