    Summary

    For Dazai, joining the Decay is just a ploy - a way to gather information for the Agency. Until its much, much more

    OR

    The broken sobs Dazai made were too rough to not be real.

    Fyodor would know.

    Many years ago, before he learnt to wear an emotionless mask at all times, he had heard the same sobs coming from a different - smaller and rounder - mouth.

    Those sobs can not be faked by most people, like a confession of love or extreme happiness, for they are the purest expression of feeling, as if you're baring your soul for the world to see.

    Those sobs are a clear sign of a broken mind.

    He had known Osamu was broken (had known since he met him; many years ago), yet it was still unsettling to witness such a sign of weakness from a man he considered so strong.

    Dazai was almost saintly in Fyodor's eyes, his ability the hand of an angel purifying the sin that was 'abilities' in this god-forsaken world.

    But even angels can fall from heaven.
