Living with the mindset that the way Dazai treated him years ago was normal - lead to Akutagawa's unstable mentality.

Right now, Akutagawa had you - his subordinate - tied to a chair in an old abandoned warehouse that you two frequently trained in. Why? Because he loved you.

Dead, bloodied, and dismembered bodies lay scattered everywhere - all of which were people you were close with. Akutagawa kneeled in front of you, knife in hand and a twisted smile. "The red means 'I love you'."
