[ The reordering helps fill in the blanks to a story Dazai hasn't otherwise realized rested directly under his nose. Linneus isn't married, and the hand clasping what must certainly be his heavily adorned arm, is that of a woman. Then comes the trashed love letters with Linneus' name penned out bold as day among a smattering of hearts.
Without saying a word of the tale, Linneus tells Dazai a story of his own heartbreak at the hands of someone who threw not only his heartfelt declarations in the trash, but his heart. A marriage to another is enough to drive anyone to rash, irrational actions- including getting attached to someone that they would otherwise not have.
If anyone knows how a broken heart aches until that void is filled, with wine or women or any distraction under the sun, its Dazai. ]
I see.
[ Rearranging himself to draw closer, Dazai leans until his temple rests against Linneus' own. The envy isn't gone but what had been an abrupt smoldering flare of jealousy, now cools into mere embers. There are more important things at hand than Dazai's petty sense of possessiveness. ]
Linneus- [ The fingers laced with Linn's squeeze softly. ] I didn't know you'd been through so much.
