Opinions without 3.1415 are just Onions (Week1 post trial)

After everything, the house seems almost too still and too mundane. At least as long as the doors to that room remain closed. One by one those covered in what was once their teammate are lead to the showers or change in silence. There is no warm meal waiting for them. No words of encouragement.

Life goes on, regardless.

[Dazai takes a seat right in front of Jack's line of sight. he's in a spare field agent uniform and has barely any bandages on because they're all getting washed but despite looking a little frazzled and tired, he's meeting Jack's stare with a small smile.]

--Evening, Dazai. How you holding up?

I'm doing all right, all things considered.

... thank you for listening and acting on my request earlier.

[ nods ]

I figured you wouldn't have asked if you didn't have a good reason for it.

That's right.

In the event that we ever get stuck in determining who's committed a crime, Ango will be our best bet with his ability.

To avoid needless casualties...

[ taking that all in ]

An ability to help uncover the truth? Does it cost him a lot to use?

Or is there another reason? [ LIKE PERHAPS PEOPLE WOULD WANT To SILENCE HIM? ]

Both reasons are why I made the request.

[BOY HOWDY, A MURDERER MIGHT JUST GO AT HIM DURING A TRIAL.]

Ango's a fairly sturdy individual himself, but we're dealing with extreme violence with extreme emotions being influenced by the miasma. He's also being affected by the miasma like everyone else here, so compounding that is...

[rough, to say the least.]

[ A BIG FUCKING YIKES ]

There's a lot of uncertainties going on here. Not a lot in what we can predict. But, I'll be here to help you out, whenever you need it.

I really do appreciate that, Jack-san.

It was really a relief, if I'm honest. I thought I'd only helped botch things for a moment there.

No, you're not the only one to think that way.

I've been doing some thinking myself, trying to see if there was anything that could have been done differently.
