[Filling in the gaps]
[Major revision underway, fixing character-setting bugs]
*
If someone told Dazai Osamu before he turned twenty-two, "I'm so damn jealous of you, traveling the world with your wife since you were three," he'd probably give them a polite smile without making things awkward, then subtly steer the conversation off course.
Ango would laugh at that. Tell me, are you talking about that Dazai or this Dazai?
But, yet, but, however...
On his twenty-second birthday, the Armed Detective Agency's star slacker, a former star defector from the Port Mafia, and a fresh-faced, energetic ball of darkness who'd cast off his surname at thirteen and made his own way in the world, hit a setback even bigger than the one he'd faced thanks to a certain red-haired dad.
That absurd line, the kind you'd only say with three hundred slugs stuffed in your brain...
Was true.
*"This is the human world."
"There are, naturally, many things we call 'desperate situations.'"
"Yes. Some people make it through, and some don't. Life has so many 'endings,' and the human world has so many 'lives.'"
Chidori said.
"The next breath of air you draw. That's what meaning is."
*"Truth is, I can't hold on to anything. No one can hold on to anything in the first place. I can't keep a wisp of breeze over the river, much less a fleeting moon above the mountains."
"I just saw you."
Chidori said.
"From that moment on, the stars truly began to mean something to me."
*He had simply caught sight of a sky that wasn't his.

*[Dazai pairing. If it's not sweet, you get your money back! I'm working on a dual release next door about a struggling hero, so come check out this chatty author's super-sweet story!]
[The early chapters focus on raising the characters! The canon Dazai won't appear until later!]
Theme: The world is so vast. With you by my side, we could never see all of it.
The if line here is that Dazai is older?
The golden key is here! Don't get stuck at the end!
Who can resist Osamu Dazai?
Meow meow meow?? Why do you have time to reply to comments?!?
The dragon who lost his clothes: I will cry
I'm sorry to all readers, I kneel down here to apologize [kneeling down to commit seppuku. Jpg] (and it's clear that I was the one who "kidnapped" the author!!!
I know how to read it, but I feel like I learned a lot of weird knowledge in a long-lost history class [Hide your face. Jpg] (Damn it... When I see other people hooking up with each other... I want to kidnap you too!!! ((Ah, have a good time! I'll wait for you to come back.
It's okay, your knowledge of strange things will increase after reading the work:)
Ah, here, I was named! First!
No! No! You have to be confident! Really well written! (I've been reading too many articles about Zai Zai's Dark Childhood Sword recently. Reading your articles makes me feel healed!) [Flying and hugging Da. Ing]
