A sad one today..

Day#25 Gunshot.

This one needs no introductions..

Symbolism:

Initially I wanted to add a smear of blood to Odasaku, as he is deceased and the rest alive, but then I went back on that thought since I imagined this being Dazai's cognition..Oda is alive still in there, as Dazai goes to place flowers at his grave he still talks to him as if he were alive, though of course Dazai understands he's not, it makes him feel better.
Natsume is the center peace as all these changes happened somewhat arround him. All these changes he witnessed in a way
Ango is facing with his back to Dazai symbolically, they've distanced, simultaneously he is a grim reminder of the past no doubt, hence he's facing looking somewhere far back..
Red string: "For the Japanese, who know so much and intuit more, human relations are predestined by a red string that the gods tie to the pinky fingers of those who find each other in life. Legend has it that the two people connected by this thread will have an important story, regardless of the time, place or circumstances." -(Faena.com)
