I Really Hope That This Changes The Way Atsushi See The Relationship Between Akutagawa And Dazai In The

I really hope that this changes the way Atsushi see the relationship between Akutagawa and Dazai in the future. Because in the past he had no context as to why Akutagawa was so fixated on getting Dazai’s approval and why he hated Atsushi so much. Because from his perspective before Akutagawa was some guy that Dazai knew in the mafia who was weirdly fixated on him.

But now he can actually see the similarities in how in their past and in how they were treated. I mean who else would understand Akutagawa hating his abuser, but also desperately needing their approval to keep on going more than Atsushi.

That isn’t to say that I want Atsushi to do a complete 180 and start to hate Dazai now, but I would like him to start to be more mindful of how Akutagawa feels. Tho to be fair I think if Atsushi finds out that Dazai was somewhat responsible for Akutagawa sacrificing himself on the boat, I would like him to have a strong reaction to that. Since as much as I like Dazai as a character, he’s been getting away with treating Akutagawa poorly for too long.
