   Summary

   I pick up his hands. They are cold. I wonder why. Why now? Was I not enough?

   OR

   Dazai achieves his goal, but in doing so, leaves Chuuya behind, Chuuya must now learn to navigate the grief of losing him a second time and letting all of Dazai's loved ones know about his death.

   He doesn't do it well.
