Chapter Text
~~ Mori ~~
Mori was immersed in his thoughts.
Dazai, Verlaine and Akutagawa had left for Italy.
They were to help Dante, who was being attacked from all sides.
Esperenza, who never left Verlaine, had accompanied them.
Kouyou was supposed to be back in a few days, she was much better now.
As for Monoma... He had to come back with Kouyou.
He sighed.
Their relationship was tense and he simply could not stay in Florence.
The Port Mafia needed him, especially since Chuuya's death, they also faced more attacks than when the executive was still alive.
Once again, he thought back to his argument with Monoma.
It was a few days after the funeral, when they were going back to Yokohama.
Monoma had walked up to him and told him that he was staying in Italy, that he had to support Dante and that he needed time to mourn Chuuya and Charles.
Mori had been stunned at the evocation of Charles.
Then Monoma handed him a document.
He had spotted that he was wearing a ring, but at the time, he had not paid more attention than that.
When he saw that the document was a marriage certificate in the name of Charles and Monoma, he had completely lost his mind.
Since then, Monoma was distant, even though he had assured him that their relationship was not over yet.
And he had a hard time accepting what Monoma had done.
"That asshole Charles played his game right" he thought.
Even when he died, he had found a way to sow discord in his life and that of Monoma.
Mori hoped that Monoma would eventually return to Yokohama when Dante's enemies were neutralized.
He breathed a long sigh and went back to work.
~~ Dante ~~
Soon after Chuuya and Giovanni's funeral, Dante succeeded his father as head of the Italian Mafia.
News of Giovanni's death had pushed his enemies into action and they were attacked almost non-stop.
These assholes didn't even give him time to mourn his love and his brother.
Strangely, the only ones who had not attacked were the Sabinis and the Changrettas, although Manetto Donati had warned them about them several months ago.
Dante sighed, catching Monoma's eye.
He was constantly sad, unable to overcome his pain.
Sometimes he thought he would have preferred Chuuya to leave him rather than know he was dead.
Everything would have been better than the death of his love.
He was sorely missed.
And Giovanni too, who should have been at his side at the head of the Italian Mafia.
Instead, he had Monoma, who played the bodyguard.
He had managed to thwart several assassination attempts against him.
He was also his main emotional support, as were his parents.
The door to his office opened violently, letting Dazai and Francesco in, who burst like madmen.
Dante and Monoma startled.
"Damn it!" exclaimed Dante.
"Cursed be Hirotsu!" cried Monoma.
Dazai and Francesco snickered like idiots.
Dazai stepped forward to give them a hug.
"How are you two doing?" asked Dazai.
"Well, always the same" Dante replied, weary.
"Don't worry buddy, I'll bring you those two fools soon" Dazai thought.
"You missed Kouyou by a little, she left this morning" announced Monoma.
"I thought you should go with her" Dazai remarked.
Monoma shrugged.
"I'm needed here" he replied.
"You'll have to go home one day and settle your problems with Mori-san" Dazai said.
"I would do it" Monoma said.
Dazai nodded, but was not convinced.
He was tired of the Port Mafia Boss dragging himself around like a soul in pain, but he preferred to stay out of their stories.
"In fact, except to greet you, we wanted to tell you that Francesco and I have to leave for a while" Dazai announced.
"To go where?" asked Dante.
"We had a great idea for a wedding gift for Antonia, but it might take some time to find" Francesco replied.
Monoma had grown tense at the mention of the word "marriage".
His thoughts turned to Charles.
"What is it?" asked Dante.
"It's a secret" Dazai said, winking at him.
"All right, try not to get both of you kidnapped" Dante advised.
Dazai and Francesco chuckled.
"When are you leaving?" asked Dante.
"In two days" Francesco said.
Dante nodded.
"Is Verlaine there?" asked Monoma.
"Yes, with that damn witch" Dazai replied.
They burst out laughing.
Then Dazai and Francesco took leave.
Dante plunged back into his thoughts.
~~ Monoma ~~
He didn't know how to react in Verlaine's presence.
He resented him, even if it was necessary, for killing Charles.
It was annoying, he didn't understand why or how, he could have attached himself to this asshole.
The fact that they got married had upset Monoma.
He did not expect this request, nor Charles' exemplary behavior following their union.
He had begun to feel affection for him, much to his despair.
When he did not spend his time kidnapping people or fomenting convoluted plots, he was a very charming man.
If only he had arrived earlier.
He could have saved him.
"Damn it, I hate the fact that he did it for me!"
In the kind of foolish plan, Charles had broken records by organizing his own death.
Verlaine had repeated his last words to him.
He still couldn't believe that without it, Charles would have continued his bullshits.
He missed that idiot.
Despite everything he put him through.
"It must be Stockholm syndrome"
Or he was just crazy.
He thought about Trevor, maybe he should call him to discuss it.
He would certainly help him to see more clearly.
Especially since he had to fix things with Ogai.
But he didn't know how to do it.
Ogai had been so furious.
But one thing was certain, he loved Ogai.
He would eventually forgive him for what he had done.
Monoma hoped so.
~~ Chuuya and Giovanni ~~
They had been on the Isle of Temptation for almost nine months.
By going to the nearest town, they understood that they were in Thailand.
But because they didn't know the language, they just bought what they needed and returned to their island.
Luckily for them, Chuuya had his bank card on him and it wasn't the Port Mafia's.
They still had to go back and forth several times to build up a good stock.
Winter was approaching and the climate had become more bearable.
Giovanni had built a small hut quite charming, apart from electricity, they had everything it was necessary to have to lead a small quiet life.
They were currently on the beach, in shorts, and fighting.
Chuuya lowered quickly to dodge Giovanni's fist and hit back with a kick.
Giovanni grabs it and smiles.
"I got you" he said.
Chuuya used his ability to nail him to the ground and displayed a small satisfied air.
"You can't fight gravity, my love" he declared.
"You're just a cheater" Giovanni complained.
Chuuya snickered and reached out to him to help him get up.
Giovanni abruptly attracted him and dropped him on him.
Then he walked through Chuuya's body with his hands.
"Gio, we said we were training" Chuuya observed.
"We also said no gravity" replied Giovanni.
"You're a bad loser" Chuuya said.
Giovanni snickered while taking off his shorts.
"On the contrary, I win" Giovanni said.
He flipped Chuuya under him and quickly took off his own shorts.
The next moment he entered Chuuya, who cried out with pleasure.
He made love to him without mercy, taking him with force.
They soon fell into a violent orgasm.
They had barely calmed down in nine months of living together.
The passion that animated them seemed never to weaken.
They got along perfectly well and they were happy to be together.
Eventually, they went swimming and then drove home.
The rain was starting to fall and they intended to use their bed rather than the sand to continue doing indecent things.
~~ Living room of the house Alighieri ~~
They were all gathered around a tea and they talked.
Verlaine could feel Monoma's gaze on him.
He had tensed up when he saw him and then greeted him.
Verlaine wondered how Charles had managed to disturb him so much.
They were distracted by the conversation between Dante's parents and Dante when Dazai's announcement made him suddenly straighten his head.
"What are you still cooking Dazai?" he wondered.
He looked at his love, an eyebrow raised as a question.
Dazai gave him a charming smile.
"We will leave in two days" Francesco told his parents.
"You are going to great lengths to please Antonia" Bella remarked.
"Still, try to be back for the wedding" Alighiero added.
"We will be" Dazai said.
The conversation continued and then they separated, each returning to his own business.
Verlaine intercepted Dazai and led him to their room.
~~ Verlaine and Dazai ~~
Paul closed the door and turned to Dazai.
"What is this story? Mori told us to stay and help Dante, not to go out and travel the world" he said.
"I'm going to help him" Dazai said.
"Explain yourself" demanded Paul.
"I will bring back Chibi and Giovanni" Dazai said.
"They died Dazai, it's impossible" sighed Paul.
"No, they're not, Francesco agrees with me, so we're going to find these two idiots and bring them back" Dazai said.
"Don't tell anyone, though, I don't want to create false hope if it fails" he added.
"And what are you going to tell the Boss?" asked Paul.
"Nothing at all" Dazai replied.
Paul sighed.
"You better come back" he ordered.
Dazai smiled and walked towards him.
"Of course I'd come back my heart" he said.
Then he put his arms around Paul's neck and kissed him.
"Maybe I'll ask Esperenza to come with you, she'll protect you" Paul said.
"Please, no! Everything but not that!" thought Dazai.
"I'd be happy to throw her in the first river I'd see" he said.
"Dazai, for the thousandth time, you will not kill Esperenza" replied Paul.
Dazai displayed a sulky pout.
"But she's still here! I can't even enjoy you anymore, my heart" Dazai complained.
As if he had invoked it, Esperenza entered after being invited and Dazai sighed.
"Damn it, never quiet!" thought Dazai.
"Ah Esperenza, I wish I had a moment alone with Dazai" said Paul.
Esperenza poured but nodded.
Dazai displayed a triumphant smile and drew a bad look from the nanny.
Hardly had she left the room that Paul threw himself on him, to the delight of Dazai.
~~ Esperenza ~~
She walked to the same chair where she had knitted a scarf for her protégé months ago.
She immersed herself in her thoughts.
The absence of Dazai was certainly going to worry Paul.
She was going to accompany this little idiot to bring him back safely.
There's no way her Paul will end up with a broken heart.
And then Francesco would also need her.
She wondered if they were really leaving to find a gift for Antonia.
This story seemed fishy to her.
And Dazai was a dirty little plotter, he was probably up to something.
She would take advantage of this to make his life impossible.
She let out a little laugh.
She loved tormenting Dazai.
~~ Francesco ~~
He went to the Donati's house to inform Antonia of their intention to leave, Dazai and him.
"Are you really sure they're still alive?" asked Antonia.
"Yes, I don't think Charles would have told us the truth" Francesco said.
"But from there to decide not to come back, hurting everyone in the process" Antonia added.
"You didn't see them my darling, from the beginning, they were subjugated by each other, the tension between them was unbearable, I know Gio, and yet, I had never seen him so smitten" declared Francesco.
"What if they refuse to come back?" asked Antonia.
"We'll kick their asses" Francesco replied.
Antonia laughed.
"Don't be late for our wedding, and watch out for yourselves, both of you" Antonia said.
"Don't worry, we'll stay in touch and then nothing could stop me from coming back to you" Francesco said.
Antonia nodded and placed a kiss on his lips.
"I'll ask Father if you can stay for dinner" she said.
Francesco nodded.
"I'd love to, spending some time with you before I leave will help me hold on when I feel liked strangling Dazai" he said.
Antonia let out a chuckle.
"Stop it, you both love each other" Antonia remarked.
"It's true" Francesco admitted with a smile.
Dazai was a precious friend, he absolutely had to ask him to be his best man at his wedding.
Taking Antonia's hand, they headed to the office of the young woman's father.
~~ Mori ~~
He had come to welcome Kouyou and Monoma upon their arrival.
Only Kouyou got off the helicopter.
"Seriously Monoma? Couldn't you warn me?"
Kouyou walked towards him.
"How are you?" he asked, anxious.
"Better yet, I'm sorry, I tried to convince him to come back but he didn't want to hear anything" Kouyou said.
"He's going to drive me crazy, at dodging me all the time" Mori said.
"Eventually he will come back, Ogai." Kouyou assured.
"Makoto should arrive in Italy soon, he will try to reason with him" announced Mori.
"I don't know if he will succeed, Monoma risks don't listening him" Kouyou remarked.
"I know, but I'm desperate" Mori confessed.
"Let's go, and don't tormenting you like that" Kouyou said.
"I'll try" Mori replied.
They took the way to HQ.
On the road, Mori thought that, for once, he was in complete agreement with Makoto.
They had to get Monoma out of his widower's delirium.
And besides, they will could trade their bodies and Monoma would be obliged to talk to him.
He resented putting the young man to the wall but the situation was no longer tenable.
They will had to sort this out.
If Mori could have, he would have resurrected this asshole of Charles to kill him again with his own hands.
Alas, it was impossible.
"Be curse Charles, you asshole!"
~~ Akutagawa ~~
As soon as he arrived, he went to the tomb of Chuuya-san.
He was sorely missing by his second mentor.
He still let Dazai-san meditate first.
Then he left with the younger brother Alighieri.
And since then, he hadn't moved from there.
The sun had begun its descent, the day giving way to darkness.
He felt a hand rest on his shoulder and came out of his thoughts.
"Come Aku, let's go" Dazai said.
Akutagawa nodded.
Before leaving, he laid a bouquet of white chrysanthemums on Chuuya's grave, and another on Giovanni's.
When they arrived at the Alighieri estate, they were expected for dinner.
Dazai told him that it was a very nice gesture to bloom both graves.
Alighiero and Bella heard him and stood up together.
Then, to Akutagawa's amazement, they took him in their arms.
"Thank you" whispered Alighiero, moved.
Hardly had they let go him that Dante also took him in his arms.
"He loved you very much, you know" Dante said.
Tears came up in Akutagawa's eyes.
Dazai and Verlaine exchanged glances and then stood up.
They consoled Dante and Akutagawa who were now crying for good.
"Fool of Chibi" thought Dazai as he hugged Akutagawa.
After several minutes, they regained their composure and sat down again.
~~ Chuuya and Giovanni ~~
Chuuya was asleep when Giovanni heard them.
He slipped silently out of their bed, which he had willingly made for a person so that he could always have his love near him, and walked towards the door.
"Fucking pirates, go for a walk in Purgatory, bunch of assholes!"
He waited for them to surround him, then activated his ability.
Once cleared of these intruders, he returned to Chuuya.
This one moved when he lay down.
"Damn it!" thought Giovanni.
"Where were you?" asked Chuuya, his voice sleepy.
"Pirates" replied Giovanni.
"Damn it, Gio, you should have woken me up" shouted Chuuya, perfectly awake now.
"It's settled" Giovanni said.
Chuuya stared at his own.
"You still haven't told me what your ability is" Chuuya remarked.
"A little trip to Purgatory" declared Giovanni.
"You mean like Francesco, in spirit?" Chuuya asked.
"No, the targeted people are going in the flesh there" Giovanni revealed.
"It's scary" Chuuya said.
"It is not for nothing that I am feared, my love" says Giovanni.
"How do they get out?" asked Chuuya.
"They can't, even canceling Dazai wouldn't change that" Giovanni replied.
"What about your parents, do they have abilities?" Chuuya asked.
"Yes, the power of my mother "Hatching" allows to give life, mainly to what concerns nature" says Giovanni.
"It looks pretty positive" Chuuya remarked.
Giovanni nodded.
"As for my father, his is "Eternal Suffering", just like me, he can transported his targets, except that they land in Hell" explained Giovanni.
"It's dreadful" Chuuya observed.
"Yes, but it deters our enemies from attacking" says Giovanni.
He turned to Chuuya.
"If you've finished your interrogation, I'd like to go to town" Giovanni said.
Chuuya raised an interrogating eyebrow.
"I want a good steak, I need energy to continue to satisfy you" explained Giovanni.
Chuuya snickered.
"You're just a pervert, admit it" he said.
Giovanni made a pout that Chuuya found absolutely adorable.
"All right, let's go, you're lucky I love you" Chuuya said.
Then he froze, becoming aware of what he had just said.
"Really? You do it?" asked Giovanni.
Chuuya nodded, red like a tomato.
"Good, because I love you too, my love" Giovanni replied, with a big smile.
Chuuya returned his smile to him.
Eventually, they decided not to leave their bed.
~~ Makoto ~~
Makoto was heading for the Alighieri estate.
He had hastened to accomplish his mission to arrive as soon as possible.
He and the Boss agreed that Monoma had completely lost his mind.
This story of marriage, mourning and widowhood about Charles?
But what was wrong with that fool?
Makoto was going to be happy to put him the ideas back in place.
Even if it means beating him up.
It was high time that Monoma left Charles in his place, in Hell, and stopped his delirium.
He had planned an exchange with Mori, to allow them to discuss since this moron of Monoma refused to return to Yokohama.
And also, an exchange with Trevor, the psychologist of the Port Mafia to whom Monoma had already confided in the past.
When the Boss asked him if he agreed, he said yes immediately.
Then he had met Trevor and realized with horror in which body he was going to land.
At the end of this whole thing, he'd be the one who needed therapy.
He had a few meters to arrived to go to the Alighieri's home when Dazai emerged, ran towards into his direction's and jump on him like a mad man.
They both fell.
"Finally there you are, I missed you fool!" exclaimed Dazai.
"Get your mummy's ass out of me, you moron, you're crushing me" Makoto retorted, pushing him away.
"I missed you too, but we'll be able to make up for lost time now that I'm here" added Makoto.
"I'm leaving tomorrow" Dazai said.
"Are you fucking kidding me?" asked Makoto.
Dazai smiled.
"I guess Mori doesn't know, you're all really trying to make him lose his temper" Makoto observed.
"I didn't know you were so concerned about Mori-san's welfare" Dazai remarked.
"Someone has to do it, since you are all idiots who do not listen to orders" replied Makoto.
"Would the Boss stealed your heart, Makoto ?" taunted Dazai.
"Fuck you, Dazai" Makoto replied.
"Why so much hate, my friend? It's quite normal, Mori-san has charm after all" Dazai said, pretending to vomit.
Makoto ignored this little moron and headed for the front door of the estate.
Dazai's sneers followed him as he followed suit and continued to tell his nonsense about him and the Boss.
~~ Dazai and Verlaine's bedroom ~~
After harassing Makoto with Mori-san, Dazai had returned to his room with Francesco.
The latter had just returned and they had decided to plan their little journey.
Verlaine being aware of the real objective, he stayed to listen to them.
Esperenza was there too, which did not delight Dazai.
"I don't know what you're both cooking, but I want to tell you that I'm going to accompany you where you've planned to go" Esperenza said.
"I didn't even have to ask her, it's perfect!" thought Paul.
"No" Dazai replied.
"Well, that would be a good idea" Francesco remarked.
Dazai gave him a dark look.
"For the logistical side, that way we can focus on research" explained Francesco.
"It's not meaningless, but having to put up with this witch? No way!" thought Dazai.
"I also think it's a good idea for Esperenza to come with you" Paul said.
"You traitor!" thought Dazai.
"This will calm Mr Paul's mind during your absence, he will know that I will bring you back safe and sound, and so will Miss Antonia" declared Esperenza.
"No" Dazai said again.
"But finally my heart, be reasonable, it's not going to kill you to take Esperenza with you" Paul remarked.
"Oh yes, it will did!" Dazai thought.
"It will slow us down" Dazai argued.
Esperenza gave him an outraged look.
"Stop your bullshits Dazai, you know she's perfectly capable of following us" replied Francesco.
"Well, it's decided, I'm with you" Esperenza concludes.
"I absolutely didn't accept that" Dazai shouted.
"I accept" said Francesco.
"I am surrounded by traitors!" Dazai thought.
"It is not negotiable Dazai, I do not want to learn that you have, once again, disappeared I do not know where" declared Paul.
Dazai looked sullen, while nodding his head in acceptance.
Esperenza and Paul relished their triumph.
Francesco snickered.
They explained the true purpose of their expedition to Esperenza, which did not seem surprising.
"I raised Gio, I know him, he wouldn't let himself be killed so easily, as for his penchant for Chuuya, it was a foregone conclusion, and this Charles, he was dishonest, why would he have told us the truth?" she explained.
They nodded.
"Well, I've put together a list of places that are completely off radar, they're necessarily in one of them" Dazai said.
Francesco waved to him to continue.
"First, the southern part of the Namibian desert" he began.
"No, don't be stupid, who would decide to live in a desert?" Francesco said.
Dazai nodded.
"Indeed, let's reject this place, then the island of Surtsey in Iceland, the Javari Valley in Brazil, the Aleutian Islands in Alaska..." he continued.
"Not Alaska, either" Francesco said.
"Okay, and finally, Pitcairn Island in New Zealand and North Sentinel Island in Thailand" Dazai concludes.
"There were other places but I doubt that Chibi and Giovanni would settle in such unwelcoming places" he added.
"That makes us four places to search" Francesco said.
"Yes, these are the only ones that could be suitable and where Francis' Eyes of God are totally blind" Dazai remarked.
"Well, where do we start?" Esperenza asked.
"Iceland, then Brazil, New Zealand and finally Thailand" announced Dazai.
Esperenza and Francesco nodded.
"How are you going to get there?" asked Paul.
"Well, Esperenza is here for that, right?" Dazai replied with a satisfied smile.
Paul sighed.
"I'll take care of it, I'll see what will be the most efficient way to travel in these places" she said as she walked towards the door.
"Thank you Esperenza" says Francesco.
She smiled at him and left accomplishe her mission.
"I'm going to pack my suitcase" Francesco announced, also leaving the room.
Paul turned to Dazai.
"Try not to be unpleasant with Esperenza, she wants to help you" says him.
"She's the one you should say that to" Dazai replied.
Paul looked exasperated.
Dazai snickered like a fool.
"You're just an unbearable little moron" Paul said.
Dazai stepped forward and hugged him.
"I would make an effort for you" Dazai said.
Paul smiled at him.
"But if she ends up at the bottom of the sea, it won't be my fault" Dazai added.
Paul's smile disappeared, giving way to an exasperate air.
"All right, I wouldn't do anything that threatens Esperenza's life" Dazai capitulated.
Paul displayed a satisfied air.
"Hell, he's leading me by the tip of his nose" Dazai thought.
"Stop smiling, you fool" grumbled Dazai.
Paul burst of laugh.
~~ Monoma and Makoto ~~
After getting Monoma to follow him for a chat, Makoto took them to the inner garden.
Monoma didn't look thrilled.
They faced each other.
"Let's go straight to the heart of the matter" thought Makoto.
"Listen Monoma, I don't know what's happening to you but you have to get your act together, you're going completely insane" Makoto said.
Monoma haded tensed.
"I don't see how this concerns you" Monoma replied.
"It concerns me because your behavior will end up making the Boss crazy, and it is the Port Mafia that will pay the price, I did not join the organization to watch it sink because of a fool who is in a total delirium" replied Makoto.
"I should have known it, Ogai sent him" Monoma thought.
"Glad to know that you consider my grief a total delirium" Monoma commented.
"Stop your bullshits, we're talking about Charles, for God's sake! This guy just flipped your brain and you're not even trying to figure out that you've just been manipulated" Makoto said.
"You don't know what you're talking about" Monoma fumed.
"Oh I do it, you seem to forget that this asshole raped you, kidnapped you, erased your memory and more! Then take yourself back, we're not crying for a guy who traumatized us, we just bandage our wounds and leave this asshole far behind!" exclaimed Makoto.
"Fuck you Makoto, I'll handle my traumas the way I want!" shouted Monoma, angry for good.
"Because behaving like a big asshole, you call that managing?" snickered Makoto.
"Okay, that's enough!" Monoma thought.
He lost control of his nerves and ran into Makoto.
"Come on, you idiot!" thought Makoto.
He punched him in the face, stopping Monoma.
Then the latter threw himself on him and they fell to the ground under the force of the shock.
They began to exchange blows.
~~ Akutagawa ~~
Akutagawa was sitting on a bench in the inner garden, lost in his thoughts, when he saw Monoma and Makoto arrive.
He saw the discussion degenerate gradually.
Then, to his amazement, the two friends began to fight.
"Damn it!"
He got up and ran to get Dazai-san so that he could separate these two idiots.
~~ Dazai and Verlaine ~~
Dazai was sitting on top of Paul, also sitting, in full indecent activity when Akutagawa opened the door on the fly, popping up like a madman in their room.
"Oops" thought Dazai.
Akutagawa looked shocked, losing sight for a moment of why he had come.
Paul quickly covered them with a sheet.
"Well, it's a little late to do that, my heart" Dazai thought.
He suppressed a laugh.
"What's going on, Aku?" he asked.
Akutagawa took back his spirits as if by magic.
"Makoto-san and Monoma-san are in the inner garden, they're fighting" he announced.
"Damn it!" he said, rising suddenly, further traumatizing his student.
He and Paul dressed in speed and ran to the place where his friends were fighting.
"I should have known it would be like this, Monoma is too unstable, damn it! What a bunch of fools!" thought Dazai.
When they arrived, Monoma and Makoto were seriously starting to be in bad shape.
Dazai and Paul stepped in and each grabbed one of the two men.
Monoma tried to hit Paul but hit a wall of gravity.
Makoto did not attack Dazai, he simply stopped.
"What the hell are you two doing, for God's sake?" cried Dazai.
Makoto shrugged.
"This idiot is completely next to his pumps" he said of Monoma.
Monoma, meanwhile, struggled in Paul's arms and began to insult him.
"If you care about life, be careful what you say about my heart, you asshole" Dazai ordered him, his Demonic Prodigy mask in place.
Monoma froze and fell silent.
Dazai stepped forward and flanked his fist in his face.
Monoma collapsed in Paul's arms, knocked out.
Akutagawa arrived.
"Aku, bring these fools for be treated, know that the next one who will screw up will take a phenomenal beating" said Dazai, a threatening look on his face.
Then taking Paul's hand, he turned his heels and left in the direction of their room.
"You know you can be downright creepy sometimes" Paul observed.
Dazai turned his gaze towards him and make a satisfied smile.
"Very good" thoughted Dazai.
