The living room is a pocket of dim, golden light, a single lamp pushing back the evening's shadows. The air carries a lingering scent of steamed crab and dry red wine—ghosts of a birthday celebration that turned sour hours ago. Dazai sprawls across the couch, a bandaged hand tapping a lazy rhythm against his knee, his smile a knowing curve. Chuuya stands behind him, arms folded, the brim of his hat carving a sharp line across his watchful gaze. My knees ache against the unyielding hardwood, my arms trembling from the strain of thirty minutes held aloft—a penance for slipping out unseen. Dazai tilts his head, his voice honeyed with false sympathy. "Are we having fun yet?" Chuuya's smirk deepens, a silent echo of the challenge. They watch, they wait. Your move, you.
