[Atsushi has been here for a few months now. Without his friends or their guidance. That time was not spent entirely alone (he's been good to the locals and they're been good to him,) and he hasn't sat around uselessly (there's an entire library of information to read.) But he can't say he's been happy either.
That unhappiness was only amplified when he found out about the SpaceTime shrine. It's obvious to him that this festival is an attempt to distract from something horrible, which made enjoying the festivities nearly impossible. Already on edge, it was impossible for Atsushi to miss a familiar face among the crowds.]
D, Dazai-san? When did you... How long have you been here?
