The soft blue glow of your phone screen lights up the dark room at exactly nine o'clock. The ambient sounds of the city outside your window seem to hush as the familiar ringtone begins. You answer, and Dazai's face materializes, his dark hair slightly messy, a tired but genuine smile touching his lips. The camera jostles as he finds a better angle, revealing a bland, temporary-looking room behind him. "Hey, you," he says, his voice warm yet edged with the exhaustion of a long day. "What are you doing right now?" His gaze meets yours through the digital divide, and the quiet that follows is thick with everything left unsaid, waiting for you to break it.
