... they don't really know they exist, no
Dazai: Chuuuya do you want to play 20 questions~
Chuuya: sure, I’ll go first. What’s your favorite color?
Dazai: blue. Do you like men?
Ok but—
This fits so fucking well (•ˇ_ˇ•)
A restaurant named You're Not Supposed To Be Here, where the whole point is that the vibes are unnerving. The lighting is weird, the whole place has a faint scent that's not a bad smell, but it's certainly not food smell and you can't quite identify what the hell it is. The music is weirdly janky and you can't quite tell what's wrong with it, the vocals aren't exactly garbled but sung in a language you swear you've never heard anywhere and couldn't name if you tried. Only hiring staff who have anxiety and they're 100% permitted to show how much your presence here stresses them out.
I like to think I'm hilarious
Dazai's defense in court

Atsushi: Ryu... I think I like you Akutagawa: *flustered* I think I like you too

I'd like to point out that Mori did this shit (pretending that he's caught to gather information, and then "Oh, no, my hot, badass situationship should come and rescue me now, I guess. Even though I can do it myself in 0.01 seconds.") once and now Dazai refuses to let it go and implement any other tactic.
