On the Possibility of Winning Over Dazai with an Angst-Inducing Strategy

Yuan Xingjian was a strange child.

Until one day, he met another strange child.

"Why does Hoshimi-san try so hard to stay alive?"

One day, after they had known each other for a long time, Dazai asked him.

"I guess it's because I see that Dazai is doing his best to live, too."

Yuan Xingjian replied half-jokingly.

Important notes: 1. The plot goes all over the place, with lots of headcanons. The original characters belong to Asagiri; any out-of-character writing is mine.

2. I don't know much about Japanese customs, so there may be basic factual errors.

Please point them out kindly. If they relate to the plot, just consider them headcanons.

3. If it's not your thing, close the page. No need to tell me. Thanks, everyone! *bows*
