PUM10 + "Missing Persons" Video

My vacation is off to a great start! Time to indulge in mooncakes! I'm also very happy to have reached double digits for the chapter count, considering I published this story last year.

Not only did I squeeze the entire "treasure hunt" into a single chapter, but I also included THREE character deaths before ending the chapter with a minor cliffhanger (all events adapted from "Our Unwinding Ethos" episode 20). As much as I wanted to make Shun a short-lived suspect (due to what MIGHT have happened to Shiori), I decided against it so that I could keep the plot moving. For now, he will be 100% on Alice's side & helping her solve this insanely weird murder mystery.

The next chapter will feature Dan's cheesy attempt to imitate Alice's catchphrase, Shun briefly showcasing some of his knowledge, & the missing piece tying all the murders together!

;; roommates au !

now playing roommates, malcolm todd

—Imagine seeing yourself on the reflection of glass doors leaning against steel fencing with your roommate Dazai sitting next to you on the bars. A cigarette hanging lowly on the corner of his lip, gazed with a stern yet too curious of a look when you struggled getting the lighter to work. Failing to catch the fire on your own cigarette. Attempting for once, twice, thrice; Dazai takes the lighter away from your grasp. Immediately doing so, a perplexed expression began to draw on your face. Dazai couldn't help but chuckle at both things. "...Now, now—"

He flicks a finger to try lighting it as well however to no avail. The brunet snickers. "It's clearly broken, [name]. This part isn't even in good shape after all." To put it casually, "Must've been the cause." Dazai rubs his thumb around the pusher to point it to you. "...Not to mention, the nuzzle seemed chipped."

You scoff, eyebrows furrowing together.

"Explain to me how that worked for you earlier and not me." You ask rather bluntly while staring at him. Crossing arms, Dazai could only slump back his head to the darken skies almost sluggish—a moment of exchange. A snicker off his tongue "Probably the last drag the poor lighter could take?" Irises rolling back to now glare at your unlit piece just staying in-between your mouth. Meanwhile some smoke leaves his lips, gracing the air akin to a reckless degree, undoubtedly. "Luckily enough, I know another way of lighting it." He proposes with a smirk.

Your hand drifts across the rod, "Right... I'll just find another one in our dorm—" You tell him, reluctantly deciding to, until Dazai blocks your way and view to the door. Pressing body to body together as he leans towards you, head tilted with a snarky grin. (However somewhat sheepish.) A glimmer of playfulness reflect to his eyes "Don't move..." Two fingers capturing your chin and brought your face to his, nearly stumbled surprised from the gesture—Dazai pressing his lit cigarette butt against your piece. Slowly igniting it, careful, fearing to unintentionally causing harm... A trail of smoke then leaves into the air, filling with nothing but terrible tastes for one another's lungs...

Though the space between two of you was cramped by nothing but sensuality, however. Distance barely imaginable, leaning close to each other—some form of comfort. Failing to realize the consciousness to it as if stuck in a trance.

You simply couldn't help it.

Hazy touches from his lanky fingers, barely touching but also touching too much at the same time. Your focus falling flat as much as your cigarette was at the moment if Dazai hadn't caught the piece and rightfully adjusted your head, catching no attention when he brushed some finger on your lips and fixated towards your eyes... Blissful, lovely, you refused to believe how this was even happening... Dazai being this affectionate towards you currently.

Was it wrong, weird... maybe even a bit messed up in a way? Quick to pin how undeniably sweet Dazai was in that moment specifically? It was clear, plain to how you were strictly roommates with the guy. Feelings surfacing randomly from the deepest pit of your heart and mind, complicated, emotions scrambled and unorganized; the more you kept thinking about it. It has to be brief, then. Nothing more, correct? It would feel inconsistent if...

...No, you can't help it.

An annoyed appearance from you in exchange for mischievous glints practically shining in his eyes, while the atmosphere perks in tension.

You take a step away from Dazai once he finishes.

"I had to, [name]." Dazai mumbles, a hand now caressing a part of your arm while the other combs his own hair as if nothing occurred. Shameless, you'd think to yourself. You turn your eyes away sharply from his, "You're disgusting..." You would grumble despite the obvious smile on your face. He was—at the very least—lucky enough to be adorable. You'll let it slide for now.

we stand in the shadow of gods we made before the end of civilisation; beneath the arbour we find the shade of a promise (un)fulfilled-- our future, wrapped in green and gold.
