Continuation for bandagedheart.

[Very few people get this dressed up for a bar crawl. It looks like it'd be hell to wash, and the only reason you'd wear it out to the bar is an obsession with fashion.

So that's one clue about who this patron sitting at a table is, since he forgot to tell other-Dazai how to identify himself. As for him, when he sees Dazai come in with bandages visible on his arms, he makes an (incorrect) assumption that this is the injury that caused that text and thus this is Dazai.

Well, he's half right, at least.]

Dazai!

...I've been married twice, had two long-term mistresses, and I can't name my one-night-stands even if you ask because I don't remember.

[So about that jealousy thing.]

[bandagedheart]

Goodness! You were quite the player in your previous life, I see!

[As long as they’re sharing their conquests...]

One night stands aside, I’ve only had a couple of steady partners. There’s just so many lovely men and women out there~

It was the thirties. You got married and had kids - I was about the same age as you when I got married the first time. In hindsight, staying single would have been better for me.

[Given how bad of a husband and a father he was...]

[bandagedheart]

You had kids? That’s surprising!

[Because Dazai could never see himself as a father, and Shuji seems like a less than stellar choice for a dad. But if that’s what was expected of him at the time, then of course he had to follow through.]

Well, now you’re free to do as you please!

[Dazai is 100% correct about this.]

I'd rather only have responsibilities to you, Master.

[God knows he screws everything else up.]
