BEAST Chapter 14.2

Sense of Guilt  is the second part of the 14th chapter of the Bungo Stray BEAST manga.

Summary
Atsushi recalls Dazai's past order that prohibits him to go to his past orphanage at all costs. However, on a certain May 5th three and a half years ago, Atsushi disobeyed Dazai and attacked the orphanage using the connections and influence he gained as part of the Mafia's raid unit, in an attempt to reduce his past to ashes and provide a sense of comfort to his weeping young self.

When he infiltrated the orphanage with his subordinates, Atsushi transformed into the white tiger and stormed the dormitories. Though he was always frightened of the orphanage director, Atsushi had then vowed to conquer such fear, wanting to turn his birthday into a different kind of birthday on that fateful May 5th.

As he passed by the shabby walls of the orphanage and its rooms, he recounted memories of punishment and pain, including one instance when the orphanage director asked him to hammer a nail into his foot as a way to teach him how to endure pain, only to be eventually hammered by the director instead when the 11-year-old Atsushi was unable to. Atsushi ultimately steeled himself to burn the orphanage in order to appease the cries of his young self on his birthday.
