Keep thinking about the similarities and differences between Dazai's living conditions and Chuuya's living conditions, but how at the end of the day, they both just...don't know how to live. Even Verlaine looks around and asks how/why Dazai lives in the middle of nowhere and in a container, clearly pointing out that it's unusual but Dazai just shrugs it off. Chuuya has his desk in the middle of the room facing his bed when desks are usually in corners or against walls or facing a window but his is pointed at his bed. Meanwhile Dazai's is facing the wall. You walk into either of these rooms and wonder who lives there because you glean no personality or interests from them and wouldn't expect them to be where two teenagers make their homes. And there's something uniquely sad about that fact.
Chuuya: You know, Osamu, If anything were ever to happen to me, I would want you to get remarried.
Dazai: Okay.
Chuuya: Mm. That was a little fast.
Dazai: Oh, no. I ju--I just want to make you happy.
Chuuya: Okay. [pause] Any idea of who you would marry if --
Dazai: Yosano, probably. She works in my office. She's very organized. The kids love her.
Kyouka: Are you guys talking about Yosano?
Dazai: Yeah.
Kyouka: Chuuya-san, she's awesome.
Chuuya: [inhales deeply]
Dazai: Just so you know, if something were to happen to me, I --
Chuuya: *darkly* Oh, something's gonna happen to you, all right.

Something about Dazai leaving the Port Mafia remembering Odasuku’s shattered dream to be a writer.
And then becoming partners with Kunikida whose ability revolves around writing things down in a notebook.
Odasuku who thought he lost the right to write if he took lives.
Kunikida who only lets himself use his ability, characterised by his notebook, to protect the innocent.
