   Summary

   chuuya is one of the best gladiators in the roman empire.
   Dazai is not. he talked his way up.
   when theyre pitted up to fight against each other, chuuya cant bring himself to kill him, why?

   OR

   chuuya and dazai are gladiators and are definitely NOT supposed to have a behind the scenes relationship when either one of them (Dazai) could die any day

   OR OR

   I recently learnt a lot about roman gladiators and all I could think about the whole time was how well I could incorporate it into a soukoku story
