I don't know why Atsushi and Kunikida bothered with children at all: Atsushi can survive with a huge number of injuries, so he could just shield Kunikida and just run forward together. Run and that's it. The girl would have stayed alive + would have saved a little time. A slightly logical drawdown, it seems to me.
P.s. Fedor and the cello
Rampo's words about the fact that he fights with Fedor as if with Dazai are gorgeous♥️♥️😍🥰
