"a little bit more of the powdered snow than what's considered romantic will cover his body with a thud."

when I read this line, I thought how could flour be considered romantic and that maybe this is just typical Dazai thinking being suffocated by flour is romatic to an extent and then I remembered that one scene that appears in MOST ROM-COMS

The Couple Cooking montage where they throw flour at each other.

which begs many questions: Was Dazai referring to this scene? and if so, does that mean Dazai actually watches rom-coms 😭? and furthermore he was projecting his own 15 year old wattpad romantic fantasy on Chuuya ???

I love how Dazai's brain so often defaults to some reference to romance when he's talking about or to Chuuya. Like he's gotta shoehorn a slight remark in there. No Dazai I don't think Rimbaud thought you wanted to suffocate Chuuya in a pit full of flour romantically but thanks for clarifying that it wouldn't be a romantic dusting of flour.
