It had been a day since erity and dazai had brought back atsushi, tanizaki and naomi to the agency and brought them into the infirmary where erity met Yosano Akiko for the second time who had taken one look at erity and a light bulb had gone off.

she was the doctor from the agency erity had heard of, her ability. Thou Shalt Not Die, allowed her to heal external wounds. However, to heal someone they must first be "half-dead" meaning they must have fatally serious injuries before she can use her ability. Due to this, her ability is inconvenient for healing minimal wounds since she needs to fatally injure that person first.

erity had been advised to try and not get injured but erity payed it no mind, she had her own healing ability. although it would be nice if it didn't work on it's own for her.

erity once again sat in front of the open window with her legs perched up the window sill like yesterday, her head leaned back with her eyes closed as before when she heard a scream coming from around the infirmary.

Doctor Yosano must be treating someone again

"Wh-wh-what should i do? the mafia might launch a raid on the agency. but why me?" she heard atshuhi's panicked voice lightly from the infirmary.

he has woken up it seems

"I haven't lost my cool!" she heard kunikida shout a little later and listened as he went of about how he wasn't panicked about the port mafia but clearly was.

and kunikida is with him, knew he was worried

a little later she heard the infirmary door click open making her put her feet down and turn around with the chair, getting up and deciding to leave the office to go down to the cafe. not feeling up to kunikida's nagging if he where to see her, what he called 'slacking'.

-

erity walked up the stairs, she had forgotten her jacket back up in the office and they held her earbuds and thought now was the best time to get them if she didn't want to be seen by kunikida and end up being nagged to as she had seen him passing through the first floor with a big stack of books.

as she continued the walk up the stairs she heard another pair of footsteps making her look up to see atsushi going down the stairs, he had a serious expression but his eyes held a certain sadness as well as fear, she also noticed him carry a bag around his shoulder and it didn't take her long to realize what was happening.

"Atsushi-kun" she called out making him snap out of his thoughts and stop as he looked up to her, they now stood on the second floor in front of each other.

"Erity-kun..." he trialed off as his eyes looked into her empty once he had gotten used to over the couple days they had known each other.

"Your going somewhere" she said as she broke the eye contact and glanced down at his bag.

he followed her eyes and flinched slightly as he saw his bag making him remember what he was going to do, what he had to do.

"Oh. yeah, but..uhm, i won't be long" he told her with a nervous tone that he tried to hide as he looked back up at her with a forced smile as he scratched the back of his head.

she watched him for a couple seconds making him more nervous as he let down his arm.

"Alright, see you later" she told him with her monotonous voice and went back to walking up the stairs. passing him but stopped a couple steps up "And be careful" she added before continuing.

-

erity sat at the bar. this time a cup of black tea in her hands as dazai sat next to her, flirting with the waitress once again. she payed it no mind though as she just enjoyed her tea while her eyes where closed.

"i have finally found a reason to live" dazai spoke next to her as he held and softly caressed the waitresses hand "A reason to live? No, a reason i'd kept on living till now. that's right, i've lived to this day so that i can be in a double suicide with you. i'm sure of it, ah. bella donna" he continued.

erity brought her cup down from her lips with a soft satisfied sigh before opening her eyes and glancing at the waitress to see her with a forceful smile.

"Feel free to do it on your own" the waitress told him.

ouch

"A double-suicide is not possible alone" dazai explained still holding the waitress hand.

"by the way, dazai-san?" the waitress questioned sweetly.

this is gonna be good

"Do you have a proper life insurance policy?" she asked him.

"Why would you ask that, bella donna?" he asked her back, getting a bit nervous.

"Well...Because you have racked up quite a tab, If you haven't gotten one yet" she told him before leaning closer "i'll. be. happy. to. refer. you. one" she spoke one by one.

their was a silence between them as erity just continued to sip her tea, watching the two quiet amused although it was hard to tell as she still held an expressionless face.

"Ah, your vitality is blinding" dazai spoke as he swayed.

"Aw, if that's the best you've got for changing the subject. i'm going to go ahead and barge into your agency on the fourth floor" the waitress told him.

"Ah, your decisiveness is even more blinding" he told her.

erity glanced up as she heard the slight recuse but didn't bother with it to much as she knew the agency could handle it and went back to watching as dazai now reluctantly payed his tab with a pout.

the waitress thanked him with that overly sweet smile although you could see that she was also relieved before turning around and going back to work, probably having enough of his flirting.

dazai whined about having to pay his tab but erity didn't mind it as sh just continued to drink the rest of her tea until it's up. she payed for it and excused herself as she heard the recuse had ended.

walking up to the fourth floor, she stopped right next to the office door, and leaned against the wall. not wanting to walk in and have the attention be on her, she listened as someone shouted that she recognized as atsushi.

he's back

"I...I...I'm not crying!" atshuhi shouted, sounding embarrassed.

"You are" kunikida's voice was heard.

"I'm not!" atsushi denied.

"Just look at you, you're so typical for your generation. even when given a job, you just go off and play without permission. you cry if anyone gives so much as a word of criticism"

"That's not it, that's not what this is about" atsushi defended himself.

"But you're crying" kunikida pointed out.

"I am..." atshuhi trailed off "But that isn't what this is about!" he shouted again.

erity waited a couple minutes longer to make sure everybody had gone to do their own thing, making it save to walk in without anybody really noticing her.

as she turned and stood in front of the office door, she saw atsushi still standing not to far away.

"Welcome back" she spoke softly as she came to stand next to him making him look up surprised as he turned to her.

as they looked at each other, he gave her a genuine smile and she nodded before turning to look in front of her, atsushi doing the same.

they sure did a number on the office

-

erity didn't stay long in the office as she knew that the moment kunikida saw her, she would first have to hear an earful and then be forced to help clean up which she definitely didn't want to do.

come on, she hadn't even cleaned her own apartment yet.

but she also knew staying down in the cafe wouldn't work anymore either, so she decided to go take a walk trough yokohama instead.

she walked with her eyes closed when she heard the flow off water, making her stop and open her eyes before turning to the side.

she was stood on a bridge, the sun light shining right on her. taking couple steps to the railing she looked down and let out a soft gasp as her eyes widened brightly.

should's a gorgeous river

the bright look left thought when she remembered the last time she tried it this way.

but last time my submerging was interrupted

she looked down at the river as she taught about it before her eyes went back to their normal empty once and she made her way to the other side of the rail, holding onto it with one hand as she let herself lean forward.

oh well, it never hurts to try again and how could i ever resist shoulds a marvelous river

she looked down for another second before letting go as she closed her eyes, a splash was heard.

and then another as someone had done the exact same thing as her on the other side of the bridge, both not having noticed each other.
