Summary
“You never did tell me why you’re doing all this.” Chuuya decides to change the topic. “You look like you’re having a shit time. Why force yourself?”
Dazai hums, resting his head on his knees. “Currently, I’m not allowed to die. So I suppose I’m trying to earn my right to live.”
A scoff, unamused but not derisive either. “The hell is that? You’re here right now, aren’t you?” When he receives no response, he sighs. “You know, I don’t get you at all. You toy with friends and foe alike, always lording over everyone, but it’s not like you’ve ever looked at anything. It’s like you’re far off in your own world. I can’t tell what’s going on in your head half the time.”
“Maybe if your brain weren’t being consumed by your hat, you would,” Dazai replies automatically, earning an indignant shout from Chuuya.
For Dazai, living might be far more terrifying than dying, but there are people who will catch him when he falls.
(A BEAST ending rewrite in which Atsushi makes it in time, Dazai says the right things for once, and things aren’t as broken as they seemed.)

Summary
Sensing his misgivings, Dazai lays a hand on his head, ruffling his hair. “Just trust me. When have I ever been wrong?”
“Like…all the time? The other day, you said chocolate milk comes from chocolate cows.”
“See? Even I make mistakes.” His voice lowers to a conspiratorial whisper. “But don’t tell Chuuya about that, okay? I want to see how long he goes on thinking there are actual chocolate cows.”
Atsushi can’t help it—he laughs. It bubbles up within him, a feeling of release carrying him back to shore. They might only be playing pretend, but he’ll trust in that lie until it becomes real.
Atsushi has scars and unerasable sorrows, but he also has family.
