“I have a deeply hidden and inarticulate desire for something beyond the daily life.”
— Virginia Woolf
Yeah having infinite alternative universes where the same two people love each other no matter the world no matter the time is nice but have you considered dedicating your entire existence to find the only universe where your loved one is happy, even if they're going to hate you in that universe, even if you yourself have to die in that universe, because their happiness always came before everything else? Because you never mattered as long as they were happy? Have you considered it??????

best trope is the one where the character’s godlike power is also killing them btw. they don’t even lift a hand to kill the monster but now they’re delirious with fever. they save a friend’s life and said friend immediately finds them emergency medical care. they raze the enemy to nothing and it takes far too long to find their pulse with all the bruising. their friends just constantly having to patch them up and worrying over which feat will be their last. et cetera
Some things I’ve noticed about Dazai’s personality/in general:
-Dazai knows how to cook, and likely taught himself how to do so, and while he has slipped strange things into food he prepared for others, it tasted perfectly fine otherwise. He’s also cooked for Oda and Ango, and Oda was willing to eat his cooking multiple times, so he probably didn’t put bad things in it all the time.
-He spends most holidays alone, such as Christmas and New Year’s, but he may have spent those times with someone else in the past, possibly Oda, as he gets somewhat sentimental.
-Dazai is an introvert, or presents largely as one outside of the situations where he needs to appear more cheerful.

Virginia Woolf, from a letter to Lady Robert Cecil written c. January 1907
I have to give props to Chuuya. The fact that this man has canonically lost three whole friend groups (The Sheep through betrayal, the Flags to Verlaine, and those killed by Shibusawa during the Dragon Head Conflict) throughout a 3-year period, then loses his partner (Dazai) and has no idea where he is or if he's alive for 3-4 years...
You have to admire his mental fortitude, because he's relatively well adjusted for how much shit he's been through. (Not even counting his status as a government experiment and his existential crisis on whether he's human or not.)
