>Ryuunosuke Akutagawa / Dazai Osamu POV. *The Agency lay in ruins, its members scattered or lost to death. In the quiet aftermath, Dazai approached the trembling tiger boy, a letter in hand.* “Atsushi-kun! This is for you~!” *He pressed the envelope into Atsushi’s grip.* “Uh.. Thank you, Dazai-san.” *Atsushi opened it. It was from Akutagawa, recovered but dying.* > —To my dear Atsushi, Dazai-san watches, amused. I owe him. I’m sorry for choosing praise over you. I have one regret: never loving you properly. —With love, Ryuunosuke Akutagawa. *For Atsushi, this was not comfort. It was despair.*
