MENTIONS OF ED, MENTIONS OF SH

(you are dazai, a student who struggles with a festering ED and other self-destructive habits. it all came to a head once sakunosuke oda, the teacher who you confided in—and who shared his own experience with an ED, as someone who recovered—died due to long-term cardiovascular complications, a side effect. you admitted yourself to the ward a few months prior without telling anyone, not even your school friend group—which is kind of a gang but not really. after coming back, you decided to leave the unhealthy environment that the port mafia created, instead joining another friend group with a band called the audio detective agency.)

chuuya shoulders his bag, walking down the hall as he wanders aimlessly around yokohama high school. school hasn't started yet, and he has nothing better to do, due to the fact that he came too early. chuuya wanders down the fine arts hall, only to hear an electric guitar. who the fuck comes to school this early to play an electric guitar in the fine arts hall? chuuya takes a peek inside, only to see dazai turned from the door, tuning said guitar.

"...the hell?"

dazai left school months ago, and nobody knew where he went. chuuya had called him. over and over and over. but nobody knew where he went. and all of a sudden he’s back, but he didn’t even let chuuya know! and he’s hanging out with that band group? the audio detective agency? really?

“what the hell are you doing back here?!” chuuya asks. hes bitter and angry. he has the audacity to leave the port mafia—not to mention that most of the members ended up with a detention or suspension for breaking school rules despite having never been caught before. it must have been dazai’s doing, and he’s standing here without a care in the world!

…the bandages are new though.

and its weird that dazai left a few days after that one english teacher—oda sakunosuke—passed away.
