He is fine though.  He has no major injuries, he's only unconscious.  Oh, and the Tanizaki siblings are recovering with our esteemed Yosano-sensei!"

[Y/n] cringed as she'd heard stories of the woman's abilities, and the practices she used.

"Poor kids...  Yukichi-san, you know I wouldn't ask this without a reason, right..."

Dazai's head perked up slightly at her words before noticing the eye contact the president was making with the girl before nodding his head and saying, "You can see the boy. Though he is not awake--"

"I'd like to see him still...  I can tell he-- I can tell that he doesn't think anyone will be there when he wakes up.  He said that he doesn't want anyone else to die for him when he transformed, I think he might think the siblings are dead and that maybe no one will be there when he wakes up."

Her fist clenched again as she leaned forward in her seat and locked eyes with the president, "And that's never a feeling anyone should feel..."

The President and the girl stared into each other's eyes as if whoever looked away first wouldn't get their way.  It was an almost natural staredown between the two, but Dazai just felt left out at this point.  He did create an interesting theory during their interaction though.

She might have been abandoned once in her past, and that might have made her sensitive to Atsushi's situation.

Eventually, the President sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose before saying, "Are you implying to go now, in your-- attire?"

The girl looked at her appearance before nodding and saying, "I'll bring a jacket."

The President sighed once more and said, "You will put on a proper pair of pants as well?"

The girl smiled brightly before nodding and standing to her feet while jogging to a room across the sprawling apartment and saying, "I'll be right out!  I'm also going to grab an extra change of clothes!"

"No need, we have spare clothes at the Agency."

As the door closed, Dazai turned to the President before smirking and saying, "Just who is she to you, President?"

The President took a sip from the tea [Y/n] had prepared him before sending a side glance to his detective and saying, "She is a close friend who I met one night."

Dazai was upset with the answer he'd received.  Not even a bit of information was slipped out except the time at which they met.  He brought a hand to his chin before mumbling out, "Night, hmm?"

The President took another sip from the tea before saying, "Don't read too far between the lines that aren't there, Dazai.  It is her past, not yours."

"As chivalrous as always."

A voice broke through their conversation.

"Okay, I'm ready!"

The President rose from his seat before straightening his clothes and frowning at her attire. "(Y/n), those black skintight pantyhose don't suffice, put on actual pants."

"They're athletic leggings, they're not pantyhose. And, these WILL suffice. I'm not meeting anyone important and I want to be comfortable."

The President just sighed before turning towards her front door and saying, "It will do, but I don't want men crawling all over you."

[Y/n] had just thrown on a pair of leggings and a spare hoodie to wear. Yukichi was honestly the most old-fashioned man she'd ever met. Anytime she wore leggings or skinny jeans he'd just frown and say something like, "Please wear looser clothing. I don't want men begging to bed you."

She just rolled her eyes before petting Mochi once more and refilling the white feline's food and water bowls before saying, "Hold down the fort while I'm gone, and if anyone comes in, eat them."

She heard a muffled laugh from the door before seeing the brunette detective holding a hand over his mouth and saying, "Ah, I-*pfftt* I'm not laughing— I-it's just *pfft* adorable."

(Y/n) couldn't help but blush at the man's words before grabbing her keys and bag off the counter she'd left them on. She then took her cellphone off the charger and she pulled up the hood of her hoodie to hide her blush from the detective who'd helped put it there...

"Let's go... Idiot..."

The trio left the apartment with Dazai pouting and complaining about being called an idiot as a click was heard when (Y/n) locked the door to her apartment and left to see the boy that reminded her of herself before she'd been able to truly be happy.  

He reminded her of when she was a broken husk.
