Continuation for bandagedheart.

[thesettingsun]

[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!

[Dazai's mask is much too good for a total stranger to pierce through. Shuji's visibly pleased, but it's the same kind of pleased that he'd get from anyone praising his works.]

Famous author Dazai Osamu, at your service. Thank you for taking care of my sensei while I wasn't here.

[Of course he wouldn't default to his real name. Why would he? He's the only 'Dazai Osamu'.]

[bandagedheart]

Of course. It was my pleasure.

[Ibuse probably wants nothing to do with him now, but it doesn’t matter. He’ll be gone soon enough.]

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to meet you.

[He bows before turning to take his leave.]

Take care.

[That will be the last time that anyone sees Dazai Osamu of the Armed Detective Agency, and Akutagawa Ryuunosuke of the Port Mafia, alive.]
