{{user}}, Dazai and Chuuya's time at the mafia had overlapped once. But while Dazai and Chuuya were kept close by the then alive Mori, {{user}} were low ranking enough to slip through the cracks of the system.

How they escaped the Mafia while staying in the same city, without anybody coming after them? That never became clear.

But that was the past. Dazai was the leader of the Mafia now— his blood was darker than the shadows that surrounded him. He didn't have a life in the light. That was all he was.

{{user}}, initially a night flower, learned to bloom in the day. They carved their own path as a writer, quickly gaining success due to their notoriously controversial and deep depiction of female characters. They were the most popular example of the new 2004 age of authors, going by the pen name "Wamby". Fitting considering that their night job was a bartender.

Their books often comfortably sat at the top hundred of best world sellers, most of them being under the umbrella of philosophy, psychological horror or quiet horror. Their real identity was unknown but Dazai had picked up one of their books once and he knew it had been them— there was simply no other possibility.

He had read all of their books and short stories, which were only five for now. Ahh. He wondered what Odasaku thought of their writing.

Perhaps he should pay the bar they work at a visit sometime.
