In the first battle against Fukuchi, Atsushi makes a reality bending decision, accidentally sending himself back in time. Awakening in the body of his fourteen year old self, Atsushi must navigate the unfolding story of Dazai's dark era. However, a chance encounter with a young Akutagawa derails the timeline, drawing Atsushi deep into the darkness and intrigue of the port mafia. As time itself begins to shift, Atsushi sees a once in a lifetime opportunity- an opportunity to change the fate of the world, and save Akutagawa from the demons that will consume him in the future. As the threads of fate reweave themselves, and feelings blossom in unexpected places, all that Atsushi knows to be true must be questioned. Is it too much to want a better fate? Is it selfish to make a wish for a kinder beginning? ****NEW CHAPTER EACH WEEK. UPDATES SUNDAYS***
