[ okay so actually dazai absolutely gets on his nerves based on all the conversations they've had, but he still seemed pretty fishy last trial, and Hikage is a man on a mission. He'll endure a bit of irritation for some information. ]

Hey, you. I'm not done talking to you yet.

[ so he stops him in the halls... ]

[Dazai should not have stepped out of his room to get something to eat, even if nine hours with just snacks took a toll on him.]

If you want an apology, you aren't getting one.

[ he rolls his eyes at that. ]

Do I seem that petty? [ actually yeah probably but let's leave that aside ] I wanted to ask you about Sharpay.

[Dazai's that petty, why wouldn't Hikage be??]

Fine, then hurry up and ask.

[...he might not have many answers.]

Why were you so insistent on defending her? You must have had a reason other than "I like her."

[ because that's dumb... right. RIGHT. ]

I like her and I thought she was innocent. Why else would I defend her?

[He's genuinely confused by the question. Isn't liking her enough?]

People are dying.

[ JUST SAYING ]

Yes. I noticed that.

[What's your point here.]

By not voting for her, you were condemning someone who'd done nothing to die, and their partner, too.

...Are you stupid?

[Dazai should not be the one asking that here, but anyway-]

Everyone knew who the culprit was. There was no chance she wasn't going to get a majority vote even if I threw my vote away. It didn't matter.

That's not the point. Besides, you were defending her from the moment we found out her heel matched. It's suspicious.

[ he rests a hand on his hip. ]

We know she couldn't have put Gi-gan in the armor herself, and that her powers weren't used for that. In other words, someone was helping her.

...Wait, you think I was involved?

[?????]

I think you're suspicious.

You can be suspicious all you want, but I had nothing to do with it. I know as much about the murder as you do, or less.

So you're just a moron, then. All right, I got it.

I have priorities!

[They're just stupid priorities.]

Yeah, I remember. They're still terrible.

You can only say that because you don't care about anyone.

[Dazai doesn't know this to be true. He just needs to insult someone for insulting him.]

That's not true. I care about people.

[ just not about wrinkles in his clothes!! ]

If you actually cared then you'd understand why I can't just vote for someone I like.

... Just liking someone doesn't mean ignoring anything they do wrong. If you cared, you'd understand that.

I'm not ignoring anything!

[He just doesn't care that she murdered someone, does that make things better? It doesn't, does it.]

Then you're fine with the fact that she killed an old woman in cold blood?

Under the circumstances, it's understandable.

[So. Yes.]
