Is this the same boy whose window you'd visit, even during a rain storm?
[ There's a teasing undercurrent to his words, but it remains light and affectionate. He remembers everything Linn has told him, including the mention of a boy from Linn's past, brought up some time ago. Dazai had tried to pry a little, his curiosity getting the better of him even back then.
But now he feels eager for information, intent on filling in all the blanks of Linneus' past as they're lain out in the pictures in front of them. ]
He looks completely different all grown up.
[ The photo with a roguish looking man with a side-shaved head comes under his scrutiny, but one look at the face and those blue eyes tells Dazai that he's not Linn's Xanthe anymore than Dazai might be. It's like night and day, comparing the stiff-backed and scowling child in grey to someone whose broad smile suggests his heart is worn on his sleeve.
Dazai knows this. But the question is meant to coax the conversation on, and perhaps compare the two men who seem to have been important enough to make Linn smile and laugh in ways he sees only every so often. ]
