ROUND 6 - INTRO

[foundationmods]

[After so long a trip, you're all finally here. Taken through a hidden passage inside of the very mountain itself, you find yourself standing in front of a field of flowers, growing well due to the open roof above it. If you look up, you can just make out the shimmering colors off of the barrier - looking almost like the shine off of a soap bubble.

Try not to trample on the flowers as you approach the open, purple gate, where it looks as if someone is waiting for all of you just inside. And remember to wear your masks, now that you're here!

...Still, the sight of the yellow flowers waving in the wind....such a cheery sight fills you with determination for what's to come.

Welcome to the Underground.

You have the universe to save.]

... you and he are remarkably similar in how you're quick to say things like what you just said. Though he has more of the perspective that I am a "good" person because of his lack of experience in some areas.

I'm having to adjust for the fact that this Atsushi knows very well just how "bad" Dazai Osamu can be.

It gets hard not to sink back into certain patterns when it's harder to argue on a side of "good" when you agree with the "bad". The fact of the matter is I don't disagree with your arguments. However, I cannot in "good" conscience allow for it, so I argue.

...

[It's familiar, and yet, it's all so new to him. This Dazai keeps surprising him over and over again.

No wonder the other Atsushi was so fond of his Dazai. He wasn't manipulated into complying, Dazai just straight-up won him over.]

Thank you, Dazai-san. For looking out for me like that. Good or bad, you wouldn't do something if it didn't matter, yes? So thank you for the effort.

[... is--is that what he's getting out of that???

also is this what getting an "at least you tried" sticker feels like?]

Mm. Well.

It is easier to fail than to succeed, so I'd much rather keep succeeding at failing to change much at all these days. Statistical odds are in my favor.
