[Is he really that good?? Or just wasn't Phoenix long enough??]

...You're good too, Mikey. [He eventually says, quietly.] I'm not saying you never did anything wrong, because we both know that's far from the case.

[Even if it was the curse's fault, what happened still happened. Plus, even without the curse, he doesn't think Mikey never hurt someone before. It's just he's not entirely bad. Takemichi wouldn't have tried so hard, Yu wouldn't be with him, right? Mikey wouldn't have gone out of his way in the past to help Scott.]

But you're trying. You're trying now.

[That phrase has come back to Scott many times now. Not quite parting words from Dazai, but definitely the lesson that's stuck most to him. Even after all this time, he still remembers him and how much he both helped him and drove him nuts. He doesn't think about him too long, not when Mikey's still shut on the other side of this door, something that gets the mutant to slowly slide to the floor and lean against it.

At least none of his roommates are here to witness this. Probably makes it easy for Mikey too.]
It's okay if you're feel weak about it.
