[ It is genuine. Dazai should have expected it, but as always, Odasaku manages to catch him off guard.
Though his response is... Well, probably in line with what one would expect from him. Sort of. Maybe. ]
I knew I could count on you to understand! I'm going to find the woman of my dreams here, I can sense it.
You know, if you tried, I bet you could easily attract someone too. You have all the right layers to you. On the outside, you're mysterious and unavailable, but then beneath that you're a sensitive and kind person, the type who a person can slowly unpack and realize that they're being shown pieces of you that no one else can see...
Exactly! Now that I think about it, I think we should form a support group for broken hearts here. Have you noticed how being trapped in close quarters has caused everyone to partner up?
You should look around. Once you know what to look for, you'll see it immediately. It's only natural in a place like this. We're all trapped in close quarters and high strung, with a constant influx of stress and a fear of what tomorrow my bring! It's the perfect combination to force a romantic spark, or at least something that could be mistaken for it.
Coupling allows people to fulfill all their basic emotional needs when it comes to emotional support and having a connection, it tells them that they're not alone and soothes them at a time when they're at their most isolated and vulnerable. This is the perfect storm for whirlwind romances that will either reach the greatest heights or fall apart in a way that does irreparable damage.
Inn other words, it's the perfect time to find love, and it's the perfect time to experience heartbreak. The odds will never be more in our favor, and they'll never be less in our favor because the pool is increasingly shrinking.
Nope. I thought BB-san might be the one, but her programming means that it's impossible for her to kill herself. It would have to be a murder suicide. I thought about it, but that doesn't seem right.
I'm happy with the way that things are now. Besides, I can't imagine someone being more interesting than you are.
That makes it sound like you'd let me preclude you from getting a wife.
[There's a strange sensation at that. Oda can't quite pin it down.]
I get it though. If you can't imagine anyone more interesting than me, I definitely can't imagine anyone more interesting than you. Things are fine the way they are right now.
[ ... Maybe he shouldn't let Odasaku hang out with Akechi. That unfortunate way of saying things is catching, but it's a little embarrassing when Odasaku does it. ]
Sure. If they're not at least as interesting as you are, then the flame of our romance will be extinguished far too quickly. I need someone who can constantly rekindle it.
There's no one more interesting than you are... Well, you're right that there's no one quite like me, but I'm sure that you could find someone who's half as interesting. If you're really lucky, maybe just as interesting.

[It's obvious, isn't it? Dazai is a charismatic person, utilizing it one way or another. His statement is that of simple fact.]

That's a pretty glowing review. You really think so?

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I can't say I've personally felt any particular impulse to date just because we're stuck in a small place. Have you?
[He feels less like it than ever, really. Funny how that works.]
