Summary:

Those words might not have seemed like much, but coming from Akutagawa, they were gratefulness for everything Chuuya had done for him, and it was a form of goodbye.

Because thatʼs what it was, wasnʼt it?

Chuuya was going to die tonight, protecting the people he cared and loved for.

Or: Chuuya is a bit suspiciously too self-sacrificing, and ends up using Corruption to give the people he cares for another chance at life. Will Dazai get to him in time or will Chuuya succumb to his injuries?

TRIGGER WARNINGS: ⚠ SELF-HARMING THOUGHTS AND IMPLIED SUICIDE ATTEMPT ⚠, Angst with a Happy Ending, Slight Blood and Gore, Chuuya Uses Corruption, Post-Corruption Ability Use.

CHAPTER 1: Continue To Paint Everything Jet Black

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

They were overwhelmed.

The split second it took for Chuuya to realize this, a few more of their men had already fallen prey to injuries or downright died. Not even glancing back, Chuuya threw up a large shield using his Ability to keep the enemy attacks to a minimum so he could at the least think. He barely felt the barrage of bullets, the only thing he was concerned about were the Ability Users amongst their enemies. One was able to manipulate the material of anything, being able to turn bullets into dust and turning basically the earth beneath his feet into weapons of every kind.

The other Ability User served as the larger threat.

Because he could manipulate shadows. Not any random shadows either, but shadows of people. Chuuya couldnʼt crush shadows using Gravity, and he couldnʼt use his Ability on his own men, just because they were being attacked by their own shadows. Caught between a huge dilemma, Chuuya took in a large breath, preparing himself for what he was about to do, coming to a decision as soon as he released it.

Turning towards Akutagawa who was using Rashoumon to help with the shield, Chuuya shouted with surprising clarity. "Akutagawa! Get everyone to safety!"

The acknowledged man startled a little at the unexpected order, glancing at Chuuya with a slightly wide-eyed look before realization dawned on him. Keeping Rashoumon where it was, Akutagawa stepped closer to Chuuya, almost desparate, "We can battle them, Chuuya-san, you donʼt-"
