"You'll have to forgive Atsushi here," Dazai says in a singsong tone. "He's suffering from a temporary bout of memory loss. Atsushi-kun, this is your partner, Akutagawa Ryuunosuke."
His partner?
Out on assignment with Akutagawa, Atsushi gets hit by an ability that causes amnesia.
When he wakes up, he has a lot of questions.

Summary
“You brought snacks, Weretiger?”
Atsushi opens his eyes; Akutagawa is glaring at him across the alley, and irritation coils hot in Atsushi’s gut.
“Yeah, well some of us actually expend energy during a fight, rather than just standing in one place and letting our fancy Ability do all the work.”
“Of course you’d see it that way; your understanding of Special Abilities is so painfully rudimentary,” Akutagawa scoffs, but there’s the barest tremble beneath his words, and when Atsushi shoves another bite of onigiri into his mouth, Akutagawa’s eyes track its movements perfectly.
So that’s what this is about, Atsushi thinks, his anger dissipating as quickly as it came. What an idiot. You know you can just say that you’re hungry, right?

Summary
It can’t end like this. Atsushi has mere minutes left, maybe less, and he can’t die listening to Akutagwa’s scolding and insults. Comfort has never come easily to Akutagwa, but he has to try. Atsushi deserves that much, at least.
But Akutagawa can’t think of what to say. He can’t tell Atsushi that it’s fine, that he’ll be okay, or any of those trite, hollow reassurances. It’s not okay, and perhaps it never will be again — not without Atsushi.
In his last moments, bloody and painful though they are, Atsushi deserves better than lies. So Akutagawa instead settles on the deepest truth he knows. Perhaps, here and now, the only truth.
“You can’t die, you useless overgrown cat,” Akutagawa snarls, half-choking on a sob. “I love you, so you can’t die. Not when I love you.”
Thinking Atsushi is dying in his arms, Akutagawa confesses his love, knowing he’ll never have another chance.
But of course Atsushi, always the thorn in Akutagawa’s side, does something wholly unexpected.
He survives.

Summary
Dazai knows a thing or two about scars. He can tell the old ones from the new, the superficial from the deep, the merely uncomfortable from the utterly agonizing. And so he knows, with a single look, that Atsushi had spent years and years of his youth with pain as his oldest, closest companion.

Summary
On the kitchen’s table there was a lily bulb in yellow vase. Atsushi brought it home a few weeks before and told him it was for him to water and grow. He promised to take care of it. Not slaughtering his enemies wasn’t enough anymore; he needed to make something live.
Or: true strength is what it takes to face oneself.
