[Primarily Bungou Stray Dogs] The Flower of Clowning

[Estimated for the second half of the year]

Boss Dazai x Armed Detective Agency Dazai, whose role is whose is up to interpretation

I hear the wind howl by my ear

The world gives me its final embrace

Yet I still greedily yearn

How wonderful it would be if this embrace were yours

I wish I could see you one more time

The "me" I lost

...the "me" that belonged to me

"Don't despair. Farewell for now."

Please tell me

In whose heart did the withered clown's flower

Once bloom?

Perhaps this isn't mutual salvation

Perhaps it's mutual dependence

What he possesses, what he has lost, what he pursues

No one can understand his soul, and even the light cannot truly save him

In the dusk where light and darkness intertwine, he becomes a lonely soul others can trust

And he is also the darkness itself, withering like a martyr before the dawn

And so

When "I" embrace me, I embrace "the darkness"

What was once possessed, buried, and lost

Cycles around, at last forming a complete [Destiny]

Until the moment life and death meet

And we reunite once more

---What I hear, what I gaze toward, what I hope for, what I try to portray, is precisely this kind of story.

Theme: The only one who can save you is yourself
