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. ]

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.]
