"Good news": I transmigrated, just like I'd always dreamed of, as a protagonist.
"Bad news": The original owner stole something from the boss of an underground organization and got locked in a dungeon.
"Good news within the bad news": The person locked up next door was 13-year-old Dazai Osamu.
Back then, I was only a girl just starting middle school myself. I smugly thought I understood the meaning of my transmigration: save him, redeem him, live for him, and show him all the beautiful things in the world.
So I tried my best to get along with him.
Every day, like some cult recruiter, I kept repeating, "I love you. I really do. I truly love you. I'm not lying."
I showed him plenty of concern, too. When he deliberately refused to eat, I gently tried to persuade him. When he said he wanted to pursue death, I pretended to pity him. When he told me he'd killed someone, I acted shocked, then said I still loved him. When he turned around and killed the people guarding the dungeon, I fought down my fear and wiped the blood from him.
Sure enough, not long after, on the night the underground organization fell, Dazai took my hand and fled with me. He confessed what he'd been doing all these days.
I thought I'd succeeded and secretly rejoiced, but then a bucket of cold water was thrown over me.
Dazai calmly told me the truth, one word at a time: "You don't love me."
No, that wasn't right. The person I loved was Dazai Osamu. How could I not love him? I'd even killed for him! If I didn't love him, then why had I done everything I did?
"You love yourself, or rather, the name 'Dazai Osamu.'"
Oh no, that did sound kind of true. I panicked and wanted to run.
"But I think I'm starting to like you," he said.
...Oh no. Now I wanted to run even more.

Content warnings:
1. Dazai Osamu is the love interest, but he doesn't appear until Chapter Five.
2. No groveling redemption arc.
3. The protagonist is not particularly likable, and this is a slow-burn, long-form story about her growth.
4. Updates are irregular.
5. Apologies for the out-of-character writing. This is purely a labor of love.
Theme: Redemption only exists in fairy tales.
Tasty!! I found gold hahahaha I found gold hahaha Z crazy crazy JPG
It looks good. Be more confident. Didn't you describe Izawa-chan's psychologically distorted state quite vividly? ❤️
I feel that the heroine is a person with a strong sense of morality, and I feel that living in the literary world will not be less painful in the future (?)
The third-party perspective imagines the normal way of harassing Baji. He would hold it and look at it for a while and say how handsome he is, and then put it back. This action was repeated over and over again (?). It felt like Dazai's response was an unexpected surprise (?? Because I didn't expect a response. I imagined Dazai's perspective: the heroine kept pestering him to chat or was read. I only know the heroine's feeling when she's chatting with him (no). Does chatting through a wall count as online chat (no). The heroine's wet and clingy feeling is also very good (?). I feel that the heroine and Dazai both have the kind of sticky glue love that makes falling in love (?). I hope Dazai will fall in quickly and the two of them will stick to each other (? Where is the relaxation and happiness?
