Twenty minutes had passed and no one had left the infirmary. Slowly, everyone was getting worried. Normally, Yosano never took that long, because actually her patient only had to be in mortal danger and then she could heal him with her ability and Chuuya looked very much like it.

Exhausted by the long wait, Daira had fallen asleep on the Agency's sofa. Her cheeks still pink from all the tears and stress .

Everyone felt sorry for her and everyone was eager to hear the whole story from Dazai.

To Naomi's question what had happened, Kunikida had only replied that when he and Dazai arrived at the house there was only a ruin. The entire mafia had been beaten and in the middle, among the rubble, stood a red-haired man. He staggered and Dazai ran off and found him. Then they had come back and Dazai had told Kunikida that he would explain everything later. The silence of the office was interrupted by the double door of the hospital room that opened. Everyone looked at Dazai who was just entering the room. He looked around the room, then landed of his gaze on Daira, who was sleeping on the sofa, and he stepped forward and sat down next to her. He just looked at her.

Kunikida cleared his throat and when Dazai looked up at him, he asked, "Could you please explain everything to us now?" "You've read the letter, haven't you?" said Dazai, exhausted. Everyone nodded.

Naomi had Kunikida read the letter.

Dazai he took a deep breath, then he began to tell:

"I don't know what you rhymed together or how much you understood, so I'll start at the beginning. Chuuya and I met when we were 15 years old. At that time I was working in the mafia. My assignment at that time was to find a young person who had an extraordinary ability. Mori desperately wanted him in the mafia. It turned out that Chuuya was this youth.When he joined the Port Mafia, he and I were assigned by Mori to work in a team. We didn't like each other at all at first and always teased each other. At the age of 16 we secretly became a couple. Nobody knew about it and then I left the mafia for 18 years. I knew nothing. You have to believe me. And now he may never wake up again."

The others looked at him in horror. Then Tachihara said, "But why? Can't Yosano help him?". " Something is wrong with his ability. I can't cure him," said da Yosano, who had entered unnoticed by everyone. "Dazai, do you know why?" she asked him. Dazai just said, "I know why. I had hoped that it would work. However, I can't tell you that. Chuuya has to decide for himself whether he wants to tell you that."Today really seemed to be the day when the members of the ADA were always surprised and confused.

But before they could ask further questions, they were interrupted by a sleepy voice that asked, "How is Mom?" Everyone looked at Daira, who had just woken up and rubbed her eyes. She hadn't heard of the conversation.

"Your mom is resting a bit. Do you want to see her?" replied Yosano and Daira just nodded.

So Yosano took her by the hand and led her into the hospital room. The others hesitated briefly, then followed the two.

Dazai was the last to enter the room. In one of the beds lay a delicate figure. As they stepped closer, they saw that it was the person from the photo. Chuuya only looked a little older but he looked very feminine. Dazai thought he looked beautiful, even though he had his eyes closed and looked slightly sickly. Daira stepped closer to the bed, then asked, "That's Mom, isn't it?" When Yosano nodded, she added, "Mom is always the most beautiful. No matter what it looks like. But tell me she's fine, isn't she?" Yosano smiled at her. "Your mom just needs to rest a bit. She's sleeping, so you have to be a little quieter not to wake her ok?" Daira nodded as if she understood and sat down from the chair next to the bed.Yosano looked briefly at Chuuya and checked if everything was alright, then turned to Dazai and the others. She spoke English so Daira didn't understand what she was saying. "He's in a coma. I can't say when he will wake up. But someone will have to take care of Daira. Dazai, do you think you can?" Dazai nodded. He understood and knew that he owed Chuuya at least that, and he also wanted to get to know Daira better. His daughter. It felt weird to call her that and at the same time so right. He knelt in front of Daira's chair and asked her, "Your mom will sleep a little longer, but she's fine. Do you want to come with me as long as possible? You can stay with me as long as you want, and I would also like to talk a bit. All right?". Daira nodded, then she had to yawn again.

Since they were all tired, they decided to go home for today and since Daira was even too tired to walk, Dazai carried her home on his arm.
