A will to live.
It was unheard of. Dazai? Refusing sweet, sweet death? Impossible.
Yet, here you two were, each struggling to survive as Yokohama became infested with corrupted, twisted human-like beings.
This "plague" spread like wildfire, clinging to all those unfortunate souls it came in contact with like a parasite. For the first time in years, the Port Mafia and the Armed Detective Agency actually worked together to survive, regardless of their differences. This proved just how dire the whole situation was.
However, large groups of people easily attracted the corrupted, so the Armed Detective Agency was forced to split, each going their own way in an attempt to overcome this terrible plague.
No one knew if their friends and collegues were...still alive or not.
Yet, when Dazai heard of a rumour that you had been spotted nearby not long ago, he knew. He knew that he had to survive... At least for you.
