The peaceful times are over. Moloch von Zinzer was murdered, and Nine was sentenced as his murderer. Everyone in Cartesio knows that.
Although life goes on, it seems the town of Cartesio isn't going to forget the tourists' transgressions. Not only they commited larceny in the cinema, they also murdered and executed in their town! It's no surprise their hospitality towards the visitors has cooled down considerably.
Not only they're maintaining a tense cordiality with them, they also have started talking behind the visitors' backs. All kinds of rumors are starting to sprout, yet nobody seems to be willing to say it to the tourists' faces. Talking directly to most passerby makes them distrustful, and nobody seems to want to be in close quarters alone with them.
It's only matter of time before the relationship between tourists and Cartesio starts degrading even further.
In the lobby of the motel there's a few more brochures, and
the maps have been updated once again.

[He'd thought a lot about Oda in the time he'd been gone back home. That man, though... he'd tried not to think of too often.]
It may be very difficult. Odasaku is a stubborn man.
[Yet he hums and smiles when he says it.]
However-- I let him step out of my reach once. I've already decided. This time he can try to run-- but I'll chase him no matter where he goes.
[Goodness, this got dark for a conversation at the ice cream shop. He gently pats Millium on the head.]
Be careful that you don't pick up any bad habits from idiots like us.
cw suicide bc dazai
[Stubborn, she means.
She picks up on what Dazai's implying, but decides it's best not to respond one way or the other. This is the self-proclaimed suicide maniac. If he's going to follow Oda into the grave... well, that just means she'll have to do her best to keep Oda out of it if she wants to keep Dazai out, won't it? That's all there is to be done with that.
She manages a little smile at that headpat, and up at Dazai.]
I'll do my best, but no promises. I'm kinda an idiot myself, so I've heard.

He can think of a few good examples at least.
It's a shame though, that someone like her has to worry about his actions. But then-- that's just the kind of person she's become, isn't it?]
No one can ask for more than your best. I have a feeling you'll do just fine.
