[Does he think Berserker would do a thing to Oda? No, not at all. If anything, Dazai has gotten the impression that the man in front of him right now is quite lonely, and may even have some similarities to his closest friend. If the two of them cross paths, it should be fine.]

Anyway, I think I need to have a rest, now. If I stay out here for too long, the sun is sure to burn me up. [Pressing a hand to his forehead:] It's not my time to go!
