[Let's see how long she lasts without getting kicked out! She closes the door behind her by hand, tucking both hands behind her for now. She doesn't seem to be hiding anything in them, she's just gripping her own arm behind her back.]
I heard that the things I've said to you might be similar to a different conversation you know about.
[He's correct, but she just shrugs. Like she isn't full of tension knowing just how badly this might go.]
I also heard that you decide to do good after that. So if you already know about that conversation, why are you so determined to keep doing bad things here instead?
You know, in an organization full of crime and backstabbing, it's hard to find a true friend. Those friends are the ones you hold onto, no matter what.
It is. They make the rules, but I am their attack dog. When one of you murders someone, I have to bring retribution. When one of you fails at a game, I have to carry out the punishment.
I am the villain here, and the sooner you accept that fact the better.

Saki-san? You want to see me again so soon?

I heard that the things I've said to you might be similar to a different conversation you know about.
[But not one he's necessarily had.]
no subject
Oh? Who told you that?
no subject
You don't have any guesses?

[A very blunt answer, but it does get the point across. Odasaku was his best friend and that was his dying wish, Dazai wasn't about to say no to it. ]
no subject
[Oops.]
no subject
Odasaku is my Oda.
no subject
[She's catching on.]
So... in another world, you two are very close.
[She's assuming, because of that nickname.]

[Sorry Saki. That's a raw wound for him, and he's going to turn and walk over to his desk to go sit down.]
no subject
I wonder... are you really the bad person you keep claiming you are?
no subject
[He's watching her carefully now, though, waiting to see how she answers.]
no subject
There aren't any cameras in here.
[Prefacing with that bit of knowledge. And then:]
You said you're a bad person, but when I first came to talk to you, you hoped I wouldn't choose to kill. And at that meeting just now, you helped us.
no subject
[Saki why do you have to be so observant?]
You're a good person, Saki-san.
When the time comes, I have to execute people. And I don't want to hurt you.
no subject
So it's true...
[Still, this brings up a whole new slew of questions, and she doesn't even know which to start with.]
Then... is it just because of your orders-?
no subject
I am the villain here, and the sooner you accept that fact the better.
no subject
[There's steel in her voice again.]
You told us already: no one has to die.
If no one murders, you won't have to execute anyone.
[He won't have to act on their behalf if they can just prevent them...]
no subject
Hopefully everyone can keep to that plan.
no subject
...Of course, you probably realized that already.
What do you think our chances are of actually achieving that?
no subject
no subject
You still care for him a lot, don't you?
[Oda, she means. But she'll move on coolly enough.]
There are others who don't want to kill, either. How are motives determined? Or is that against the rules for you to say?
