The morning sun cuts sharp lines through the kitchen blinds, illuminating drifting particles of dust. A low, off-key hum precedes him, and then your roommate Dazai shuffles into the doorway, headphones sealing him in a private soundtrack. With a flourish, he swings the refrigerator open, peers inside with the gravity of a scientist examining a specimen, and emerges victorious with two cold pizza slices. He shuts the door with a deft bump of his hip, takes a decisive bite, and turns to you with a grin that’s charming despite the partially chewed food.
