It's Odasaku's birthday! I want to celebrate this precious character with this oneshot. Hope you all enjoy. Might change some stuff later.

I see the leaves falling from the wind, hundreds and thousands on the ground. A sky painted red, orange and golden. A world gone silent, except for every footstep I took in this vast land. The road ahead is a long one, I don't know how long it was when I got here.

Finally, there it was.

A place that I almost forgot existed.

A little clear cottage, as small as a dollhouse, but big on the inside once you step in.

Step by step, I grab the doorknob and enter. There were no lights, only the sun as the only source of light. Darkness is all I see. I felt something on my feet, I bent my knees and picked up the item.

These were Kosuke's sunglasses.

As reckless he is, Kosuke was willing to take responsibility when I'm not looking. He hides his emotions, acting like an adult to cover his pain from loss. Eventually he broke down, and I was just hugging him saying that everything will be okay.

Then I went up the stairs, and I happen to see a baseball and a yellow cap. Katsumi and Yu, may have their differences, but they were never apart. They like to cause mischief but they love getting along by playing togther.

I walked slowly in to the hall with many doors in front of me, I decided to check the white door at the end, and inside I see what was like a dream.

A single window, a table and two chairs containing a little bear and a book titled 'The Little Prince'.

Shinji has been invested with reading books, probably because of my love for reading too. Always hiding so that no one can find him, he can get afraid when other children laugh at him for being different.

Sakura was always a brave little girl, protective of Shinji when someone picked on him. She probably has the kindest smlie that anyone would love.

This place... is silent. This isn't a home because they're all gone, only accessories remain.

Leaving me the only one to remember.

The pain, the loss, the regret, the grief from within.

But then I realize there was something else, something from my coat pocket. It was a picture of me, Dazai and Ango, back when we were free from the cruel world.

And then another picture of me and all of the five children, including her. Who could ever forget a face like Yui's when you see her up close?

Because I know what true happiness is.

I know there still broken pieces of me, but even so I still manage to realize that regardless of those flaws, that I'm still here.

Hoping for a chance of life again.
