Something i think about a lot is how Dazai saw Chuuya. And treated him. Like dazai is extremely touch starved as a teen i think? The way he almost immediately latches onto chuuya despite barely even knowing him at that time. He didn't even know chuuya was a vessel of some god of destruction at that time. Chuuya was seriously just some extremely over-confident kid to him at that time. And he's also weirdly possessive of him (considering how the bet happened just a while after they've met and dazai was already sowing seeds of distrust within the sheep). he's also amazed by so much of chuuya (new drinking game: take a shot everytime there's something along the lines of "dazai watches in mute amazement" in 15 and sb) i get chuuya as a character generally makes people want to care for him (the flags, no seriously they love him so much) but dazai was so obsessed in such a short span of time. Like does he even know how to befriend people his age normally? Does he even know anyone his age?
