Current arc sskk as the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice: Akutagawa died and Atsushi is doing anything to bring him back to life, and when he finally succeeds, when he finally manages to snap Akutagawa out of the vampire state, Akutagawa dies again because he was already dead when he was bitten. Atsushi's incommensurable love for him being Akutagawa's greatest sentence of death, because if he hadn't snapped Akutagawa out of it, if he had loved him less, Akutagawa would still be there.
