Thinking about this has me crying—
So, in Beast, Akutagawa grew up in the streets, right? Realistically, how literate would he even be? In the manga, his report was really simple, and he did talk to Astsushi about getting paper and books, but suppose that he couldn't read.
I imagine him learning that Kunikida is a teacher, and although he was a math teacher, Akutagawa goes to him and asks if he could teach Akutagawa to read properly, fully complete and complicated sentences.
Obviously, Kunikida thinks it's a great idea and will help, but seeing how focused Akutagawa is about it, he asks, "What brought this on?"
And Akutagawa is quiet for a moment, before he looks down, saying softly, "Oda-san is writing a book."

It looks whithered away compared to the old version. This picture's emotions are the exact same as mine when I looked at the old version

"Dazai's expression as he placed a finger on his forehead and approached the enemy - that of a child about to burst into tears - remained burned into my eyes."

Do you ever start thinking about the fact that Dazai literally made tiny snowmen based on his favourite people? The ones he secretly keeps in his heart?
Said people being:
- ANGO
- ODASAKU
- ATSUSHI
- CHUUYA
AND I BELIEVE IT'S BEAUTIFUL
