[ And really, this is what Chuuya hates about him most of all. ]
... I'd respect the Boss' wishes.
[ The world is sour, bitter, like he'd just chewed on something truly foul. Like just the though of their wishes being so out of tandem was something putrid and rotten. That was probably what happened with Dazai, but that only leads credence to his thought that Mori had been ignorant to it; the Boss, who seemed to know everything, who had such a gross oversight.
Chuuya, the leader of the Sheep, who had such a gross oversight that he wound up a member of the Port Mafia.
Dazai, who had such a gross oversight that he wound up a member of the Armed Detective Agency.
Chuuya hesitates, processing. After some thought he says, ]
... But the Boss would have spared you if I told him to. You're gonna ask why, right? It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter a damn thing, and that's what I'd tell him. It doesn't matter why. Who the Hell cares if I don't want you to die? Why do I need a reason?
[ The Sheep were just good kids. They were kids who betrayed him. They stuck a knife with rat poison into him. They left him to die. They were afraid of him.
Who cares? He didn't.
But Chuuya doesn't think of things logically. He was only initially tempered by the Sheep begging him; his life is nothing, but in a different way.
Then, a bit more softly, ]
Mori-san can discard me if he wants to. That's why he's the Boss and I'm not, 'cause I can't make decisions the way that he can.
[ And there's the unspoken statement.
Chuuya is simple and earnest. He wouldn't have used logic. He wouldn't have talked it through. He would've run headstrong into it. He would've let Mori shoot him up. There would have been no negotiation.
There wouldn't have been any if Dazai had asked Chuuya for help either. If he'd asked Chuuya, who would have bitched but asked no real hard questions.
But he doesn't say any of that either. ]
And he's the Boss 'cause he listens to his executives and underlings. As much as I hate to say it, No Longer Human is too big of a sacrifice to make. And I'm going to be the one to kill you. I won't let anyone else do it.
The Boss gotta deal with that too. You ever thought about it?

[ What a delicate balance that is.
Or how in tandem they might be about Dazai. ]
