[Being the perceptive person that he is, Dazai can see plain as day how nervous Atsushi is to be alone with him in this kind of situation. He’s not trying to intimidate him, of course, but there must be a certain amount of apprehension in letting yourself relax and have fun with your mentor. But oddly enough, Dazai doesn’t mind the idea of being more than that, but only if Atsushi wanted such a thing.

He sure is fun to tease, though.]

Really? They’re my favorite! Go on, try them!
