"You want me for this? Are you sure?" Atsushi gazed at the set-up before him, frightened out of his mind at the idea of being the main component for ghost summoning. "Why do you even want to summon a ghost? Do they even exist?"
"Of course I'm sure, Atsushi! You're perfect for the job!" He waved his hand in Atsushi's direction, trying to usher him towards the chair in the center of the odd set-up of a red dust and candles. "Besides, if you knew who we were trying to help out here by doing this, you would be more confident in yourself, trust me. Oh, but I wouldn't exactly call them a ghost. They're not dead, they just got hit with an ability that makes them seem like a spirit of some kind."
As Atsushi slowly sat down in the middle, he asked, "can you at least tell me who it is you're talking about before we do this?"
"Don't worry, Atsushi. It all will be revealed soon! I just have one more person I'm waiting for..." As if it were on cue, the doorbell started being spammed repeatedly. "Oh, that sounds like it's him! You stay right here! I'll go fetch him!"
With that, Dazai left an uncomfortable Atsushi behind and went to the door. When he opened it up, he was greeted by a loud "fuck you!"
"Hey, slug, you made it!" Dazai grinned at him. "Just follow me this way. I believe I already told you my plans?"
"Yeah, but it seems pretty stupid to me," Chuuya muttered, "I don't even know if (Y/N) is completely fine with it."
Dazai looked in his ex-partner's hands to find a candle. Slowly but surely, realization dawned on him. "I see... you're using the candle to communicate to them. In that case, hey, (Y/N), wherever you are! I hope you're having a fun time."
"They just replied with a loud sigh," Chuuya answered, walking farther into the house to see the odd set-up and the shaking boy, who now seemed even more scared due to the fact that a dangerous mafioso had just walked in. "Holy shit... is he okay?"
"He's just a little scared, that's all," Dazai answered, but Atsushi quickly yelled after him.
"What the hell is a mafia executive doing here?" When no one answered him, he started trying to place things together himself. As he slowly connected the dots, his eyes widened. Once he realized what this was all for, he stopped shaking and asked, "this is all to bring (Y/N) back, isn't it?"
Dazai nodded his head.
"But... Why me?"
"Why not you, Atsushi?" Dazai cocked his head at him. "Don't worry, it's not that bad. Long story short, the ability (Y/N) got hit by wasn't one that killed them. In actuality, it just made them invisible to everyone, acting almost like a ghost of some sorts. Chuuya just happens to be the only person who can communicate with them through a lit candle it seems. The only way to get them back is through finding some way to give them a physical form so then I can touch them and erase the ability."
