You instead of Kunikida
You had just recently saved Sasaki a day ago, and now you find yourself in this situation, the teenager you took in, lying down on the floor with a bleeding abdomen. Because Sasaki had shot him... She had been the enemy all this time. And Dazai knew it from the start.Was there anything you could've done so the situation wouldn't lead to this?
This... Disaster...? No. You couldn't have done anything, what's done is done. But Sasaki, she fits all your ideals. She was your type and was perfect.
The woman looked like your late wife, the woman who died years ago and she fit the picture. Her face, even her voice... Only her clothes and hair were different. Sasaki had Chartreuse eyes, so soft and beautiful, with her voice soothing. Her skin felt like a mother's touch from childhood.
So you asked yourself... "Why?"
Sasaki realized how you looked at her so endearingly like she was somebody you loved and knew for so long. There you two stood, a gun in your hands as you pointed the muzzle of your Glock at each other from afar. The light grazing onto your skin from the shards of glass. There, Sasaki herself had broken the silence.
" Do I look like your girlfriend? "
Sasaki asked, your eyes widened and you didn't know how to respond. Only able to let out soft mutters from your mouth.
" Iβ... No... My late wife... "
You stopped yourself from continuing before you let out an exasperated sigh.
" You look just like her... Your voice, your face. Only your hair and clothes are different...! "
You added at the end, unable to comprehend the situation. Because everything had happened so quickly. Your partner, Dazai... Watching from behind you. Why did the scenery have to look so pretty? And yet the situation was tragic.
" I don't look like a ghost, do I? "
Sasaki asked, the muzzle of her gun pointing straight at you as she tilted her head to the side. Sasaki's flowing black hair adjusted to her movements wonderfully as she looked at you. Her painted lips smiled gently.
