[ To gamble with a gambling man... There's something Gogol wants to know well enough that he's willing to do it. When Sigma cuts off his own sentence it's a clue that he's actually gone through with the exchange and for that Gogol maintains his quietly satisfied smile throughout their eye contact. The information that Sigma is rewarded with for taking the risk is the following:
>Those who were branded among the Chosen were first plagued by nightmares and visions after venturing out into Pessiria Forest.
>A voice appeared in their heads. That voice ruthlessly insisted that they pledge themselves. The moment they gave in they became thralls through a mental link with that unidentified figure. Soon after each and every one of them become branded with marks that look similar to the ones found on the damned souls here.
>While the branded had been granted an array of supernatural abilities it had been fleeting. Before the hard won failure of that mysterious figure's plot all thralls were commanded to protect some eldritch creature being rebirthed in the forest.
>Selfless acts tore the thralls away from the hooded figure's influence. As for the mental links- well, those were transformed rather than taken away. For his own Dazai has gained quite the unfair advantage in knowing his emotional state.
His own want is simple. "What happened in Meursault after I left?" ]
