atsushi, kunikida, and dazai are... friends, and coworkers. there. not every relationship needs to be seen 'family' to be seen as valid and important.

newbie ada dazai trying to adjust the new environment. there are no men to serve him. there are not men for him to command. he is no longer executive. he is just... dazai. it feels freeing, but this is all so confusing.

newbie ada dazai - fukuzawa looks at him and says 'i can see him in you'. dazai simply shrugs it off.

newbie ada dazai who he is afraid of yosano and he avoids her like a plague.

newbie ada dazai trying to befriend ranpo, who always stares at him with 'i know what have you done' . dazai is secretly envious that he found someone who is smarter than him

newbie ada dazai who pretends he doesn't see that tanizaki always throws scared looks at him. he jokes with him and tanizaki suddenly flinches away

newbie ada dazai whose only friend is kunikida and he is grateful that he has such good partner. he is grateful that kunikida is only one with whom he can unwind. so, he never tells him truth - he doesn't want kunikida to treat him as someone he should avoid.
