(Sorry, I thought I would be able to post Atsushi's sentencing a little earlier, but family have inconvenienced me this entire week to the point I'm mobile bound so please forgive my formatting.)

Atsushi has reached out on the network and consulted with more than three people, most notably his conversations with Douman, Kabane, and the victim himself Akutagawa have made him reflect a little more on his actions.

While he understands his actions were deemed dangerous, he does not show much remorse at the time because he felt what he did was justified and had it not been for his order from Dazai, he would have opted to kill Akutagawa instead. He only feels guilty because his actions may have inconvenienced his superior, but he is incapable of showing sympathy for the victim as of current as long as he views Akutagawa as a danger to his superior.
