Chuuya's values for life truly express when its about a close one,when his friends died in Storm Bringer his rage was so intense Verlaine was able to activate the first gate to Corruption,and when his comrades died in DA he used Corruption in pure pain,seeking revenge➡️

Some thoughts about the Dolphin's pendant Chuuya wears in the aquarium,a Dolphin is a friend/helper/guide toward a goal,it symbolises harmony/peace joy/playfullness protection/teamwork,In christianism it was salvation for people in despair,its a good omen,"a love fire"➡️

Imagine Chuuya feels nostalgic of the aquarium because it reminds him his past,lost in the unknown into a dark comforting world,and now that he is free to swim/fly into the real world he knows his life is limited because Corruption could kill him,the price of freedom...

In the 15 LN it is said that Chuuya was feeling safe in his silent little dark cocoon,until Rimbaud broke his "peaceful" nest bringing him into the outter word,and in Storm Bringer Chuuya's clone died because he couldnt breath when Prof N took away his aqua life liquid➡️

Thanks to /sofuckingmoe for the translation
So Chuuya thinks the fish are safe in this aquarium because they are fed and away from predators,but this peaceful life is limited because they can't swim freely in the sea...It reminds when he was trapped in the lab aqua tub➡️

These two Dazai/Chuuya Mayoi sea cards together,for the nostalgic feeling their hands toward each other conveys ~
#soukoku
Growing up in a rough adult world before they met they never had the possibility to choose by themselves how they wanted to live,their childhood was taken away,and it was together that they were able to make their first choice in life,choosing to live and fight together
#soukoku
And its interesting it reflects the way Dazai always lets Chuuya the choice to use Corruption,especially in Storm Bringer when Dazai told he would lose all proof of his humanity if he used Corruption to fight Verlaine,a choice of an entire lifetime,it was so important➡️
#soukoku
In Dead Apple the intensity of the fight against Dragon's fyodor was as intense as the one he had at 16 against Verlaine's Guivre,back then Dazai caught him in his arms when he fell from the sky,and at 22 he kept him very close to him again,Chuuya couldnt move a finger➡️
#soukoku
Chuuya's body is always ripped apart by Arahabaki under Corruption,even if he heals fast i still wonder if his human nature will be able to bear the God of destruction many years,maybe like Akutagawa his lifetime is shortened by his ability and he may die of exhaustion➡️
