I Just Love People Watching. Not In A Creepy Way, Of Course, But Rather In A Way That I Love Seeing Humans

Dazai slowly realizing he’s happy

Dazai slowly realizing he doesn’t mind waking up since he gets to see Chuuya’s face.

Dazai slowly realizing he looks forward to going to work since he gets to be around his friends.

Dazai slowly realizing he smiles whenever he opens the bento’s Chuuya makes him.

Dazai slowly realizing he doesn’t dread the night since he gets to spend it with Chuuya.

Dazai slowly realizing he’s not scared to go to sleep, because Chuuya’s right beside him.

call it fine dining jhahahahhaajhajjajahjaja

This chapter really illustrates just how young they were when they met. Akutagawa is 14 and Dazai 16 here.

This wasn’t Akutagawa being groomed into crime by an adult man with several years of experience under his belt and a fully developed brain. This was a 16 year old who had the intellect to prop himself up as much larger and older than he actually was and who had been functioning in that way for awhile. This was a kid leading another kid into the everyday violence that surrounded them, violence that Dazai had come to live and breathe at this point. Violence that Dazai had already learned how to wield very well.

there’s something so hopeful about akutagawa no longer being weighed down by dazai’s words and free from his inherent manipulation due to his amnesia….and with this he is able to truly show us the maximum power of his own ability, unrestrained and untainted from dazai’s expectations of him.

previously, aku was only focused on getting stronger because it was dazai who was pushing him, dazai who was experimenting with him to truly bring out the potential he saw.

but now, aku has someone else to protect. he is a “martyr” for justice, as he said when he wielded the sword. bram’s resolve has manifested into a mindset that will truly take advantage of akutagawa’s inherent nature to defend and protect. like he did with his friends in the slums. like he does with his sister.

now we will all truly get to see just how powerful he can be. what his resolve is made of.
