As much as I dislike characters getting revived after tragic/dramatic deaths, I'm so so happy that Adam got revived in Stormbringer, and Chuuya got to see that he got revived.
Chuuya's lost so much during his life. The sheep, the only people he called family. The flags, the only friends that considered him a kid and an equal. His humanity, slipped away at the hands of N. His free will, almost taken by Verlaine.
And Adam, despite being one of the least normal people he's associated with, somehow is the one whose relationship with Chuuya felt most normal and humanizing. But he gets taken away from him, too, and isn't that unsurprising? Chuuya is numb to it at this point: the grief, the longing for people he can never see again.
That's why Chuuya just... laughs at Adam in the end. It wasn't about the android joke, never was. It's that finally, one person he cares about is back, is here, with him. One person he hasn't forever lost without saying goodbye.
It's immensely relieving, and you know what? I wouldn't have been surprised if Chuuya's laughs slowly turned into sobs, the moment all of this dawned on him...
I feel like he would like capybaras
"I should kill myself": self-serving, reactionary
"we should all kill ourselves": building community and connection, ideologically correct
Hello!! Hi!!!(◕‿◕✿)
I wanna point out something, Katai probably never had an entrance exam, whether Kunikida did or not is still up for debate, but the real fascinating thing is, at 20 Fukuzawa let Kunikdia handle the first (that we know of) entrance exam.
I have my own theories about how old Kuni was when he joined the ada but that's for another date.
Point is, Dazai's entrance exam could have been given to anybody elese, Yosano and Ranpo were at the ada for longer, and Fukuzawa himself didn't handle it. Kunikida must have risen through the ranks fast, especially at a young age. I'm really curios now on his backstory!
