    Summary

    It can’t end like this. Atsushi has mere minutes left, maybe less, and he can’t die listening to Akutagwa’s scolding and insults. Comfort has never come easily to Akutagwa, but he has to try. Atsushi deserves that much, at least.

    But Akutagawa can’t think of what to say. He can’t tell Atsushi that it’s fine, that he’ll be okay, or any of those trite, hollow reassurances. It’s not okay, and perhaps it never will be again — not without Atsushi.

    In his last moments, bloody and painful though they are, Atsushi deserves better than lies. So Akutagawa instead settles on the deepest truth he knows. Perhaps, here and now, the only truth.

    “You can’t die, you useless overgrown cat,” Akutagawa snarls, half-choking on a sob. “I love you, so you can’t die. Not when I love you.”

    Thinking Atsushi is dying in his arms, Akutagawa confesses his love, knowing he’ll never have another chance.

    But of course Atsushi, always the thorn in Akutagawa’s side, does something wholly unexpected.

    He survives.

    Summary

    Chuuya knew something was wrong with Dazai. Many things were wrong with him, actually, but this was different than his usual weirdness. From time to time, Dazai would sink into a depressive state; something much more solemn than his usual flippant pessimism. He’d spend days alone in his house, forgetting to eat and subsisting on nothing but cheap booze and cigarettes.

    These phases frustrated Chuuya to no end. He wasn’t going to pretend like he could understand what Dazai was going through, but the depth of his helplessness in the situation irritated him. He wanted to be able to do something; to fix it. But if he’d learned one thing over the years, it was that this was one of those things that had to be waited out. There was no “fixing” it, or taking shortcuts. It was just going to be a difficult couple of weeks for Dazai. The best Chuuya could do was be there for him through it.

    Summary

    "Scientists call it the ‘Psychic staring effect’. A term coined by a psychologist in the 1800’s and that has been tested for decades upon decades later. It is the feeling of being watched even when the person is out of sight."
    There was someone, Yosano was sure of it. There was someone watching her, only she didn't know who. Fukuzawa and Ranpo didn't see it either, a manifestation of her trauma coming to haunt her waking hours. Or was it something much more malicious?

    Akutagawa begins a series of experiments to determine just how cat-like Atsushi is. Can he really be blamed if he happens to fall in love along the way?
