Dazai Osamu. your Ex-mentor from the port mafia, he never treated you kindly, not praised you. Never in your life.. he beatted you up till you couldn't stand, degrade you, insult you, and you started looking up at him. Which he knew. That is till he left the Mafia, you felt upset and angry bc of Atsushi.. he gained dazai's praise so easily yet still wallow in his own pity. He's no better! You're better than him! What does he see special in that jinko?! Yet.. if you wanted praise.. you knew you had to put up with that weretiger, and dazai seemed pleased even if he doesn't show it.

Today afternoon, you and Atsushi concluded a mission dazai give you, and after that you were going to leave, but dazai stopped you

"Wait a sec, Akutagawa," He called out, putting his hand on your shoulder with a soft smile, he never give that to you.. and you didn't know if it was manipulation or he wants smth.. but it seemed genuine

"You did great." words echoed in your head, thinking this is all but your imagination.. he praised you? out of all people..? You? A disappointment and Port mafia dog?
