—— To the man, death was like salvation. 

“Happiness is unforgivable; it receives only punishment in return.” 

This life exists for the sake of atonement. That was what I believed — up until I met her. 

At the end of this tale, the man’s choice is —— …. 

So that you live on, so that you can atone ——

I won’t forgive you. 

The Forbidden 2nd Act; a dangerous love begins  ——

Dazai: I am Osamu Dazai, the undying novelist. 

He teases you with a lighthearted smile, yet underneath this spontaneity lies…. 

Dazai: Won’t you accompany with me for a bit? I’ll tell you about a very special place. 

The more I feel his subtle, nonchalant kindness, the more I want to know his true self. 

You must not be saved by those around you who continue to cause you unhappiness. 

— There is no longer anything I can trust in this world. 

Death is salvation. Yet, you see, time and time again, that relief does not appear to man. 

— The only one to open their eyes was the man. 

Sensei, let’s die together —

“Don’t worry, you’ll forget me one day.” 

The burden of atonement, however, will not forgive the man’s own happiness. 

Dazai: To love is to bet your life. It’s not something sweet and gentle. 

Knowing his hidden past, I move to reach out my hand but —

The appearance of a new character accelerates the story line. 

Charles: So that’s how it is. How cruel, hogging a girl this cute all to himself…. 

Dazai: Let’s end things here. Please stay well.  — Goodbye. 

If it is to save him, I would gladly fall together.

Even if the end of this story leads us to hell ——

Dazai: Every time I touch you, my heart is flooded with joy.

Dazai: Haa — It seems that love is like a bottomless pit.*

Dazai: I wonder if you’d be willing to give it all to me. Your body, your heart  —— and your destiny.

The term Dazai uses here is 底なし沼 which translates to “bottomless swamp” and is commonly used as slang to describe when someone is extremely invested into something. I’ve opted to use “bottomless pit” to match the themes of falling into hell/sin and atonement, as well as to make it sound a bit more fitting with the spicy bite scene lol.
