Me included.
[Atsushi knew he wasn't that knowledgeable. It was fine by him, he was learning, always learning. But he knew he tended to rely on clever people, like Dazai, Kyouka and Kunikida, Saki and Inaba.]
I-I'm sorry, though. I didn't realize.... it was thoughtless of me, to say things like that... I wasn't thinking.

And that would make people abandon her. ]
I only know so much trivia because I had a phase and that. . . kind of didn't leave me, here.
