"Atsushi...?"

It's not like Sigma hadn't known that Atsushi was part of the Armed Detective Agency. Logically, him showing up isn't unexpected at all.

But... Sigma still finds himself at a loss for words when he spots Atsushi walking in the direction of the Agency's building. Maybe it's because of the last time he saw him - Sigma still remembers those shouted words, the desperation in Atsushi's voice and the tight grip of his hand as he'd tried to stop him from falling to what should've been a certain death...

He didn't need to do that. No, more than that- he put himself at great risk by trying to save Sigma at all. Despite the fact that they were enemies, and Atsushi could've been killed himself, he still tried his hardest to save him, and... that's how Sigma knows his kindness isn't fake. As hard as it is to believe.

Dazai insisted that there were more people like that than Sigma thought; that he'd find them in the Detective Agency. Of course, shaking off a lifetime, no matter how short, of lessons learned about humanity's cruelty, isn't easy at all... but that doesn't stop him from feeling a surprising amount of nerves in his gut as he's suddenly faced with Atsushi, sooner than he thought.

"I..." asking if Atsushi remembers him would be ridiculous, but what is he meant to say? "You're going to the Agency...?"
