That's right! [Dazai made a covert glance around the room to check if anyone's paying attention to their conversation. Upon finding that everyone else was absorbed in various other tasks, he raised a finger to his lips, briefly wondering if Diamond was familiar with this gesture, and gave a little wink.] Don't tell anyone I'm doing this, hmm? It's a one time thing.

[He took a handkerchief from his pocket and pair of scissors from the table. Dazai wiped off the scissor blades with his coat tail before making a shallow cut on his little finger, ignoring the sting with experience. A drop of blood welled up, and he held up his hand long enough for Diamond to inspect before wiping it off with the handkerchief.]

That's blood. "Bleeding out" means we've lost too much of it from our bodies, and it's only one out of many ways we can die. A small cut like this [he wiggled his little finger] usually isn't a problem, but larger wounds need to be treated.

[This wasn't a demonstration he'd normally do. On the other hand, there were more advantages in showing this to Diamond, moreso when they were now surrounded with bodies prone to irreversible injuries.]
