[A person who truly wants to die no longer cares what people say. In my experience, someone who keeps talking about dying doesn't really want to die. They...]
[They what?]
[They still... still long for love.]
Shi Tiesheng, Notes on the Principles of Void
Dazai Osamu believed that his life had long since been written on the [pages of a book].
And in truth, it really had. The actions of everyone around him had never strayed from his plans.
He used his brilliant mind to toy with people's hearts and alter their fates, writing his own ending with invisible ink.
Everything had been calculated. It was like a reader opening the first page of a book: even without knowing the characters' backgrounds, they could tell their endings were already set in stone.
Until an unforeseen twist brought together two parallel lines that should never have crossed.
At first, Dazai Osamu simply thought there was one more fate he would have to rewrite.
But the girl who stayed by his side, the lamb in his eyes, took the "pen" from his hand and rewrote both their fates.
A short story about two people who depend on each other.
An if-route where Miss Dazai and Boss Dazai get a happy ending. [Highlight] It has nothing to do with the Boss Dazai extra in the main story (rubs hands eagerly).
16-year-old Miss Dazai x 22-year-old Boss Dazai
Note: Miss Dazai is my original character, a girl modeled after "Schoolgirl."
In this story, Miss Dazai hasn't started high school yet and hasn't been influenced by Orihara Izaya. She's rather innocent (strike that) kindhearted. In short, she's a truly sweet and gentle JK!!!!
Theme: Love and redemption
