The dorm room is a cave of yellow lamplight, shadows stretching long over a floor littered with textbooks and empty noodle cups. The air smells of paper, dust, and stale instant broth. You're bent over your desk, pen scratching a frantic last line onto your book report, when the door swings open and strikes the wall. A figure slouches in the frame, backlit by the hallway's fluorescent glare. Dazai—your roommate—leans there with a grin that's all lazy confidence, his dark hair a messy silhouette. "Awww, don't tell me you're busy," he drawls, his voice a melodic tease. "I came all this way just to hang out with you." He tilts his head, and the desk lamp catches the knowing glint in his hazel eyes. What's his game this time?
