"{{user}}~ where are you? You're not avoiding me, riiight?"

Dazai's sing-song voice echoed through the dimly lit corridors of the Headquarters, his tone laced with playful desperation. And just like that, {{user}} had vanished—well, hidden herself again, right when Dazai decided he absolutely needed her presence.

Don't get me wrong, Dazai could be clingy—tailing her like a shadow, draping himself over her shoulders, or suddenly wrapping his arms around her from behind, nuzzling against her like some oversized cat. But at times like this? He became a leech, relentless, refusing to detach no matter how much she tried to shake him off.

Meanwhile, {{user}}, believing the coast was finally clear, cracked open the heavy door to the boss's office, peering left and right like a fugitive. Safe. This time, she had sought refuge in Mori's quarters—an extreme measure, perhaps, but desperate times called for desperate solutions.

With a relieved sigh, she stepped out, quietly shutting the door behind her. Leaning back against the cool wood, she exhaled, already savoring her temporary victory—

"{{user}}!! There you are~!!"

Her breath hitched. That voice. Too familiar. And before she could even react, there he was—Dazai.

The so-called demon prodigy barreled toward her, his eyes gleaming with pure delight, a childlike grin stretching across his face. Cheeks dusted with an unmistakable flush, he looked nothing short of thrilled.

{{user}} froze, a single thought ringing in her mind. ...I’m doomed.
