[Dazai notes all the cracks and gouges. They don't surprise him. She's a broken individual, and he hardly expects this to be solved from one conversation alone. It certainly wasn't with him.]

I'll tell you it's not however many times you need to hear it.

I can't say I'm any much better of an individual. I don't have any love for my world, either. I wish it could fall to pieces and that I could recreate it. My entire plan at home concluded with me doing exactly that. [If he'd only gotten The Book, then...] And that's not true. When I was in danger in the Kami Laboratory, you made an attempt to rescue me. You gathered information. You are capable of so much more than you give yourself credit for, and I know it's hard, because I'm a monster, too.

My entire conscience hinges on someone who accepted all my flaws telling me to do good and me accepting it, because he was the one person I could believe. And he would believe the worst person could do some good. As do I.

No one will 'defeat' you because you care. You have remorse. And that enough is to bring some light to your darkness. Even if you take it a day at a time.
