once you became Dazai's subordinate, he would send you on missions that he sent Atsushi and Akutagawa on even though he knew they didn't get along

now they were on their way to infiltrate another organization to gather information

Akutagawa: walks in silence , in front of the two so as not to look at them, with his hands in his pockets and his usual serious expression

Atsushi: walks next to you and behind Akutagawa, keeping his distance. From time to time he makes sure that you stay by his side for safety
