Yeah. If- if it's already known about, because of this show or something, then I'll talk about it.
Alright.
[Luckily it does show up! Since Fitzgerald and all. God that man is so tacky though, and Atsushi is grimacing.]
We should find out if he wants to capture me in this world too, and take him for all he's worth.

If he can afford literal millions of dollars to capture me, then he can afford it here too.
Well of course he wouldn't capture me, we're tricking him.
We get Cinque-San to help.
We get Cinque-San to help.
Exactly. And once we have the money, she can turn into something small, like a bird, and escape.
Alright, alright. I should probably be wondering how he heard about the book in the first place.
[Since that sure got mentioned.]
[Since that sure got mentioned.]
Maybe? But at least in my version of the world, only two people know about it. And before that, only one person knew. I doubt Dazai-san would just go around telling people about it.
Ah.
[Welp. That's certainly possible.
And, since anyone who has seen this series would know about the book...]
...he told us not to breathe a word of it to anyone, not even each other. That the world was only safe as long as nobody knew it existed.

I think I understand that feeling, to a lesser extent.
[ Inaba finds herself curling in on herself a little bit, pulling her legs close to her chest, even as she watches the episode. Even so, she's only half paying attention now, Atsushi's voice drowning out the sounds of the television. ]
If you told someone that sort of thing. . . other people might be in trouble, right?

Mhmm. From what I was told, there's rules to what can and cannot be written, but if you know what you're doing then you can rewrite reality to whatever you like.
I...if not for Dazai-san's ability- [Which he won't explain, since Inaba would have seen it in the anime.] -then I would have thought that he used the book to make the world I live in. He was attached to 'Oda', and I could see him changing the world to one where 'Oda' lived.

| | I see. But that begs the question: if there's two parallel worlds in play here: the one that you're from, and this one that we're watching. . . was your world changed to this one? Or are they just simply separate? [ Are we speculating about canon in a thread? Yeah, probably. ] |
Maybe...both? I mean, Dazai-san isn't affected by abilities. If the book is an ability, then he wouldn't be affected by the changes, would he? He did know that there was 'only one world' where Oda-san lived and wrote his book.
If it's an ability, there has to be a 'who'. But you're right, I don't know who it could be. It must be someone in Yokohama, or else Dazai-san wouldn't have stayed there. I bet it's someone Dazai-san knows too.
Mmm...I wish at least one copy of Dazai-san would end up in this world. His input here would be useful.

Actually, if we're going with that line of thinking, I might be able to narrow the people down a bit more.
[ And that's when she opens her laptop back up, and although she has the BEAST novel synopsis up, she's more or less skimming it for names. ]
People can be unaware of their abilities, right? And what they entirely do? If we're going at this like a mystery novel, it might be someone we've already seen and not a new character entirely.

Like...Ranpo?
[He never met Ranpo in his world, but he saw the guy in the anime. And apparently he doesn't have an ability? But that seems odd, for him to be the only one without an ability in the whole agency.]
