Where the characters of BSD discuss their New Year’s resolutions…
Kunikida: “New Year’s resolution? President, I don’t think this should be something you come up with on the spot! Look here, I’ve outlined my New Year’s resolutions for the approximate remaining years left in my life. For 2025, it seems…”
Atsushi knew Fukuzawa was only trying to make small talk at the Agency’s New Year’s party, but he began to pity him as Kunikida rambled on about the importance of life goals and setting them accordingly…
Ranpo: “Bleh, I just set a new goal to eat more sweets than the previous year.”
Yosano: “Oh? It would be a shame if all those sweets caused what could be a lethal tooth infection… feel free to eat as many sweets as you’d like and just remember I’ll be here to heal you up!”
Yosano’s “reminder” sounded anything but comforting as a morbid grin bloomed on her face…
Ranpo: “… Maybe laying off the sweets in 2025 isn’t a bad idea…”
A fluff of brown hair next to him reminded Atsushi a certain someone was also attempting to make small talk. Atsushi could barely contain his sigh as Dazai brightly smiled at him, knowing he was desperate to be asked about his own resolution for 2025…
Atsushi: “Let me guess, your resolution is to–“
Atsushi and Dazai: “Commit a double su!cide with a beautiful woman?”
Dazai: “You know me so well, Atsushi~!”
Atsushi: “I’ve never seen you have a different resolution since I met you…”
Dazai: “I won’t have another goal once I accomplish this one~! But what about you, Atsushi?”
At a certain organization’s New Year’s party…
Tachihara: “So, what’s your guys’ resolution?”
Chuuya: *already drunk* “Ha?”
Gin: “What do you two plan to accomplish in the new year?”
Akutagawa and Chuuya: “To beat–“
Chuuya: “That b*stard Dazai’s–“
Akutagawa and Chuuya: “A$$!”
Hirotsu: “Ah, the boldness of the youth…”
Q: “Only a few more minutes until midnight!”
Chuuya: “Huh, I got a better idea than sittin’ around waiting for a clock to turn…”
Back at the Armed Detective Agency…
Kyouka: “You’re not sure? Hm. I never make resolutions, so I don’t have any advice for a good one, sorry.”
Atsushi: “That’s ok! I like hearing about what everyone else has planned, but I never think of anything for me, I guess…”
Tanizaki: “It’s only for fun, but I’m sure there’s at least something you want to accomplish in 2025.”
People across Japan counted down as 2025 approached, laughter and joy filling many rooms…
Atsushi: “I guess, I want to have a more peaceful year?”
The door to the Agency suddenly burst open, not long after it was repaired after the little Christmas party incident…
Chuuya: *clearly intoxicated* “Dazai– you b-b*stard! Let’s start off the new year right by puttin’– ha, puttin’ you in a hospital!”
Akutagawa: “Same for you, Jinko!”
Chuuya: “Wha–? Akutagawa, where did you come from? Lay off the kid…”
Akutagawa: “We spoke the entire way walking over here you drunkard–“
Before anyone could blink, Yosano had a cleaver pointed at the mafioso…
Yosano: “I don’t mind starting off the new year by putting you two b*stards in a hospital, but I’ll be generous and give you one chance to leave now~”
Chuuya: “Yeah, Akutagawa– why’re ya tryin’ to fight Atsushi? He hasn’t done anything to deserve that…”
Akutagawa: “…Coming here was your idea–“
Chuuya: “I said leave the kid alone! That b*stard Dazai can get his a$$ whooped another day, but Atsushi– that kid hasn’t done anything!”
Akutagawa: “Why is this getting turned around on me? No matter, time to start of 2025 the right way, Jinko!”
Atsushi: “Well, there goes that resolution…”
In a small room, in who knows where…
Nikolai: “So! Fedya, what’s your resolution for the new year?”
Fyodor: “…Do you even know what year it is?”
Fyodor: “…Clean my ushanka more.”
