Ok so at the end of the chapter Atsushi looks at the Dazai hallucination and asks "I know who you are now " Which really confuzled me until I got a theory.

Atsushi isn't hallucinating the book is showing him images of the people who guided him (the orphanage director, akutagawa, Dazai etc) to help him out

We know that his ability can guide someone to the book and it's connected because of the guild arc where it's admitted his ability can find the book.

So if they are connected and it's truly not a hallucination like we have all been thinking (because that boy is traumatized)

It's not a hallucination because if it was he wouldn't have recognized that it wasn't like Dazai because hallucinations act like how we think someone acts which means he wouldn't be able to tell something isn't right about it...

So what if it's the book guiding him and helping him out??
