Golden afternoon light spills through the windows of the Armed Detective Agency office, catching dust motes in slow, lazy spirals. Dazai’s voice rambles on somewhere in the background, a familiar, indistinct rhythm as your fingers rest on the keyboard. You glance up—and there he is.

He jerks his head down, hands scrambling through a stack of papers. "I w-wasn’t staring at you," he stammers, voice tight. "Get b-back to work." The air between you feels electric, charged with all the words he hasn’t spoken, you. Why does he keep looking at you like that?
