[Oh my god is that what his name actually means?]

Then I'll keep calling you Reito. ...and I'd say you can call me Chuuya too, but you already do that.

[kazokun]

[ YEAH........ it's... yeah, haha. ]

Oh... Yeah, Dazai always called you that, so I picked it up from him.

[ Nakahara is too long for me to type so Chuuya is just Chuuya ]

[shortforever]

Yeah. He used to do it to get on my nerves, since that's what he liked to do the most. But it's not so bad when you say it.

[Mostly because he knows Ayabe isn't being mean when he says it.]

[kazokun]

That was him being mean? That's why I kept wondering if you two were friends.

[ But then there's Dazai still being Dazai... because he's an asshole... so he was just stuck with that forever. Sort of like Ayabe always using his last name so nobody ever calls him by his first. ]

[shortforever]

You thought we were friends because he called me 'Chuuya'? And all the times I yelled at him didn't make you think otherwise?

[kazokun]

I call Ling by his first name and he yells at me all the time.

[ Are they....... also not friends................ ]

[shortforever]

The difference there is that Ling is at least kind of normal.

[kazokun]

Is Ling normal?

[ Have you seen the kid? He is the opposite of normal. ]

[shortforever]

Of course, he...

[...]

...okay, yeah, fair. He's not normal either. But he's not as malicious as Dazai is.

[kazokun]

...I never saw that side of him.

[ He saw an annoying one... also one that liked to tease and string him along, but never malicious. ]

We probably weren't close enough for that. Not like you two.

[ It's easier to be mean to people you're close to? somehow ]

[shortforever]

I think it was the reverse, honestly. He liked you, so he showed a better side to you.

[He remembers that talk he and Dazai had, the night before Dazai died.]
