Drinking the rest of the alcohol Dazai sighed. "Until some time ago, I had never thought about the possibility of exchanging sheep and wolves. Someone who had as much irrationality as rationality." Dazai was silent for a few seconds, then he continued, "And to tell you the truth

, this type of person is... fascinating and a true anomaly in nature and the food chain." Dazai rested his forearms on the counter with a sigh, the music already lowered. "What they have in predictability, they have in unpredictability. It is impossible to know what is going on

someone's head, who is an anomaly to nature." then he stopped "Someone who can be both the cause of violence and the pacifist. It's incredibly confusing the way these types of people act. There is no logic whatsoever in what they do." In reality they are not even aware of their

your own intelligence. "Ah, a sheep who kills is most likely a wolf. But who can tell? Sheep are such... quiet creatures, sweet and loyal to their shepherd... would anyone ever tell them they were actually a wolf?" No, of course not. "Besides not having any way to prove it,

No one will ever call them carnivores, when in reality... they only eat grass? They are herbivores, aren't they? A sheep that eats meat is... strange." Again, a silent pause. "So, tell Odasaku... who would want such creatures? Anomalies of nature. They eat both grass and meat

, according to the situation. But because they are supposedly tame animals like sheep, we will never know what they want. " then looking with some intensity at Oda, Dazai said "Even if you try to offer them meat they will opt for grass." he smiled "And why? First it is easier to

to obtain, without having to hunt like carnivores, because sheep eat and want meat. Secondly, being sheep superficially, they should choose what is right and not what their stomach wants." A somewhat indecipherable smile appeared on Dazai's lips. "Interesting, isn't it?"

he sighed "A sheep changes its existence according to the circumstance, sacrificing a piece of meat for dry grass... which does not taste as good to them as meat would taste to them, but! " Dazai leaned back a little, thoughtful " Being silent animals, no one will ever notice

that their stomachs growl with hunger for meat. Why?" The boy smiled emotionlessly "Because they don't speak, they remain silent and the silence... is something almost terrifying." In silence there is room for everything, good and bad. It is in silence that uncertainties arise.

Dazai sighed with a smile. "I already told you about my partner, didn't I?" Oda just looked at him in response. "Well, he's the perfect example of a sheep. The most terrifying type of sheep. The flexible one." Nakahara Chuuya it was a dog, Dazai had jokingly called him,

except... he wasn't. If Chuuya had been the dog Dazai had called him... He would never have given in to the pleas of his former organization. He would never have accepted with some hesitation and bitterness his brother's declarations. He would have given in to Dazai's orders

But he had done none of that. Chuuya was unique and therefore an anomaly in the framework of the functioning of the world that Dazai had observed. Despite having been a raw meat eater, Chuuya did not fit into this metaphor. And now, Dazai saw this. "He's unique." finally he

said "I will never understand what he does and what he doesn't do" Call Dazai smart, but when it came to Nakahara Chuuya the boy refused to enter into that aura of strangeness and mystery. In fact, it scared him. Chuuya seemed to have the ability and power to control him.

And he didn't even need to do much, Dazai would willingly trust his judgment. Something new and.... strange. "Where does he fit then? The good side? The ones who don't eat meat? Or the herbivores?" Dazai paused for what seemed like a thoughtful moment, then said

"Neither. No place can ever be this... flexible it would have been impossible to archive the temporary balance." he lowered his head, closing his eyes, sighing "So... then what? Then, I let him choose." In the world, flexibility of Nakahara Chuuya's existence was actually

*in the end a threat. "Confusing as he is and I know I will never understand him completely... I let him choose." he laughed a bit "Risky right? Trusting a two-faced person is indeed a risky move." But in truth, Dazai really had no place to tell him anything. He, himself was

not exactly the most trustworthy person in the world. If Chuuya trusted Dazai it meant he had to choice. "Then," Oda's voice called him back "You think it's more safe chosing a wolf than a sheep, but you choose the sheep" Dazai didn't respond, looking ahead without speaking.

"That's right. Am I reckless?" he looked over his friend. After looking at him for seconds, Oda just sighed. "You know the best for you Dazai." then he asked "Is the trouble worth it?" Dazai blinked confusingly. "I suppose. Chuuya is loud and annoying but, he is not boring"

It was definitely worth it. But between the silent and quiet sheep Chuuya and the dog/wolf Chuuya, Dazai would rather deal with Chuuya's loud growling and barking than his silence. Because in the silence, there was nothing to see. Chuuya was a shadow.

"I don't mind the noise Chuuya makes no matter how annoying it is." Dazai admitted, his hand on his now empty glass. "I always prefer the dog to the sneaky sheep. It's easier to know what a dog wants and it becomes boring" he sighed "But... that's why I make sure Chuuya is always

annoyed and alive with me. I hate when he is silent." he paused "I saw it twice." he paused again "I don't wish to see it ever again." After all, as intelligent and flexible he was, everybody has their limitations. "But, his problem is... his emotions. They are his worst enemy.

" Dazai said "When Chuuya doesn't show any emotion, it makes me really scared. It means... he, is going to eventually, explode...." Like a bomb. Boom.
