Chapter 7.7 Double Black
Although Dazai Osamu knew he wouldn't easily fall into the cage of illusion and reality, things like this still had a certain impact on him.
Even though he didn't look much different from his original appearance, Chuuya Nakahara in his dream still noticed some clues.
I have to say, Chuuya really is an intuitive creature...
He also remembered a dream in which Chuuya suddenly approached him and said with a serious expression, "Dazai, if anything happens, you can tell me, and I will help you."
The same Chuuya who used to argue with him over trivial matters suddenly became imposing and powerful. Even though he was still small in stature, he possessed an aura that was impossible to ignore. Just a simple sentence from him made Chuuya hesitate and shrink back.
He stared into the other's cobalt blue eyes and felt as if he were seeing the ocean at dawn. It was probably a sea where the dark shadows were gradually dispelled by the light, exuding a strange charm that lured seafarers into the water.
If it's such a beautiful blue, even if his body sinks deeper and deeper, even if the water has submerged his head and he feels suffocated, he probably wouldn't have any desire to change anything.
[Truly worthy of being called a god...]
A seemingly random thought suddenly popped into his head. He didn't know why he wanted to make that remark, but he had definitely thought about it.
Well, anyway, whatever thoughts or doubts he had, they would gradually disappear into the air along with the dream after he opened his eyes.
He couldn't remember exactly how he answered Chuuya, only that he seemed to have smiled at Chuuya.
He didn't seem to notice Chuuya's expression at the time; he was just smiling at him, inexplicably trying to put on his best smile.
At that moment, all he could think about was leaving something behind.
It is said that beautiful things are unforgettable. He didn't have anything that fit that description, so he could only try to do something he could to leave even the slightest ripple in Chuuya's heart, at least to prove that he had once existed here and had interacted with a boy named Nakahara Chuuya.
If this dream is real, he means that if that other world really is another reality, he hopes he can leave some trace that belongs only to him.
Even if it's just a dream for him, perhaps he's someone who doesn't exist in reality for the other. They're simply living a dream where only the other appears, while living a life without each other.
If that's the case, will Nakahara Chuuya feel lost and confused? Will he doubt the reality of this world? Just like him.
But he knew that Chuuya was almost the complete opposite of him, and that Chuuya's simple mind might not be able to handle these questions at all.
However, if you can remember this non-existent person, that would be quite good.
In his dream, they fought side by side, perfectly completing one mission after another. Although the process was arduous, they overcame it all. He had thought that if he were hurt or harmed in his dreams, he would be jolted awake, but that wasn't the case.
His awakenings were completely unpredictable. Sometimes he would not wake up even if he realized he was dreaming. Even if he was seriously injured, he could not wake up immediately. He also often experienced dreams within dreams.
However, the harm suffered in dreams will disappear after waking up, and sometimes the things in dreams are inexplicable, starting and ending suddenly.
...The dream was so real that it felt like he was living two lives at the same time.
He was about to lose control.
