CHAPTER 2: “Open up"
Chuuya looked behind him to see if Dazai was still following him as he sighs in relief upon seeing that he didn’t. Chuuya went to a clinic, the nurse greeted him and seemed to know him already as if he always visits there. “Good to see you, Chuuya-san!” the nurse smiled softly, “Getting another check up, probably?” Chuuya looked at her while his hands were completely shaking. “Y-yes..please..” as the nurse court him towards the doctor. Dazai in the other hand, was looking for Chuuya, he noticed that Chuuya went to a clinic as he went in. “Chuuya! What the hell are you doing here? Are you hurt?! Or sick?!” he yelled out in a worried voice. Chuuya shakes upon seeing him, “W-why the hell are you following me.” Dazai was now completely inside the clinic as he rushed towards Chuuya. “What’s happening?! Chuuya, what happened?!” now he looks concerned and worried, he looks at the nurse and Chuuya. Chuuya felt uncomfortable seeing Dazai as he was shaking more. “Chuuya.. What happened? Why are you in such a panic?”. The nurse interrupt them, “May I talk to you? Are you one of Chuuya’s friend?” Dazai nodded in respond.. “Yes, I am his friend. What happened to him? Did he get hurt?” his voice was still full of worry. “How did you not noticed this to Chuuya?” Dazai seems confused. “Noticed what?!” he looks at her, clearly concerned for Chuuya. “He had been suffering from a fatal disease, Fatal Insomnia. Which is the main reason why he panics a lot, hallucinates and shakes.” The expression on Dazai’s face turns from worry, to shock. “A disease? Fatal insomnia? You’re joking right?” the nurse shook his head, obviously not joking, “I wasn’t joking, Chuuya had been visiting this clinic for a while now.” Dazai had a lot of thoughts running through his mind, “Why didn’t he tell me? Why did he kept it himself?” he thought himself, still in shock, he’s worried about how this affects Chuuya and how to overcome the disease in some way. “Oh god, he’s been suffering this for a long time and didn’t even bother to tell me? How could I not notice that. What could we do? Is there any cure?” he asked, still worrying a lot. “I’m sorry but, we’re still looking for a cure.” Dazai looks at the nurse, desperate for any solution to Chuuya’s insomnia. “So.. it’s still going to affect him?” the nurse nods, “I’m sorry but yes, we’re still trying our best for a cure.”. Dazai’s voice were shaking, he looked really worried, “Oh no.. I feel terrible for not noticing any of this before. Is there anything we could do? Is the insomnia really fatal, can it possibly kill him?!” the nurse sighs and felt bad, “Unfortunately, yes.” Dazai was in complete desperation, he still wants to do anything he can to help Chuuya. “Oh god.. I want to help him! Even if there’s no cure, there must be something else, right?!” the nurse sighs, “we’re trying all our best, okay?”. He couldn’t help but sighs in frustration as he listens to the nurse. “Yeah.. I know, I’m sorry, I’m just.. I just lo–..” as he sits on the chair given to him, “..I don’t want anything bad to happen to him..” he says this with a sad look on his face, still desperate.
“I understand you.” The nurse pats Dazai’s shoulder. Dazai looked up at Chuuya who fell asleep due to tiredness, “Chuuya.. why..” Dazai muttered to himself as he waits in there, waiting for Chuuya to wake up. After a while, Chuuya sit down and make himself comfortable on the bed he was placed on. He looked around and saw Dazai staring at him. “Stop looking at me.” Chuuya says as he looked away and starred on the window. “Right, sorry about that.” Dazai walks towards him and sighs, “Why didn’t you tell me? You’ve been struggling, why didn’t you bother to tell me, Chuuya?” Dazai eagerly waits for his answer. “Did you ask me about it? You didn’t, so why would I bother to explain everything I’ve been through?” as a small laugh escape through Chuuya. “Plus it would be embarrassing if I came in your front just to tell you what’s happening to me.” Dazai looked at him and thought of it. “That makes sense.” As Dazai placed his hand on Chuuya’s shoulder, “So, how are you feeling now?”. Chuuya took a deep breath, “I feel fine, I guess..” Dazai sits beside him, still feeling worried for Chuuya’s health. Chuuya unexpectedly looked up to the window. “Look!” Dazai curiously looks upon the window, “Hm? What is it?” Chuuya pointed to the window, “Can you see that Dazai? It’s snowing!”. Dazai looked through the window, looking for any snow but only rain drops hitting the ground, the grass. “Let him be please? Don’t correct him for now. He’s just experiencing hallucination.” The nurse came by and was whispering to Dazai. He stayed silent, trying not to correct Chuuya. He is worried about Chuuya and wants to take care of him, so he’s trying his best not to correct him at this point, besides, he’s not the type of person to correct people anyways. “Yes, it’s snowing.” He says this with a relaxed smile on his face as he looks out
