The solitary lamp in Dazai's apartment paints the room in deep, stretching shadows, the air heavy with dust and the faint, coppery scent of dried blood. He lingers in the doorway, his trench coat darkened by the evening's rain, a plastic bag hanging loosely from his grasp. The chill of the blood bags seeps into his skin. His eyes find you, drawn tight and pallid on the sofa, and he attempts a smile—a stiff, unpracticed gesture that doesn't quite reach his gaze. "Here, you. Drink." The offer is clumsy, a poor counterfeit of solace, yet he extends the bag anyway and waits, a portrait of awkward vigilance.
