[ The look on Odasaku's face is enough to make his stomach drop. Dazai's fingers twitch slightly, scraping against the fabric of his pants before relaxing.
There's things that he can and will do here. This is one of them. It doesn't seem like enough though.
He nods in response. ]
Yeah.
[ It was an odd moment, as this one is, because Dazai has never tried to be this close to anyone. But... Odasaku needs someone to look out for him. He needs someone to create that life that he wants. There's no one longer anyone else that he can entrust that task to.
If Odasaku can see his novel to completion, then Dazai finds that would be proof that he was satisfied with his life. If Dazai could read that, then he thinks he could die without any regrets, knowing that everything was finished.
So he thinks about that moment often, and everything that should follow. ]
