[He’s quiet for a long moment.

No, Chuuya isn’t wrong. Dazai did know that Mori wasn’t going to have him killed. He called the man out on such as he was walking out his door for the last time, a dozen guns trained upon him. If Mori wanted him dead, he truly would be. He wouldn’t have made it out of the building, much less to where Odasaku had breathed his last.

That’s not what stills him, though. After all, it’s a relatively straightforward conclusion to come to—Mori does not fail at his objectives. Anyone who attains any rank at all within the Port Mafia knows that. It’s the other part, all but buried within the middle of that rant.]


Would you have really come bailed me out? Even if it meant going against Mori-san?

[Even Dazai can’t predict everything correctly 100% of the time. If he could, he’d still be with the Port Mafia, and …. well, Ango would probably be lying in a ditch somewhere, taken care of, or have fled the country in a hurry. It hits him strangely to think that he might have read something wrong in Chuuya, the man he’s known for seven entire years.]

I would’ve assumed you’d sooner let yourself be consumed whole by Corruption before defying Mori-san’s wishes. It’s something that’s always annoyed me, frankly. Your unconditional loyalty isn’t something that could ever be reciprocated. You might even end up paying a blood price for someone else’s actions.
