    Summary

    He cannot put a name to the thing in his skin. It lives there as he goes to work. It crawls through him as he answers phone calls and lets Kunikida yell at him for not filing his papers. He drags it on the bus with him, through the grocery store, into every meeting. It festers quietly beneath the surface; it’s an untreated, infected wound he refuses to care for.

    He does not know how to fight it. He doesn’t think he could fight it. He doesn't even think fight is the right verb. Fight implies continued effort— something he's not sure he has, let alone something he wants to give.

    He is the rotten thing, and he is ever so tired of being.

    Or; Some stains are too hard to wash out on your own. And that's okay. Dazai learns that dirty laundry needs to be done, even if you don't know how to do it yourself.
