Summary
That night, in the lapse before Chuuya’s descent, Dazai thought he might be human, after all. Because if human beings found awe in the face of raw beauty, if beauty elicited the same reaction as terror did, then Dazai was a being urged to face the ugliness carved into his skin.
Before something truly, inexplicably beautiful, he was human — in wonder and dread, falling.
Dazai feels human just once in his life, and it's in the face of Chuuya's terrorizing beauty — a study in devotion.

Summary
Nakahara Chuuya was fifteen when he lost the Sheep, his then-family of rumpled misfits; crowned a title for his immense strength — to be king was no choice. It was a responsibility that held him by the neck.
He was sixteen before the Flags’ brutally slaughtered corpses, helpless on his feet; a child, only learning the ways of the underworld and human tact; grappling at his friends’ halved bodies as he’s thrown into a bloodied cage, its gilded wires squeezing his heart to bursting.
Before Verlaine, before Guivre, Chuuya is sixteen still; a tool honed at the behest of the Port Mafia’s very own king — Mori Ougai. In his sterile, gloved palms, Chuuya was nothing but a weapon in a meister’s machiavellian hands, a vicious, ruthless player in the boss’ grand machinations.
Because even kings and queens were pawns in a game of chess.
What is divine to the world shreds him apart from within — Chuuya never rests, but with Dazai, he gets a semblance of it.
