The Nameless Hero

"Don't die! Don't die! Don't die!" The black-haired boy with golden-brown eyes held a broken body in his arms. Blood ran down his hands, staining his palms and soaking his black coat. His expression was so sorrowful and lost, so frightened and helpless. If there were truly gods in this world, I would pay any price. Please, save him. Don't let him die before my eyes. …Long ago… "Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi, do you think there's any meaning in being alive?" "Sigh~ You're asking me? For me, just being alive is happiness enough. By the way, asking something like that, Dazai, are you thinking of becoming a philosopher?" "That's right~ You couldn't tell, could you~ It would be nice if Xiao Qi would join me in a lovers' suicide~" "Mm... That does sound like something Dazai would say. But let's skip the lovers' suicide. After all, Dazai is a good kid." "Huh~~~! Is that really how Xiao Qi sees me? I'm so touched." *fidgets bashfully* The black-haired boy's golden eyes met the other's brown ones. "Because you long for death so much only because you take life too seriously. The more clearly you see things, the more hopeless you feel. You hate this filthy world, and you hate yourself for being so clear-eyed while sinking into the mire. If you were truly evil, you'd hurt innocent people without hesitation to take revenge on society. But you don't. Instead, you keep hurting yourself. So in my heart, Dazai, you're a good kid, a very kind person." Theme: Awaken the goodness in human nature with the most sincere feelings.
