INSTALLMENT THREE: I WALK THE LINE

INSTALLMENT FOUR: COMING DOWN
SUMMARY: something is up. you know it. dazai is being far too romantic and you're absolutely not buying the excuses he keeps giving you. it's whatever, you think, you'll enjoy the fancy dinner and fancier hotel, even with the imminent threat of the looming bomb about to drop.
