what if mori let dazai go at the end of dark era bc he wanted him to find something to protect?
Dazai didn’t care about yokohama, but with the years apart from the mafia and surrounded by the ADA he has started to care and he likes to help people now. I think it’s said in one of the antologies, but also there’s this quote in DA that i love bc it shows this. I don’t know how it is in english, but in the spanish translation it says that dazai had a face full of determination and duty (is the moment just before shibusawa stabbed him.
So mori knowing he can’t make dazai care through manipulation bc he is /too/ smart, he used his betrayal for this. Dazai will find reasons to protect yokohama and now he can really be the asset always wanted him to be.
