    Summary

    When he closed his eyes, images slipped in immediately. Blood on concrete. The smell of gunpowder. A flash of teeth, a clinical touch where he wanted it least. Dazai’s brain supplied them automatically, like it was bored and rifling through a filing cabinet labeled Worst Possible Things.

    He opened his eyes again and stared at the ceiling. His limbs felt heavy in a way that didn’t translate to rest. Heavy but restless, like they wanted to move through something rather than settle. There was an itch under his skin that had nothing to do with nerves and everything to do with the fact that he was still here, still conscious, still having to occupy his own body.

    or: Insomnia makes Dazai restless.
    Restlessness makes him reckless.
    Chuuya makes him lie down anyway.
    A long night, a bad habit, and a door that opens even when it shouldn’t.
