   Summary

   Because Dazai isn't Shuuji.

   Dazai is not the boy raised in the den of wolves, protected and sheltered, free to roam beneath the watchful eyes of god. Dazai is not the child with the loose-tooth grin, overexcited and full of life, endlessly speaking to anyone who will listen.

   ‘Dazai Osamu’ is what is forged between the marble of the mafia, what is formed when stone is heated to a diamond cracked, fractured, and yet labeled as 'faceted' as a diamond should be. Dazai Osamu is the teenager with the covered eye, wounded and afraid on the front steps of a house he doesn't know, that his heart knows, gun pointed in protection while beaten by the rain.

   Fukuzawa Yukichi does not know 'Dazai Osamu'

   So all he can do is learn.
