Chuuya gives himself a day to cool off and get his shit together before doing anything else that involves

speaking

and

Dazai

. A day to stare at Kafka and hope for cosmic guidance. A day to trawl through his pantry for something edible that doesn 't take long or a written recipe to cook. A day to sit down and pick up where he last left off in his studies, frowning at the exercises in the books and scribbling down characters that are a bit hard on the eyes but hopefully right.

However, the only thing he learns is how much he prefers to study with Dazai. Annoying he might be, but his explanations and instructions are always easy to follow. And maybe the occasional praising comments here and there motivate him to try harder.

Chuuya can 't tell Dazai to stop acting a certain way, then do it himself, though. It has to go both ways.
