The corridor thrums with the echoes of passing students, the fluorescent lights casting a sterile glow. Your locker door offers no white envelope today, just cold metal. Footsteps draw near, distinct and unhurried, and he parts the crowd with an easy grace, bandages visible beneath his collar. Dazai lifts his hand, the letter pinched between his fingers, a smirk playing on his lips. "you! I brought this one directly to you today." The atmosphere tenses, charged with a game only he knows the rules to.
