Honestly, I can see a pattern here between Rimbaud's death in Fifteen and Oda's death in Dark Era. “The universe is empty and meaningless. Even then, live. There's still beauty to be found in it.”
That’s not very “Just the two of us” of you sir

coping with 119
Did Chuuya ever tell Dazai about the graphite scar though? Does Dazai know about the graphite scar? Had Dazai ever noted the graphite scar before Chuuya was told where it came from? From Higuchi's presence during that scene and the fact that she didn't know who Dazai was in the Guild arc hints at it happening after Dazai has left the PM. Does the number one defender of Chuuya's humanity know about the last little shred of tangible proof there is?

Everyone. Do you realize what this boy is begging for? Do you even fathom the weight of what he just asked?
This is the same boy who declared the lengths he'd go to in order to live wholeheartedly.
And now he's begging to die. Just to save his friends. The only people he can call family. Without even an ounce of hesitation.
The devastation in his eyes. The desperation in his voice. I can't take it anymore-
Beast AU where N survived the events of Storm Bringer in this world and went into hiding again afterwards. The reason Chuuya has so much animosity towards Dazai is because he kept promising they'll go looking for him one day and put an end to him, but Dazai never makes good on that promise.
He always has an excuse, "When I'm executive, I'll have the means to find him.", "Once I'm the Boss." until eventually its just "Later." as he becomes more and more wrapped up in saving Oda. In Chuuya's mind, this get interpreted as Dazai not caring anymore and it messes with his head. He decides that one day he's going to end Dazai too, but not before he makes good on his promise.
Then Dazai dies. Throws himself off a building and makes sure Chuuya wasn't around to prevent it.
He finds out Dazai named him his successor and not only that he left an envelope for him. It contents are N's location. And Chuuya loses it.
After the rampage, after the government subdues him and the Port Mafia- his Port Mafia- gets him out again, Chuuya finds N, has him dragged to headquarters.
This was supposed to be the moment Chuuya finally gets closure, where he finally ends N and prevents him ever hurting anyone else again. Dazai was supposed to be standing at his side when it happened.
But Dazai's not here.
And N can fix that.
So he gets to live, until he does.
Sleeping at last — Saturn 💔
Just the wording… look at those words.
Neither LIGHT nor GRAVITY
Not light being Oda, and gravity Chuuya. The two who understood Dazai the most and were the closest to him. Also both managed to give him a reason to live…
But it’s side B what are we expecting it just hurts on an other level
I have to get this off my chest because the requisite number of SKK posts have crossed my dashboard and I can’t hold it anymore.
SO everyone is familiar with the HC that Chuuya basically admitted to drinking about Dazai leaving the Port Mafia, but allow me to provide more context.
We know that Chuuya states he opened an ‘89 bottle of Pétrus wine the night Dazai left. And Dazai wasn’t kidding when he says Pétrus is exorbitantly expensive. It is a collector’s item. So even a polite 750ml bottle costs something to the tune of five or six thousand dollars or more.
Not only that, but it has an alcohol content of 13.5%, as far as all wine goes it’s a bit higher (average being 12%) with most supermarket wines hovering around 6-8% for scale.
That said, we know two things about Chuuya; 1) the poor lad can’t hold his liquor for shit, and 2) he would not open this bottle like this unless he planned on finishing it.
We also know that Dazai confessed to planting a bomb under his car the night he left.
So allow me to set the scene: Dazai had defected from the Port Mafia, without telling his partner of 3 years. Distraught, Chuuya pops his most expensive bottle because what’s the fucking point, and absolutely trounces it. Finishing the bottle, he stumbles out of the building, beeps his car and it explodes, knocking him on his ass.
And from the ground, in the light of his flaming car he mutters “a’right, a’right… I won’t drink’n’drive…” before passing out in the street.
Prosecution rests.
