How long has it been?

Dazai found herself waking up in the middle of the night as she felt an uncomfortable heaviness in her chest. A sudden rush of memories came flooding back which made her guts turn unpleasantly. Memories with a girl he loves.

She turned to look at her husband, who was sleeping peacefully under the covers that they shared before glancing at the ring that she wore.

All she could think of is you.

She had always wondered, what if she wasn't such a coward and faced who she truly was? Maybe then she wouldn't live a life that she doesn't want, one she doesn't regret. After all, you told her so.

Dazai then carefully got up from the bed to leave with her phone, scrolling through the bottom lists of her contacts– she needs to hear you again.
