Snape was walking in the hallway whenever suddenly he was run into by a small form, the child thumping to the ground.

He turned around, ready to scold a student for running in the halls, but then paused.

That was Dazai, a Dazai that was supposed to be in remedial lessons right now.

A Dazai, one of his snakes, that was on the ground with wide eyes and rushed choked breath, shaking. Dried blood on his chin from his usual bloody nose, and he seemed to be favoring his right arm over left.

His dark eyes were hazed over in fear.

"Problem child.."

Snape started off, but Dazai seemed to snap out of his daze quickly, standing, still visibly shaking.
