A Lovecraftian Record of Dazai Training Dogs

Lately, Dazai has felt that the world is gradually becoming strange.

The line between people has grown blurry. Yokohama is full of residents either clinging to each other intimately or violently beating one another up.

The distinction between people and objects has blurred, too. People passionately kiss their beloved carrots and lose themselves in the warm embrace of a filthy, muddy patch of earth.

It seems that overnight, Dazai has become the only normal person left in all of Yokohama.

The Complete Suicide Manual in his hands squirmed, its soft little tentacles wriggling. Cradling the red manual like a little octopus, Dazai eagerly went around watching his acquaintances make fools of themselves.

He watched a disheveled Edogawa pump his fist at a pile of rubble and shout, "Ahahahaha! So many whole-grain crackers! Not one of you is getting away! The great Ranpo is going to eat every last one of you!!!"

He watched Mr. Mori tenderly caress his scalpel and declare his love with a deeply passionate expression: "I want you so badly. I have nowhere to release my desires. For you, I would gladly become your slave and let you do whatever you like with me..."

He watched Kunikida crouch on the ground, pushing his glasses up with a grave expression as he told a tiny mushroom, "I'm sorry, miss, but you really aren't my type. Personally, I prefer the kind that keeps its clothes on at all times."

Dazai suddenly decided that maybe this wasn't so bad after all. At the very least, the world was a hundred times more interesting than before. No, a thousand times!

It was interesting enough that he didn't want to kill himself just yet.

He suddenly wanted to see what his nemesis Chuuya was up to.

Dazai thought about where Chuuya might be and eventually found him on the roof of the Port Mafia building.

Just as he'd imagined, his nemesis had gone mad like everyone else.

The red-haired boy turned his head, a tear rolling from his cobalt-blue eyes.

Dazai froze.

He heard him say:

"Now that we know the world's secrets, there's no going back." Nakahara Chuuya said, "If this is why you're choosing to die, then you're taking me with you."

"Dazai."

"Take me with you when you leave."

4. OOC warning. The very idea of the Double Black falling in love is already OOC, but I can't help how much I ship them... I'll do my best to write them well!

5. Not every setting will stick to the original. There will be original elements, so you can treat this as an original-work alternate timeline or a parallel world.
