"Your human charge has died." Ango's voice betrays no emotion. Like most Shinigami, he isn't curious about the human realm. The only time he ever shows the slightest hint of concern is when he needs to reap another human soul. Unlike most of their brethren, however, Ango also tires of the gambling and restlessness of doing nothing.
He still thinks ill of Dazai's ill timed plan of trying to avert Oda Sakunosuke's death by giving him agency of his fate by granting him the Death Note. The only Death Note that Dazai has on his person.
Ango thinks both Dazai and the human are stupid.
Dazai shouldn't have gotten too involved.
The human should have killed his tormentor when he had the chance. Perhaps, Dazai wouldn't be sulking so often now.
"Your point, Ango? Why are you even here?" The suicidal Shinigami looks up from the ground. Dazai had been idly drawing circles in the sand, but the effect is nothing more than a slight disturbance—there is no real substance there.
Ango crouches next to his friend, a look of what could have passed as sympathy resting in his eyes.
"I'm not one to encourage dabbling in the human world, but it's frankly disconcerting to see you so despondent," Ango starts. Having heard Ango wax on and on about trivial things, Dazai makes to leave, but his friend clasps his shoulder. "But, I've been watching the human realm and I think I might have seen a human who might serve as a—"
"Replacement?" Dazai sneers. "You can't replace humans."
Ango frowns at the rude interjection, but pushes forward.
"Well, this human has ideals that I think you can stand to learn from. He also has a grudge against the Port Mafia, against this Mori Ougai person." Ango's eyes twinkle in dark delight as he looks at Dazai, a look of wonder in his usually dead eyes.
"That means…"
"That means you can circumvent the Shinigami King's orders if you drop your Death Note precisely where this human will be."
"Hmm...I guess I've been too hard on you, Ango." Dazai playfully shoves the bespectacled Shinigami away before he looks over to the portal.
"His name is Kunikida Doppo, by the way. I think you'll like him."
