Yukiko has her ambitions, like every kid her age.

Ambitions like how she imagined her future would be.

Or, what it would've been if she wasn't a jujutsu sorcerer.

Ambitions consisting normal things like— going to college, taking the course she wanted.

A normal turn for her not so normal life.

Her ambitions were mostly influenced by the people around her; particularly the people from the Fukurodani Academy debate club.

With her sharp memory and her intelligence, many would assume she'd study to become a lawyer or prosecutor in the future.

Heck, she even set being a detective as an option due to the influence of her senior, and of course her idol (and uncle) Edogawa Ranpo.

Despite having attainable ambitions, the root of it all are dreams.

If you look at it in a way, our dreams are the root of our ambitions.

We dream of a goal, and our ambitions is our drive to achieve that goal.

Dreams are complex and unplanned happenings inside of our heads while ambitions are our concentrated and dedicated work.

It's meanings can be interchangeable but one would like to think that on a deeper level: dreams and ambitions are somehow interconnected.

Dazai-Nakahara Yukiko does not dream.

Her awakening is similar to muddy bubbles rising to the surface.

It's either that or a sudden light in a pitch black darkness, momentarily blinding you, making you unable to see for a few seconds. Followed by your body plummeting to the floor leaving you tangled with your blanket, your arms and limbs all over the place, making you struggle to free yourself.

Yukiko opened her eyes to find herself in her room.

The particular room in the house her father bought for their family.

Everything in her room was plain, as it was the first time she has actually ever been in it. The room was plain. From the walls to the ceiling to the floors.

She really has a lot of redecorating to do.

Yukiko sat up— luckily not waking up in the floor that morning— and stretched her arms as the bright morning light shine through the curtains, hitting her small figure.

Grabbing her phone from the nightstand beside her bed, Yukiko was immediately met with a lot of messages from a variety of people.
