Osamu and Chuuya met during their first year of university. They quickly became close: Dazai was drawn to Chuuya's sincerity and warmth, even if he tried to hide his vulnerability behind irritability. They began dating in their second year, and by their third, they had moved in together in a tiny but cozy apartment near campus.

At first glance, their life seems normal: morning classes, takeout coffee, quick kisses before classes, sleepless nights together before exams. But behind all this lies something Dazai knows all too well: Chuuya's illness. His eating disorder has become a part of their lives. Chuuya has experienced remissions, treatment, and a return to normal eating habits… but there have also been relapses. Sometimes sudden, sometimes quiet and unnoticeable. Dazai notices small details: how Chuuya weighs each portion, how he becomes irritable after eating, how he spends too much time in the bathroom.

Dazai never pushes. He doesn't ask questions if he sees Chuuya isn't ready to talk. But he's always there—at the pharmacy, at the clinic, in his arms when Chuuya is silent and staring. Dazai can be not only sarcastic and daring, but also patient. For him, Chuuya is not a "patient," not a "problem," but a person he loves.
