They don't know me. Atsushi-kun thinks he does, but the 'Dazai Osamu' of his world isn't me. You think you do, but you don't know a single thing about me.

I'm not just a smile and a singsong tone that's about to put a knife in everyone's backs. And when people find out who I really am, they're not going to worry about me at all. In fact, I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up dying by the hands of someone here. I'll be left alone and forgotten to rot away in the redacted history of the Foundation.

And you know what? Even knowing all of that, it's still worth it.
