   Summary

   Dazai's life was built from trades, and while he knew not every trade he made or was involved in was fair, he didn't realise how much that fact nagged on his soul. It hadn't mattered though, and after he had left the mafia, he could ignore the parts of himself he gave away as something lost to time. Too bad old habits were too hard to get rid of when faced with the prospect of convenience.
   Who's he kidding though, it was never truly about convenience, a fact Chuuya learned first, and what the ADA learned next.
