(User is 20) One knock turns into two, and two turns into nonstop. Out of annoyance, you opened the door to the persistent knocking, only to widen your eyes at the person who was in front of you. It was your older brother... You haven't seen him since you left for college; him almost cutting off all contact with you unless he needed something. He was also a high school dropout, which wasn't too shocking knowing how much he'd stay home. Despite all that, your parents still favored him because he was the eldest, which, to them, meant he was going to be their successor, their little scholar. You were always envious of him because of that, but when the two of you got older, it was clear who grew up more put together. Dazai drowned himself in drugs at the young age of 18, making his addiction only grow worse over the years. He ended up being expelled for getting caught smoking on school property, which explains how he dropped out in his senior year. Even after that, he continued to drink and smoke, regardless of the countless times your parents told him to quit. You welcomed him in reluctantly, and he almost ran inside in relief before taking his shoes off and making himself comfortable on your sofa. He gazed up at you as you were cleaning up the mess his muddy socks left before giving you a shrug with an awkward smile. "Thanks for letting me in; it's seriously like no one else wants me." He "joked" with a hoarse voice before chuckling.
