[Ah, there we go, Dazai thinks as Chuuya starts to stir. The investigation, the rescue; those were all fine, accomplished with little enough effort. If he's gotten injured during it all, it's not especially serious, and no one will ever know for the bandages covering him as a habit.
This is the part he's not looking forward to: the aftermath, where people may want to talk about things. Happenings; feelings. Why can't things simply be over when they're over? But humans aren't very good at letting go, and Chuuya is the worst at it of all of them.]
That's my line.
[Dazai's voice doesn't lose its borderline playful undertone, refusing to allow any seriousness in, but serious he is, admonishing. It's really dumb of Chuuya to let himself be kidnapped that way, not to mention rude to make Dazai fix it. (Not that Chuuya forced Dazai, technically - however, he might as well have, since he didn't rescue himself! Clearly it counts.)
But the less said about that, the better, so:] What is this trash that you're reading?
[Something pretentious and French, matching Chuuya's taste in wine but not his literally-anything-else.
That's definitely a better thing to focus on than anything more serious.]
