Becoming Human ✷ (Dazai x Ranpo's Sister! Reader)

"To be lonely is to feel unwanted and unloved, and therefore unloveable. Loneliness is a taste of death. No wonder some people who are desperately lonely lose themselves in mental illness or violence to forget the inner pain." - Jean Vanier

You consider it somewhat of a curse to be the little sister of Edogawa Ranpo, the world's greatest detective-forever in his shadow. Stricken with inferiority complex and depression at a young age, you struggle with a job offer at the place he works... and his handsome bandaged colleague, who shares a similar sadness (but not quite).

This fanfic contains spoilers, a developing romance (smut chapters will be recognizable by this heart ♥ in the title), some violence, depressive themes, and art/images/characters that belong to other people.
