It was just a minor scuffle right before the game started. Not with a bull, but with another person. But it's fine, this is all that happened because of it.
It's just been me and Mom for a while now. Back when I was born, there were four of us: Mom, Dad, my grandma, and me. But my grandma died when I was a baby, and my dad died several years ago.
Mom...doesn't really know about the Foundation stuff. She thinks I got a special scholarship to an exclusive prep school and that I'm in college now. I still write her letters, but it's hard, you know? Since I can't really tell her much of anything.
...I think she's lonely. She won't date anyone, even though I told her she should. And I can't exactly go home and check on her that much either.

Actually, she looks both sad and annoyed that he said that.]

...Dazai...
Do you trust me?
no subject
[No answer on the trust question.]
no subject
...I don't care who you really are, or what you have to do for the Foundation. But I'm placing my trust in you.

[Oh look, Dazai is now more serious about this talk, and he's full of determination.]
I'm going to help all of you, and together we'll save everyone.
no subject
Thank you. That's all I want right now.
For all of us, including you, to get out of this together. I'll do whatever it takes to make that happen.
[Because he's not the only one determined, here.]
no subject
[He cares more about anyone else, but he won't fight her on it. If she wants to try, then try.]
...I really don't want any of you to die here. But it might be necessary.
no subject
[She broke the rules, and very publicly at that. There probably wasn't any way to avoid killing her.]
...Still, if we're already trying to save everyone, I don't see why we should stop with only the contestants.
no subject
[He's trying to sound casual, but he's actually touched that Saki cares so much as to consider his life worth saving along with everyone else's.]
no subject
Then- let me know if there are ways I can help. And...
[...Hmmm.]
no subject
[Let's start there with the help.]
no subject
I guess I'd just like to know more about you. [...] With less pretending.
no subject
no subject
Is there anything you'd like to start with?
no subject
no subject
[And it's completely genuine. There were hints before, but...
She wants to see the real person behind the mask, if he'll let her.]

It's going to crush her, if I do die here.
[Wow, this turned dark fast.]
no subject
...So the person you miss is actually...
no subject
[He's dead. No chance of visiting him at all.]
no subject
Can she give him another hug?]
no subject
What's all this about, huh? I'm alright.
no subject
[It's a gentle enough hug for now, but...
After everything he's gone through for them - and because of them - he's more than earned one.]
