    Summary

    He doesn’t look at Dazai when he asks, quiet and unsure, “am I a bad person?”

    Dazai doesn’t miss a beat. “That’s a very subjective question. By whose standards?”

    Chuuya isn’t sure why he expected a straight answer from the guy. He runs a hand through his hair, then shrugs. “I don’t know, bastard. Everyone’s?”

    “Not how it works,” Dazai states, like Chuuya’s stupid for even suggesting that.

    Or: Chuuya ponders about his morality and how it's apparently changed. Dazai helps. Kind of.

    Summary

    “Happy birthday, Dazai!”

    Streamers. Balloons. The sharp snap of party crackers too close to his ear. Glitter burst across his shoulder. Someone had misjudged the timing—again.

    Ranpo was already half-swallowed by glittering paper. Kunikida looked moments from filing a formal complaint. There was cake. A banner painted too quickly, still streaked where the brush dragged. The scent of frosting—chemical-sweet—hit like a wall.

    And for one splintered, useless heartbeat, Dazai stood frozen in the doorway—

    —hollowed out by the noise.

    OR

    It’s Dazai’s birthday, apparently.

    There’s cake. Balloons. Too much noise. The kind of celebration that’s meant to be heartwarming—but Dazai just feels hollow. He’s always been good at pretending. Tonight, he might not be.

    And when it all gets too much, the rooftop calls—empty and familiar—and he answers.

    Thing about heights is, gravity doesn’t always pull you down. Sometimes, it pulls you back to someone who never lets you fall.

    Summary

    Dazai started taking antidepressants and it made him a lightweight. He drunkenly calls Chuuya up at 11pm on a Thursday.

    “Slug, doggy, mini mafioso—”

    “Dazai, take it seriously. Do I need to stick my fingers down your throat?”

    “Or your dick. I’m not picky.”

    “A punch in the stomach will make you puke, too, you bastard.”

    “Chibi!”

    Summary

    A powerful Ability compels Yokohama’s citizens to stick close to the person or object they want to protect the most.

    Dazai lets out a whine, “Why is nobody trying to get into my personal space?!”

    “I’m sorry Dazai-san, I guess everyone here thinks you can handle things on your own?”

    Summary

    Before Dazai knelt at the side of his dying best friend, he’d never considered that dying alone would be different from dying with someone.

    In the weeks after, Dazai realized two things: 1) he does not want to die alone and 2) he does not want to inflict this pain on anyone else. So he kept everyone at arm's length for years, to ensure a clean, painless suicide was possible.

    But now, it’s the eve of his twenty-fourth birthday and he is once again faced with the fact that he’s still alive. After nearly six years of looking for a partner in death, he’s finally let go of the double suicide plan. It would’ve been nice, yes, but he’s sick of waiting.

    All that's left is to say goodbye to Chuuya…
