Man idk what to name this 😭😭
Getting back to his room, Snape sighed in relief, closing the door behind him and flopping onto his bed. Dumbledore didn’t prevent him from researching Dazai, which was good, because he’d do whatever it takes to make sure he’s okay. Shit, too attached…
By now, he’s had so much evidence of abuse, and he was so worried. He was back at his home, flinching at the touch of men. Not boys, his fellow students, but men. He had something against men, it seemed scared of them, terrified, even. Worry overcame the professor.
Snape spent the next few days researching Yokohama, but didn’t get anything. There was nothing he could get to legally, so, he used a fake account and illegally searched Dazai’s name. The thing was… he didn’t come up.
Why was the government hiding him so much? But when he searched further, in the dark web— don’t blame him! He just cares about his students— he found something surprising. It was the government records of Shuji Tsushima. A boy who went under the alias of Dazai Osamu for mafia reasons.
Dazai? In the mafia? Snape snorted, chuckling a bit. That boy was the opposite of mafia-like.
Or, really, was he denying it because he didn’t want to believe it?
No. Sweat rolled down his forehead. It couldn’t be true. It was a different Dazai Osamu. And a different Shuji Tsushima. It wasn’t true. It wasn’t.
So, Snape continued searching for hours upon hours late into the night, unable to find anything.
“…shit.”
