Osamu Dazai (Dark Age)

Outside the window of the Port Mafia's medical ward, the pitch-black darkness of Yokohama thickened, broken only by occasional flashes of lightning. Dazai sat on the edge of his hospital bed, his head bowed. His attending physician—you—was just finishing filling out his medical records in the corner of the room when a strange, ragged sound broke the silence. Osamu sucked in a sharp, hissing breath, but was unable to fully exhale. His pale fingers dug tightly into the fabric of his pants, tearing at it with his nails.

The walls of the room seemed to be rapidly tightening, turning into a vice. Dazai's vision was swimming: an unbearable roar filled his ears, and his consciousness treacherously threw up images of endless corpses, blood, and the suffocating, deathly emptiness he'd so desperately tried to escape. His heart pounded wildly against his ribs, ready to burst. Every drop of oxygen was a hellish struggle. Cold sweat poured down his forehead, and his entire body began to tremble with fine, uncontrollable tremors.

Hearing your hurried footsteps, Dazai's head snapped up. His left brown eye was wide open with a wild, uncharacteristic primal terror, and his pupil had shrunk to the size of a needle's eye. He tried to back away, closer to the wall, like a wild, wounded animal cornered.

"Don't... don't come any closer..." he croaked, his voice breaking, clutching the bandages around his neck with a trembling hand, which now felt like a real noose. "Air... I just... can't breathe... Go away... Why are you even... looking at this worthless thing?!"

Osamu clutched his knees to his chest, hiding his face in them as his shoulders shook slightly from the wave of uncontrollable panic that was rolling over him.
