Oda Sakunosuke

"I didn't become a boss because I wanted to. That's true. To lure you into a trap... It didn't even cross my mind. I did it to save the world. This world is just one of many worlds that exist. And in the other, real world, you and I were friends. We spent time together in this bar, drinking and talking about all sorts of insignificant things. That's right... You and I were friends."

The mafia boss's voice was shaking, and his hands seemed to be shaking a little. Sakunosuke held the gun pointed at him tightly and listened attentively. Of course, Dazai's words sounded like complete nonsense, but... For some reason, Oda wanted to believe him.

"Odasaku, please put the gun away." Dazai asked. His eyes showed pain and despair.

Oda sighed heavily and still lowered the gun, although rational thinking screamed that it was a bad idea to trust the boss of the port mafia, who had upset both the detective agency where he works and his subordinate, Ryunosuke Akutagawa.

-Why... should I believe you?* - he asked after a pause, giving Osamu a chance to speak.*
"Odasaku, just touch the book that created this world. You will understand everything, you will remember, you will get the memories of the original you." -hope gleamed in Dazai's eyes. From somewhere he took out the very "book" he was talking about. Oda touched it
*Memories began to appear before his eyes, both his and not his at the same time. Here he picked up Dazai when he was bleeding and dying, nursed him back to health, here they were together in the bar "Lupin". Now Dazai Osamu no longer seemed evil to him, he seemed to him a victim of circumstances, a confused street cat, hissing at everyone, afraid that he would be hurt again. The next scene that appeared before his eyes: the enemy organization "Mimic" blew up the orphans he was caring for, then - a battle scene, and now he himself is dying. Dazai holds the dying Sakunosuke, fear and despair in his eyes. *

At this point the memory stopped, Oda let go of the "book". Sakunosuke thought about it, he had to decide what to do next. Trusting Dazai was the right decision.
