We meet again Dazai

(Mentions of su!cide)

The phone call from the previous chapter

Hello, is this Nakajima
Atsushi?"

"Yes"

"It's about Akutagawa......."

"......."

"His condition got worse, and he says that he wants to see you"

"Oh......okay I'll be right there"

Atsushi went home and he had tears streaming down his face.

He couldn't stop crying.

'Sniff'

"I have to find my car keys..." He mumbled.

Once he found his keys he waited a few minutes for his face to puff down (I don't know if that's the right term or not)

Atsushi went out to his car and drove to the hospital. He walked into it and made his way to the receptionist.

"Could I please visit Ryūnosuke Akutagawa?" Atsushi asked while his hands were joint together.

"Of course, the room is 276"

He walked up 2 floors until he got to the 276th door.

He prepared himself for the few minutes he'd be in there, he wasn't going to cry.

He walked in.

Akutagawa was sitting up looking out a window, he looked over to see Atsushi standing at the door. At first Akutagawa looked a bit surprised but then he smiled a tiny bit.

"Oh, hey Jinko"

With the others

Chuuya was the first to leave, mainly because Dazai was pissing him off.
Rampo was second to leave because Poe wrote a new mystery novel.

The only two left were Dazai and the 16 year old.

"Can I jump off a bridge?" The 16 year old asked.

"No"

"Drown myself?"

"It's ineffective"

"Poison myself?"

"Depends"

"I just named perfect ideas so why can't I do one of them?"

Dazai sighed
"As I said, jumping off a bridge might hurt, drowning yourself doesn't work and poisoning yourself will hurt depending on what poison you use"

"Then what can I do?"

Dazai thought for a moment and had the perfect idea.
He looked at the 16 year old and smirked.

"You can go on a mission with me" Dazai suggested.

The 16 year old thought about it and then agreed.
Dazai went over and got a file and a black hooded jacket.

"What's the jacket for?" The 16 year old asked.

Dazai handed it to him
"Put it on" he advised

The 16 year old put it on and Dazai hid the 16 year olds face in the hood.
They both started walking down the Adas hall.

"Why do I have to wear this?" The 16 year old boy asked.

"Because you're working for the Port Mafia" Dazai explained
