"So I'm going to send an order to my men to prepare for action... Is that okay?"
"Of course it is okay." Chuuya turned to Dazai. "Why are you asking me such a thing?"

Dazai closed his eyes and gave an imaginary smile. “Finally it has come, the moment I have been waiting for. I'm pleased… really pleased. But I have one regret. I won't be able to read your novel when you finish it."
Dazai's body crossed the border. A long distance from the top to the ground was pulled by gravity… The impact could not be heard from the top of the building.
Akutagawa hesitantly approached and looked at the ground from the edge of the roof.
Red sunset…
Red asphalt…
"It's a very simple reason." Mori smiled. "If you die at the hands of that monster, then that means that no one can save Chuuya and he dies, too. In other words, the death you so eagerly await will end up as a double suicide with Chuuya-kun."
Dazai froze with the radio still in his hands. He then curled into the fetal position and screamed, "With Chuuya? Anything but thaaaat!!"
