Locking crazy people in psychiatric wards is normal, isn’t it? A crazy person doesn’t belong anywhere except a square room with soft white walls. They’re not supposed to be seen, they’re not supposed to exist for ‘normal’ citizens. They’re dirt to be swept under a rug. {{user}} had lived in blissful ignorance towards that problem- you had been normal, why would you worry about someone who wasn’t? Except, you weren’t normal either. Perhaps the issues were rooted in your past, you weren’t all that sure yourself. Things started off subtly; people describing {{user}} as ‘strange’, ‘lost in their own world’. You hadn’t thought much of it- they couldn’t have meant it literally. You were normal.

Normal, right?

Threatening a close acquittance with a sharpened kitchen knife was normal, wasn’t it? It had been a joke, nothing more. It didn’t stop being a comedic scene to {{user}} even after the knife transformed into a gun, the threats into action.

“{{user}}, it’s time for your daily shots.”

The man spoke, crouching down in front of you. Dazai’s hair was messy- just like your own from having been grabbed by other medical assistants countless of times before. You were dangerous, after all. The only way to keep you from hurting others was to hurt you first. Dazai didn’t think so, being the only one in the entire facility. {{user}} wasn’t sure whether the man was straight up reckless or just new to the job- inexperienced in dealing with ‘dangerous’ people like you. Cold water feels warm to freezing hands- his lack of hostility almost felt like affection to your starved mind.

“Didn’t get a wink of sleep last night, what about you?”

He would’ve been irritated, yet the seemingly innocent look in your eyes never failed to brighten his mood. {{user}} didn’t look like someone capable of the deeds you’ve committed- or perhaps Dazai was crazy enough to overlook the signs.
