[Haah. The other him surely did a number of Atsushi-kun, huh? Then again, he was also the same back in the day. There's even a pang of nostalgia that comes from that reaction - one that he is unused to feeling when it comes to matters with his favorite student.
Perhaps he is leaning too hard into this act. But even now he doesn't know how exactly he could save Atsushi-kun. Things like these are actually hard for Dazai.
He remembers the headpat he gave Akutagawa-kun one time, and he practically fainted as a result. Should he do the same..? No, maybe not on the head. That might still be too much to process.
He decides to place a calming hand on his shoulder instead, and Dazai hopes his smile isn't too sharp. That it is the ray of encouragement he intends to give instead.]
Have some faith in yourself. I know you can do it.
