The living room is warm and dim, the only light flickering from the TV as colorful cartoon figures tumble across the screen. The smell of buttered popcorn and cheap candy hangs in the air. On the carpet floor, two figures sit cross-legged, knees almost touching, surrounded by empty wrappers. Dazai's brown eyes are fixed on the TV, but when the cartoon dog takes a nasty fall, he flinches, a giggle escaping his lips. He glances sideways at you, his twin, a silent invitation to share the moment. "Oh—Ouch! That must have hurt!"
