An older drawing of Akutagawa I made, no one really liked it but I’m fond of it 😊
Don’t mind me just shooting green aura into your eyes as you read this auaaauhuaaaaaaaaaaauauauuauaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauaaaauaauuuuuuuuuuuuuauuuuuuuauauauaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I do find it interesting how Fitzgerald is the first character to bring up not just the Headmaster, but Atsushi’s parents.
You have a father doing whatever it takes to bring his daughter back to life.
And the son that was abused and abandoned that’s being ridiculed and taunted over the fact that he was unwanted.
Thinking about what the Beast version of these current manga events would be.
And somehow it’s even more heartbreaking.
Because Beast Akutagawa has already gone through the pain of losing the people he cares about and blaming himself for it.
The Agency became his new home and now he’s losing them too.
Beast Kunikida, the man who hugged him close and told him he wasn’t evil. He smiles at him now as he fades away.
Beast Junichiro, the boy who came to his aid when he tried to walk a painful path alone. He tried to fight alone to spare him and is taken out with a pained smile.
Beast Kenji, the boy who took his hand showed him he was never alone. His hand is still in Beast Akutugawa’s grasp.
The President apologises but it’s Beast Akutugawa who should be sorry.
Its all his fault.
He’s a jinx. He’s a curse. He couldn’t save his friends then and he can’t save them now. He drops to his knees as the divine being floats closer.
Beast Akutagawa doesn’t fear death. But he’s terrified of being alone in this wretched world. His sister wants nothing to do with him, if shes even still out there now.
But at least now, he can return to the new home he forged.
He closes his eyes and surrenders himself ti his fate. He’s sure the Man in Black is watching in amusement but he doesn’t care.
Oda…I’m sorry.
But before the blade can strike something stops it. Beast Akutagawa looks up stares in surprise at his apparent saviour.
Though he supposed it made sense that the day he let himself die, he’d come face to face with the Reaper.
No because I love that the advice here is that Atsushi needs to feel strongly.
That what Fyodor and the Headmaster have berated and mocked him for is not a weakness here but a strength.
Atsushi who was told for years that crying was a privilege reserved for others. Atsushi who is so so traumatised and has felt pain so strongly he doesn’t know himself without it.
He’s being told that in order to move forward. In order to keep going and learn, you need to let yourself feel.
