Movie: Bungou Stray Dogs: Dead Apple – Works | Archive of Our Own

Aru wishes her ability let her go back in time, back to when she was still living with Kōsuke, Katsumi, Yū, Shinji, and Sakura. She would trade her current ability for another chance at life with them in a heartbeat. It was only two years, but they had felt like a lifetime. It was something she often thought about as she lay on the floor of Dazai Osamu’s apartment while she was high on whatever drugs she had procured that day. It wasn’t a healthy habit, and she knew Odasaku would’ve been disappointed in her for it, but he wasn’t around anymore was he. And she had a reason for the habit. Drugs were the only thing that could dull the angry screeching that was almost constantly in her head when she was alone. And it wasn’t as if Dazai was going to stop her – hell, he probably didn’t even notice her addiction since he was always off somewhere in Yokohoma attempting suicide. She wasn’t going to bother him more than she needed to, the fact he was letting her stay in his apartment was enough. So she was always alone with her drugs. But she was trying to recover now – whether it was Odasaku’s spirit or the lack of money she had at her disposal, who was to say?
