Third: We all know sooner or later the legend of the red thread of destiny (and we know how much the japanese love that legend). In the light novel, I don't quite remember which part, sorry... Dazai ties a red ribbon to Chuuya and holds it as well. In promotional/official arts, Chuuya appears a lot with red ribbons, and Dazai, with blue ribbons, however, they can also be seen with ribbons of the other's color. It's a subtle detail, but it's representative of them.

The funny thing is this: in another of the works of the real Osamu Dazai, he wrote about finding his wife thanks to the red thread of fate (yes, he believed in that). You can look it up and read it for yourself (and get excited like me). :D
