A/N: A long chapter~ Sorry for the wait though!



Tsukiyomi's P.O.V

The evening day had passed into the day of the night before time ticked even further, letting it by pass the midnight time and travel into the next day.

After a long time of rolling side to side on the floor, the patched up wounds were starting to sting a dull pain. So I switched from the floor to lay back on the futon. Now, while lying on the futon bed, my eyes gaze up at the ceiling as I stared at it with a blank look on my face.

Nothing came to my head as I continue staring at the dark-brown coloured ceiling of the room as the light from the moon from up above the sky outside the window peeked in slightly through the covers of the curtains, illuminating the inside of the room in a slight bluish colour.

Time had passed enough to let me get my emotions and momentum back to its usual state, albeit making me slightly worn out both mentally and physically.

Thoughts flowed into my mind as it replayed the scenes of past happenings from ever since I met Dazai and Atsushi at the river till where I was currently now in the timeline.

Little did I know, much time had passed while I was out of the world and drowned in my memories.

The only thing that shook me out of my long term trance was when three knocks sounded from the door as it reverberated into the room.

Blinking once in forever, I realised that it was already in the early morning as orange-coloured sunlight drifted into the room by peeking through the slightly opened curtains.

Pushing myself to a sitting position as I slid the cover of the blanket off my body slightly, the door opened with a slight creak sound before a loud 'good morning' in English echoed into the room, informing me of the appearance of the familiar brown-haired male from the familiar joyful voice.

Lifting my head up, my eyes laid on the smiling Dazai from behind the door as he poked his head out into the room. "How is your sleep—Eh? Tsuki-chan?"

No words left my mouth as I continue staring at him with tired and blank eyes.

"... Did you even sleep at all?" Dazai questioned after a few seconds of silence before he pushed the door open fully and leaned on the door frame on his back. Crossing his arms across his chest, his head turned to look at me with a worried gaze.

As my senses came back to me slowly, my mind was getting back onto the track of reality. Blinking a few more times to get my eyes moistures after having not blink once for many hours, I stared at the male with unamused eyes as my eyebrows creased together, my lips curled into a small frown.

"Whose fault do you think it was that made me gain no sleep the previous night and this morning?" I growled lowly as the lack of sleep and the feeling of tiredness was affecting my mood.

"E-Ehhh...? So... It was my fault...?"

".... Do you need something while I was recalling about my f**-- my life?" I replied back with a question instead of answering his previous one, having been not in the mood to answer that question, and also correcting my words at the last moment.

As much as I can say my life was shitty, because it is true, I did have some instances where I had my fun and happiness, as much as the joy and love of people. So overall, it's shitty, but amusing too.

Dazai raised his left eyebrow in a mocking kind of action before his eyes glint in amusement. Letting out a chuckle as he look at me, his smile widened on his lips. "Recalling your shitty life? Was it any good up till now?" He spoke, following along with my words, which took me by surprise because I have never heard him speak out any vulgarities before.
