    Summary

    Dazai appears on the street, head turning around before he fixates on the motorbike and its rider. He makes an immediate beeline for them, and though Atsushi can't see their face for the helmet blocking it, he hopes they can see his face and the get away immediately look he’s sending in their direction.

    They don't kick off of the pavement and roar away into the traffic, so either they don't see him or have chosen to ignore him. He spares a small prayer for the person, about to turn away from whatever scene is about to commence outside when Dazai steps right up against the person, far too close for it to be at all friendly.

    He winces, squinting his eyes until they're almost shut, waiting for the inevitable attack on Dazai. The person doesn't react at all, leaning back a little further and not winding up to punch Dazai square across the jaw.

    ---

    Or: five times Dazai’s co-workers observe his interactions with his...spouse (?), and one time the confusion is (mostly) removed.

    Summary

    The Armed Detective Agency receives a mission to investigate and take down an assassin group that has been targeting high-profile individuals through a very specific method: first, the target is sent into an unwakeable sleep for a week, and second, when they wake up, they are unable to speak. Third and last, they die of a heart attack two weeks later. Ranpo suggests negotiating with the Port Mafia for the aid of executive Chuuya Nakahara, wanting to have Double Black at their disposal. But when Chuuya arrives… he cannot speak.

    Chuuya Nakahara has been targeted, and supposedly, he has two weeks left until he is killed.

    Summary

    Chuuya had a working theory: only weirdos went to the grocery store after 8pm on the weekend.

    So should he really be so surprised that on one particular evening Dazai Osamu happens to be one of them?

    OR:

    Chuuya and Dazai accidentally meet after not having spoken since they broke up in high school four years prior — and then Dazai refuses to leave Chuuya's life again.

    Summary

    “You need to train that beast,” Dazai commented as the dog continued to shower Chuuya in slobbery kisses, “it knocked me over and drooled all over me — you two must be kindred spirits.”

    “She’s very well trained, actually,” Chuuya countered haughtily, frowning as he gently pushed the animal off of him and gave Dazai his attention, “she was trying to show you affection, not that you’d know anything about that.”

    OR:

    Chuuya takes in a dog and Dazai makes it his mission to win the animal's affection... just to piss Chuuya off, of course.

    Summary

    “The Agency dorms are being fumigated,” Dazai explained cheerfully. “So, I offered—Atsushi can stay with us.”

    Or: Atsushi's observations from inside Yokohama's strangest household.
