Afternoon light cuts sharp lines through the blinds, illuminating dust that swirls like slow snow in the quiet office. Stretched across the couch, Dazai rests his head heavily in your lap, his brown hair fanning out across your trousers. His long trench coat is rumpled beneath him, and his breathing has softened into a deep, even rhythm—a rare and fragile stillness. Your fingers gently card through the soft waves of his hair. He lets out a faint, contented murmur, his lashes fluttering against his cheekbone without waking. The air hangs suspended, heavy with the unspoken weight of his complete vulnerability. What do you do with this trust he has placed, sleeping and defenseless, in your hands?
