Imagine you sacrifice yourself for a boy that you’ve been trying to convince yourself you hate but you actually love and your body gets taken over by an ancient and monstrous ability and you are forced to hurt the people that you love and fight and you almost kill that same boy and then the source of that ability gets cured and you slowly return to being human again but your memory is all messed up because your consciousness was just pushed aside for said source and you are faced with the enemy that killed you in the first place and the boy is there but you don’t know who he is until the final moment when he sacrifices himself for you the same way you did for him and now your memory has returned but it’s too late because the boy you love is still gone

I lied put your pants back on. Let's talk about why we as a society moved on from this art too quickly

[softlystarstrck]

One thing I've been struggling to articulate is how meaningfull the “now we're even” line is to sskk. Because I believe it's really so poignant even beyond it's meaning of “returning the favor”. With sskk, it's always been a fight to surpass, to get the upper hand, to prevail. Always trying to come first before the other, always trying to win over the other. Akutagawa literally tells Atsushi “defeating you, that alone is my meaning”, and Atsushi too says “I have to become stronger [...] that is what I must do to deny Akutagawa's strength”. It's fight for supremacy: for Akutagawa first of all, since he feels like the only way he has to gain his validation to live is by the way of proving himself to Dazai through defeating Atsushi; but it's a matter of triumphing over the other for Atsushi, too, for whom doing good equates to it being okay for him to keep living, and for whom doing good often came in the form of defying evil, evil that Akutagawa so perfectly embodied. It's always been a fight to prevail, it's always been a “either you, or me”. Coexistence for them was simply unthinkable.

But now Atsushi knows better. He's grown to recognize Akutagawa's value, and to appreciate his sacrifice. Most importantly, he concluded that they don't need to fight for supremacy anymore; now that he aknowealdges Akutagawa's humanity and respects him, he can finally think of the two of them as equals, peers. That's the “even” there is to it: they've finally found their common ground. Aid, support, look after one another: it's not about trying to get in front or surpass the other anymore, but rather, stand side by side. And it gets me so emotional.
