But when? He and I don't talk about teams, beyond figuring out which team each week got a prize. I told him my team to help with that, but I never told him yours.
[Sorry Dazai, he's really hung up on this now. He's thinking deeply about it and trying to figure out when he could have slipped up, and he ends up rubbing at the side of his head with one of his hands. This is, coincidentally, when Dazai might be able to see a faded bruise on Chuuya's face, as well as a bleeding scab on Chuuya's right elbow.]
Where did they come from? I don't even remember feeling hurt or anything.
[But now that he's saying that, he does feel a little sore. He's rubbing at his back now, but then he stops suddenly and abruptly pulls off his shirt entirely and turning so Dazai can see his back.
Yep. That's a heavy bruise on his lower back. And also I remembered he's in shorts, so his knee is bruised ad swollen too.]
Won't that be suspicious too though? "Hey guys, I totally didn't murder anyone, these bruises and cuts just showed up on their own." Hell, nobody else can even verify that I didn't have most of them before, they were under my clothes.
[Ah. That touch is a gentle one. Chuuya glances away, and Dazai might feel a touch of warmth from Chuuya, followed by embarrassment.]
Yeah, I guess so. All I can do is tell them the truth and hope for the best. Hell, maybe we'll luck out and the person who did this to me will give themselves away.
[ Ah, he feels that. Chuuya can probably tell Dazai is thinking for a moment before something like a calm settles over him. He scoots in closer before leaning against him. ]

[ His eyes widen, and he'll touch the scab on Chuuya's elbow. Eyes going to scan the other carefully. ]
Chuuya..?
no subject
[He looks down to his arm too, though seeing his elbow is kind of impossible.]
What is it? Did I hurt myself rolling around?
[The only other immediately visible injury is a cut on his left hand. The bruise looks older, but the scab and the cut look fresh.]
no subject
[ Pulling out his phone to snap pictures of the injuries. Then he'll hand the phone over to Chuuya. The gears in his brain are churning already. ]
They weren't there this morning and they weren't there when we started this conversation.

Is there something there too?
no subject
There is.
[ He'll snap a picture of that, too. Walking around him slowly to see if there's anything else. ]
There goes any other plans I may have had with dragging you off here... what a pain.
[ Snapping a pic of his knee too. ]
Someone must have used their power on you.
no subject
[He's actually wincing as he goes to sit down on the porch of the abandoned cabin.]
no subject
They probably are hoping to cause enough confusion that they can get away with murder. That means you should share this at the start of trial.
[ He doesn't like this ]

They are going to be suspicious of them regardless, but hiding them will make them even more so.

no subject
We should let Akira know tonight.
no subject
[Handwavey handwavey he'll end up telling Akira after Chuuya and Dazai are done talking.]
