Odaran‼ I'm always thinking about how they briefly met as teens and then again before the end of Dark Era... This was the idea that made me want to join the rarepair event when I first heard about it late July! I actually haven't thought much about the rest of the timeloop/how long it goes for, etc, but I'm sure Ranpo can undoom Oda from the narrative 🥺 It's also been a while since I've drawn a comic so I'm really proud of it, and super happy I was able to finish it in time!

[ID: 3 grayscale digital comic pages about Oda Sakunosuke and Edogawa Ranpo from "Bungou Stray Dogs" during the events of "Dazai Osamu and the Dark Era."
Page 1:
Ranpo: "Because if you go...you're gonna die."
Oda: "I know."
First panel shows Oda and Ranpo talking on a bridge in the rain. Ranpo's thoughts begin: "That man..." Second panel depicts Oda's back as he goes to confront Mimic, walking off into the darkness. Ranpo's thoughts: "I remember." Third panel is a close up of Ranpo's sad and pensive expression, he still has his glasses on. Ranpo's thoughts: "It was //him//..." Fourth panel shows a close up of a teen Oda, in the background is the scene from "The Untold Origins of the Detective Agency" when Ranpo and Fukuzawa see Oda surrender after killing his employer. Ranpo's thoughts end: "...from all those years ago."
Page 2:
4 staggered panels with Ranpo's thoughts overlapping the scenes.
"It's strange." First panel shows Ranpo looking out the window while eating a lollipop. Second panel has Yosano smiling with a nondescript speech bubble. "Yosano said the same thing yesterday." Third panel is a close up of a file folder stuffed with papers, the labels nondescript. "The president asked me to pick up more stuff from that place." Fourth panel depicts Ranpo holding an umbrella from behind on the same bridge he ran into Oda, he is looking over at the water. "It's raining //again//."
Page 3:
In a sequence of 3 panels, a shadowy scribbled figure passes by a scribbled Ranpo, the third panel depicts an extreme close up of Ranpo's eye widened in shock. The final scene shows the Ranpo grabbing Oda's arm tightly, leaning towards him with a concerned expression. Oda turns and looks at Ranpo in slight surprise. Their figures are outside but overlapping the fourth panel, which shows the vista from the bridge. This time the rain has stopped and the clouds are lighter.
