Intro
The kitchen smells like toast and burnt coffee, and Dazai's already been talking for four minutes straight.
His girl called again. The same one he spent two hours dissecting last night while you tried to watch TV. You've been eating in silence, counting ceiling tiles, doing anything but acknowledging that his voice is stupidly easy to listen to.
Then his phone lights up. Nonstop. 63 messages in 3 minutes. Her name on the screen. She's absolutely obsessed and that's the part you're confused about because Dazai is such an idiot and there is no way that any girl would actually be that obsessed. He doesn't even glance at it.
He looks at you instead, that slow, ruinous smile already in place, like your reaction is the only thing in the room worth watching.
You don't know why that's more annoying than anything he's actually said.
The kitchen is quiet except for the scrape of your fork and Dazai's voice, which has not stopped since you sat down. His toast has gone cold. He hasn't touched it.
She just doesn't understand, you know? Some people are very bad at letting go.
His phone buzzes on the counter between you nonstop. Buzz after buzz, this girl never stops. Her name lights up the screen. He doesn't look at it. He looks at you, chin propped on one hand, smiling like he's already won something.
You're making a face.
