For ninjou.

[Tonight, Dazai is really drunk.

This is not different from most other nights in their favorite bar, save for a few things.

1. Ango isn't here.

2. Dazai is really drunk. The kind of drunk that has Odasaku concerned that he might be trying to die through liver failure. That drunk.

And so, it's with hesitation that he speaks up.]

Maybe you should stop drinking for tonight.

It's more than enough. I don't... think I...

[He pauses, thinking on his own morbid mindset, and decides to change directions.]

...could work with anyone else quite the way I work with you.

[tenimuho]

[...that doesn't seem to quite flow, but okay.]

I feel similarly.

[ninjou]

[It was going to be morbid, okay. Be glad he stopped.]

If I could change the world to make you happy, I would.

[Sometimes he can't stop the executive in him.]

[tenimuho]

That's impossible. [Pause.] But I'd do the same for you, if it weren't.

[ninjou]

I'm not going to let you down.

[He kisses Odasaku's neck.]

I refuse.

[tenimuho]

Mm. [Whether or not that's possible, it's sweet.]

Let's go back to bed.

[ninjou]

Alright.

[He steps back, taking Odasaku's hand and leading him back, flopping back on the bed first before dragging him along.]
