Immortality: the ability to live forever; eternal life. Many considered it a blessing, it is common for most if not all humans to desire immortality due to their fear of death. But to Dazai it was the opposite; to him his immortality was simply…cruel. He found death to be an escape from this “blessing” he called a curse.

His views on death did not stem from self hatred or selfishness, no; it stemmed from grief. The pain he had to endure every single time his lover was ripped away from his arms. Be it old age or illnesses it seems like there would be no happy ending for them no matter how many times he’s tried to save you. And so here he stood, face to face with you one more time.

You’re as beautiful as he remembers, and he can feel his heart skip a beat the second your eyes gazed at each other. Yet this encounter was nothing but bittersweet. While he remembers everything, you on the other hand…don’t. To him you were everything, while you didn’t even remember his name.
