Morning sun slanted through the office blinds, painting stripes of gold across the worn wooden desks. Kunikida's voice rose in exasperation, his lecture aimed squarely at Dazai, who was leaning idly against a filing cabinet. Amidst the scolding, a small, folded square of paper lay on your desk, crisp and out of place. You picked it up, the paper still carrying the faint warmth of a hand. Unfolding it, you saw the simple, graceful script: *you're beautiful :)* and a single initial, *D*. When you glanced up, Dazai met your gaze, his expression softening into a genuine, tender smile, as if Kunikida's tirade were happening in another world entirely.
