I LOVE IT! the parallel between main timeline and BEAST is simply magnificent and the "alternate if route" will forever pain me lmao the lyrics also really fit Dazai (love how the ambigious dancing in life lines up), especially BEAST Dazai (the right choice is the wrong choice, the wrong choice is the right one). the way you draw his expressions too. it's honestly just amazing.i absolutely love your artstyle, portrayal and choice of people. some flashing lines are lines directly taken from the beast light novel for non-japanese speakers (i'll add more later): 2:23 "to protect this world" (dazai to shin soukoku, during his final show) 2:46 "no one knows the future" (akutagawa's thoughts in the epilogue, explaining his philosophy with life after knowing about the world's "truth") 2:49 "it's a huge plan, atsushi-kun. (brief ramble about how nothing can stop it and comparing its scale to one of a natural disaster's)" (dazai to atsushi - i believe this talk happened right before/around when dazai sends atsushi to deliver gin's photo to the agency, where he briefly mentioned that he was on step three of a plan, and the second was to get akutagawa to join the ada) 2:51 "all i can do is love. the fact that this world is one big lie"
