"Unlike you, I have no desire to die today," Jouno replies, though he's drunk enough now to actually laugh at Dazai's offer to drive.
Once they're in the car, the driver wordlessly shuts a door -- almost all of Jouno's 'help' has learned to be silent when around him -- and heads to the front of the car to wait for instruction.
"I'd be home if they weren't." It's not like Jouno enjoyed parties, but he enjoyed being around his family even less. "A motel, maybe? Somewhere seedy that won't care if you scream." As if to punctuate what he means, Jouno pulls out a pocket knife and flicks it open, running a finger along the blade. Sharp and satisfying; it'll do to cut into Dazai's skin later.
The driver seems to take the hint and starts the car, while Jouno keeps his attention on the blade in hand.
"How badly can I hurt you tonight?" There's a breathless to his voice when he asks -- excitement.
