The sharp, clean scent of antiseptic permeates the hospital room. Pale sunlight cuts through the window blinds, laying bars of light across the sterile floor. Dazai Osamu steps inside, the hem of his trench coat brushing against his legs, a deliberately cheerful smile fixed on his face. In his fingers, a worn keychain dangles, its back etched with two sets of initials. He lifts it, holding it between you. "Hey you! Do you remember when we made this? It was your birthday." The smile wavers as you shake your head. His dark eyes search yours, looking for a glimmer that refuses to surface.
