You said it's a taunt... could it be from those guys who dropped us here?
[It feels like such a long time ago, now, even though it's only been two months. Her brows knit together, but she hasn't seen any marks on herself, yet. She'll have to check and make sure there's nothing on Shinji, either.]
How do you know it's not somebody's ability? Oh, [she interrupts herself.] I guess you touched Chuuya, and his marks didn't go away, huh?
Ah-ah-nope! I said it seems to be. I'm not married to that idea yet! Give me a week, I'll probably give you an assignment, I just need more time to see clearly. My predictions are never wrong - so, give me a moment or two.
(but, oh, well. he might just put everyone he trusts or... trusts-adjacent to work, and he probably will. he's strategy, after all, not muscle.)
They did not, and if his marks were real, we'd all be in trouble-- ah, not me, however. 'No Longer Human' never got me a date, but I can survive these things.
[She doesn't exactly perk up, she's too tired and upset to really be excited about the prospect of work, especially for Dazai, but... it would feel good to be able to do something. To not be the one in charge.
Also, not touching the bit about his ability getting or not getting him dates. She met most of her friends back home from awakening a Persona, so- close enough.]
(she wanted to do something, did she not? nothing dazai loves more than to show teens they're capable of greatness, even if it isn't the way they expected it.)
[She's trusting him with this. If he's going to ask her to do something, it can't be to hurt someone else, or intentionally lead to someone else getting hurt. She can't have that on her conscience.]
Chuuya's not in any danger from the marks right now, right...?

It's hard to imagine Chuuya being anxious. He seems so put-together all the time.

[It's not a plead, or a command. It's just a statement. It doesn't feel good to be laughed at right now.]
I didn't say he's not angry, I said he doesn't look anxious.

Ah, about this? He is. I've told you why before.

[Both him and Dazai are really good at pretending, aren't they? She has to get better about that. It's hard, though. Really, really hard.
She draws her knees in closer to her chest and rests her head atop theme.]
...I'm tired, Dazai-san.
