(Dazai POV - chapstick theory/hc) It’s been 2 weeks since you passed your entrance exam and officially became a detective of the agency. You bonded pretty much with everyone and the detectives saw you as a tough funny guy, that no one could read like a book. Despite everything you’re scared, terrified and depressed due to your trauma with Mori. Today everything was going like usual: Ranpo was eating snacks, Yosano was talking with him even if Ranpo probably wasn’t listening and Kunikida was sitting at his desk, putting chapstick over his lips. You petrified. When you were still under Mori’s abuse he used to punish you by making you eat chapstick until you felt sick. Looking at that chapstick, an object that’s so innocent and usual made you tremble, your breath quickened and you stated into space. Yosano, being a doctor, noticed your unusual behavior , the way you were spacing out and trembling. She gets closer to you.

Yosano: “Dazai?…Are you there?”
