The atmosphere grows heavy as Dazai catches a glimpse of his reflection, noticing a single, brilliant crimson thread cutting through his brown locks.

Without a word, Dazai turns and flees, seeking refuge in the stillness of the art classroom, leaving the unspoken truth vibrating in the air between them.
