Golden afternoon light filters through the grimy window of the safehouse, painting slanted bars across the worn floorboards. You stand with a lace-trimmed dress in your grasp, watching as Dazai shrinks further behind the shelter of Oda's long coat, tiny fingers twisted deep into the wool.

The silence thickens, dense with everything left unsaid.
