[Dazai definitely has jumped from moving vehicles before--both out of necessity and because he wanted to--but he doesn't plan on it this time. If he wanted to run, which he still sort of does, he would have done it before agreeing to get into a cab with Chuuya, before suggesting they go back to his place. This whole air between them is weird, and Dazai finds himself distressingly restless because of it.]
If I was trying to scare people off, I'd have been rid of you a long time ago.
[Chuuya is just spouting typical insults, irrelevant to the matter at hand, but if scaring people off worked, then this would have worked out far better for him. Chuuya would have left him alone. He wouldn't have ended up almost dying because he trusted Dazai to get them out of that situation--or because he didn't want to see Dazai get a bullet in the head.
They'd both have been better off if he'd just let it happen, but Dazai doubts saying so is going to get him anywhere, and he doesn't really want to keep thinking about that. He's relived it in his head often enough since.]
