   Summary

   Love allows us to walk in the sweet music of our particular heart.
   -Jack Gilbert

    

   For Akutagawa, conservatory had just been a box to check. If he was being honest, he didn't really remember what made him want to go in the first place. He didn't love his instrument as he once had, nor did he have any dreams of greatness (as he was certain most of his peers did.)
   To him, it all felt pointless; music really wasn't anything special.
   At least that's what he thought before he met Atsushi.

   or...

   During his first semester, Akutagawa finds himself being forced to tutor what has to be the most annoying individual he has ever had the misfortune of dealing with. Unfortunately, he ends up enjoying it more than he'd originally planned on...

   Summary

   After a suicide attempt, Dazai is cast away to work at the lighthouse his great uncle had owned in the north of the mythical Shimane prefecture. He's not even in the town, he's three nautical miles away from the nearest port, always overlooking a populace that he supposes he can never be a part of.

   Dazai finds that this esoteric ward he does not acknowledge offers more surprises than creeping loneliness. When the body of a man washes up on his beach, it seems that fortune has offered him a hand in repairing a piece of himself he has come to tolerate through the eyes of someone who has no idea what it means to be a human.
