After her friend and sister comforted Rue that she would be okay, she decided to call Dazai over. Perhaps he would answer the phone? Anyway, in her mind it would be better to inform him of her pregnancy in person. 

"Hello?" 

"Ah! Would you be okay with coming to my home...?" 

He jumped to the conclusion that Rue was attracted to him and that this was a date of some sort. "Alright." 

She gave him her address, while Suzu and Eliza watched. Eventually the two hung up, and Eliza started speaking. 

"So now we wait for his arrival... would you two like to play with the rats with me to pass the time?" She said, picking up her rat named Benny. He was the smartest of the bunch. 

Rue smiled and nodded. "Alright." She was only slightly grossed out by Eliza's pets... but knew this family of 27 rats had been her friends since she was a young girl. She bent over, picking up the rat named Jerry. He was the stupidest of all the rats, to be honest. 

 She was the rat queen, with an ability to speak to rats. Only rats. 

"I wonder if other people would find this scene strange." Rue said, petting one of the many rats. 

Suzu wasn't very fond of the rats, and didn't care to play with them. "Probably." 

There was one of the rats that Eliza didn't quite like, and his name was Gertrude. I do realize that's a female name, but he was only named that because at first Rue thought he was a girl. He was a troublesome one... always trying to get the other rats pregnant. So, Eliza usually had him in a little rat jail she made, but somehow the little guy escaped and came with her to Rue and Suzu's place. 

"GERTRUDE!! You're supposed to be in jail!!!" Eliza screeched angrily, grabbing him in her hands. "Bad. Bad rat." 

Meanwhile, Rue was lost in her anxious thoughts as she held one of the rats. She felt a crushing weight on her soul... like everything was about to be over. 

Just then-- the doorbell rang.

It made Rue jump up in surprise, and she let out a little scream. The rat she was petting fell out of her hands, and she quickly stood up. "I'll be right there!!" Everything was spinning as she made her way to the door to let Dazai in. 

He began to knock on the door rapidly. What an annoying guy. 

Finally, Rue opened the door for him after trying to fix her hair. "Hello." She said, forcing a smile. 

Dazai smirked at her, his usual expression. "Hey." He peeked over my shoulder. Upon seeing Eliza and Suzu, his smile faded. "Who are they?" He asked, one eyebrow raised. 

Rue looked back at the two girls for a moment. "That's my friend and sister... I needed to tell you something and I thought it would be better to do in person." 

Dazai seemed a little puzzled. He was still convinced this was some kind of date, and now thought it was a confession. After thinking about it for maybe two seconds, he assumed the two girls were going to help her confess her feelings of undying love for him. He stepped inside, making himself comfortable on the couch with Eliza and Suzu. 

Rue followed close behind him, taking a seat as well. "S-so... about what had happened the night we met." She paused, feeling ashamed. 

Everyone in the room waited, staring at her expectantly. Dazai had a smug smile on his face, while the other two girls glared at him skeptically. 

"I'm afraid I'm pregnant." Rue blurted out, her face turning red. 

Dazai's smile faded, his face one of pure shock. It was then that he realized this wasn't a confession of love. "How...?" Was the only thing that came out of his mouth.

Rue stood up, and began to fling her hands around in a panic. "I don't know?!?!" 

"You know exactly how!!" Eliza raised her voice at the man, looking very upset. 

Somehow, Rue already had a soft spot for Dazai. "Don't get so angry at him! It was my fault too... the person you should be angry with is alcohol." 

Dazai couldn't comprehend the fact that he was going to be a father now, and went to try to do the only thing he could think of. "Excuse me, but where is your bathroom?" 

Suzu pointed down the hallway. "Down the hall, sir." She replied, a blank expression on her face. 

He rose, and walked off in the direction Rue's sister pointed. 

After a while, Eliza broke the silence to complain about Dazai. "He's taking a long time... but to be honest, I'm glad. That guy is annoying." 

"I've been worrying about him." Rue admitted. "Perhaps I'll go check on him." She quickly got up and made her way to the bathroom. 

Dazai hadn't even cared to close the door! There he was, pill bottle in hand. He turned his head to see Rue, and said the most absurd thing ever. "Join me?" He opened the bottle, pouring a few in his hand. 

Rue couldn't do this twice, and began sobbing. "NO!!!" She struggled to get her phone out of one of the pockets in her dress, her hands trembling. The poor woman dialed a suicide hotline. "H-hello? There's--" 

Before she could even properly start her sentence, Eliza came running into the hall with Suzu following behind her.

Eliza had knocked the phone out of Rue's hand, hanging up on the hotline by accident. "Ah!" Her  mind was racing, and she felt as if Dazai's sudden desire to end his life was her fault. She felt like she had killed the man, when all she wanted to do was save him. 

"What is this maniac doing now?!" Eliza exclaimed, a ridiculous look of disappointment on her face. 

Suzu simply had an expression of horror, confused as to why he would be so desperate to die that he attempted suicide in her home. 

Eliza whacked Dazai's hands, the pill bottle and pills falling to the floor. 

There was a horrible memory that went through Rue's head at this moment...
