After Dazai is back in the ADA, he moves in with Atsushi and Kyouka for some time to heal his injuries.
They become really close with each other during that time. Watching movies together, going to amusement parks where Kyouka dries their wallets eating ice-cream and crepes, having hot pot, Oden and Chasuke almost every day to soothe their souls.
Dazai gets better immediately but he still pretends to be sick because he likes this little family they have made and he had never truly been a part of something like this before. A relationship where he doesn't have to worry about making plans and schemes. He can just relax with the kids and forget he has any problems or issues for some time.
Atsushi and Kyouka find Dazai eccentric with his bad dad jokes and some surprisingly good advice; he has a big personality but that balances their introversion and makes them more open. His presence is comforting to them.
In the end none of them ever speak about Dazai moving out and they just go on with their dangerous lives, knowing they can go back in the night to a place called home.
Dazai: do you guys ever think about dying?
Kyouka: sometimes
Atsushi: can we not talk about that at 2 AM when we are trying to sleep?
Dazai: I was just wondering how it will be like after death
Kyouka: I think death is better than torture
Dazai: do you remember the Port Mafia torture method where they half kill you to make you face death and then make you beg for your lives?
Kyouka: the one with the barrels? I think hanging upside down is much worse...
Atsushi: can we stop fucking talking about THIS and go to SLEEP????
Dazai, gasping: how can you swear in front of Kyouka-chan! That gives her bad manners!
Atsushi: YEAH, you two can talk about fucking dying and torture, but I can't swear? You've gotta be shitting me.
Dazai: ......
Kyouka: yeah, Atsushi swears a lot when he is mad. He learnt that in the orphanage
