Summary
A bad day at work, and Atsushi Nakajima is left with a dilemma: claw marks across his arm that won't heal, a haywire tiger, and a fallacy in No Longer Human that leaves Dazai unable to reverse his condition.
As Dazai always causes, there's trouble on the horizon when Atsushi's told he'll be staying with Ryuunosuke Akutagawa until his symptoms wear off. How this leads to cooking for the mafia, finding kinship in a mafia Executive that hates his guts, and facing his past in one fell swoop, he doesn't know.

Summary
Atsushi leaned back, watching the steam rise from his overly-sweet drink. "You know, the Agency is obsessed with the food part of Christmas. Tanizaki-san was talking about ordering the 'Party Buckets' of fried chicken. Apparently, it’s a whole thing?"
Akutagawa paused, holding his tea cup halfway toward his lips. Then, in a sign of confusion, he lowered it slowly. "Fried chicken."
"Yeah! It’s the tradition, right?" Atsushi smiled, but it faltered when he saw the genuine blankness in Akutagawa’s eyes.
"I am aware of the bird," Akutagawa said stiffly. "I am unaware of why it is synonymous with a religious holiday. Or why one would consume it out of a... 'bucket.'"

Summary
Akutagawa pauses and rubs his eyes as a distressed sigh leaves his mouth. It’s futile to even think about a proper’s night rest, though he won’t deny it would be a delight. He leans back on the chair and looks over all the papers on his desk. There is no clue that could point out the right direction in which the search for the Jinko should go. Akutagawa sighs again and looks at his watch. 02:54 AM.
It’s been 16 days since Nakajima Atsushi went missing. He is definitely not worried.

Summary
"Akutagawa was never good at understanding his own emotions. Anger, hatred, he recognized those. However, he often noticed that they did not come on their own, mingling with other feelings that he could not understand or name."

Summary
“I thought you’d be a black tea person,” Atsushi says.
“Hm.”
“But you chose jasmine.”
“I choose what suits the hour.” Akutagawa doesn’t look away from the dark sidewalk. “And the company.”
The umbrella jerks with how hard Atsushi nearly trips over a puddle. He swallows, keeps his hands steady on the handle. The word company sticks with him, warm and fluttering where it shouldn’t.
