Al-muqarrabin specifically is an Islamic concept, isn't it? Fascinating.
[And yet, the references to Catholicism, the use of a Hebrew term for himself, as far as he knows. It's a little bit incredible to find that Castiel's cosmology might in fact be a hodgepodge of multiple faiths, rather than the realization of any one specific tradition.
He could indulge himself in that academic discussion if he wanted, while away the time here and hope that the new mission comes before he dies from dehydration, which will assuredly come before starvation, and returns less than whole. There's certainly less pleasant company than Castiel to spend that time with, after all.
It's tempting, if only out of spite for the breadcrumb trail Dazai can see easily, toward where their conversation is meant to go. But what does he accomplish? He cannot even die properly, here. He would risk parts of himself he is unwilling to put on the line simply for pride, and stubbornness.
