Jezebel :
Victims often pick up mannerisms and traits from their abusers, no matter how small or significant the action/habits are. Even with Yosano, you can sometimes see the same manic glint in her eyes that's also present in Mori's eyes when he starts being unhinged. Meanwhile, when Dazai gets serious, you see that empty, muddy look in his eyes that you see in Mori's nearly all of the time. Yosano and Mori also resort to the same tactics to shut people up when needed, those tactics being threats and violence. Mori is more manipulative than her, but the one we see take after that manipulative side of him the most is Dazai. Not only are their mannerisms are similar, but their psychology is too. I'd say, Mori understands Dazai better than anyone in BSD. Oda came close and did give a pretty accurate description of how people see Dazai and just how deep the darkness inside of him goes as it eats away at the hole in his chest, but Mori doesn't need to describe who Dazai is at all because he outright says it when Dazai asks him who he reminded him of; "Myself, of course." Not two sides of the same coin, but two coins with similar sides. I love the way Asagiri writes trauma, omg!!✨😋
