I like to think that somewhere in the agency there's a little photo album of the members
It started as a Fukuzawa-Ranpo-Yosano family photo album but then a picture of kunikida got thrown in there and some of Katai.
Theres at least one picture of everyone. When looking through it it's pretty clear when someone new joined since there's so many of them for a bit and then it fades back into group pictures.
Kenji gives them some pictures of him as a kid on his farm. There's pictures of all of the major achievements each one did, entrance exams, first cases, katais last case of actually being there, a couple of birthdays and agency holiday parties. Atsushi and kyouka's wanted posters are in there. Dazais gets added after a while, but they struggled to track it down.
Maybe at some point they start gaining little pictures of the members lovers as well, a few of ranpo with poe (and Karl ofc) they manage to get one of Chuuya and Dazai, a really blurry one of Akutagawa and Atsushi.
There one big, happy, complicated family and it's great.

ive never been happier to be a littérature student than when i started reading nevermore (webtoon) for a friend and could teach her about Edgar Allan Poe and his works. she didn't know it was related at all and was amazed by all the references details pulled out of his poems and short stories
for my followers who don't know about it, it's a sapphic spooky webtoon magnificently drawn with awesome plot and awesomest characters
