Something that drives me crazy about the punch scene in the Dead Apple flashback that I finally can put into words:
Before the Dragon Head Conflict, Chuuya and Dazai weren't partners. They became partners during the conflict, and were so good at working together that they became notorious in and outside of the Mafia. And then the bodies kept piling up, and Dazaj got dragged back into nihilism. And that is that made Chuuya pissed. Like, SB Dazai would not have made Chuuya pissed like that, because at that point he expects Dazai to be an asshole. It's only after they became partners, when Chuuya saw the humanity that Dazai was capable of, that seeing the old Dazai, the Dazai he hates, pop back up again made him pissed enough to punch him and say that Dazai does not look human to anyone.
And then Dazai cares so much about Chuuya's opinion of him that he ends the whole conflict. He cares so much. He straight up says "I'm fixing this cause my partner is upset with me" to Shibusawa in that bonus story.
Something happened in DBH before then that made them truly care about each other. To see each other as important. Like, if anything, what I want is a DHC Light Novel because that is when they became partners, and that changed everything.

Hyde: "Well, not to get your hopes down, but that's gonna be a few hours of work to get it all. Didn't want to borrow someone's camping gear?" ochako: i guess it makes more sense to work hard for something, right? Hyde: "...Yeah. You're right." ochako:... ??

Paku: "To be fair, I'm pretty sure he asked everyone." ^\\\^; izumo: he did. -_-; he even asked girls that dont even _go_ to our school. i think he even asked a collage senior. Paku: "He may not be good in his lessons, but when it comes to dating, he's persistent. But that's a bit too much for me, so I declined." izumo: *sigh of relief* oh thats good, i nearly had a heart attack. shiemi: maybe you could ask godaiin? Paku: "???" *looks around--then points at herself* shiemi: *nod nod* Paku: "I mean, I would--but he hasn't asked me...Is he even going?" izumo: heck if i know. shiemi: then lets ask him then? izumo: right now?!

Shima: >~< konekomaru: *has a fist bruise on his face* i didnt think that would insult her.... Bon: "You two need help! Like, can't we have someone advise you on how to ask people properly on a date?!" Shima: *sits up in bed* "Like you're one to talk! You can't get a date either!" Bon: .____. -and so- sayaka: *hands them a game; specifically, a dating sim.* Shima: "...Sweet! Thank you!" Bon: "You got to be kidding me! How is this going to help us?!" konekomaru: i see, by using the game, it might help us with real life? sayaka: yep! it even comes with a player's guide inside it too! Shima: *staring at the drawings of the characters* "...Video games just got so much better than when I was a kid!" Bon: -_-# "...Let's just get this over with." konekomaru: i'll get it installed. you're a livesaver, miki! -and so- Bon: "...Why is he giving us tickets?" konekomaru: maybe ask him for help? Shima: *selecting the option* "Okay, bro--can you help us get a date?" [tomoda: hoho, so you want to know your current popularity ranking, eh? here's how you rate so far!] -the girls shown are a sweet looking girl resembling a brunette shiemi, a girl with twintails, a girl with long lavender hair, and a cute girl with glasses- konekomaru: so we have the childhood friend type, the tsundere class rep type, the mysterious transfer student, and the clumsy nurse's aid. Shima: "...Ah, man--so many options! The brunette is so pretty--but that twintail girl is probably a real vixen! And I bet the clumsy girl--" Bon: *chop* "No." Shima: >_<# "But we got to pick one, man! Konekomaru, which one?" konekomaru: hmm. not sure. but why is tomoda helping us? Shima: "To move the game along." Bon: "No...No, there's a deeper reason. Let's keep going..." konekomaru: i guess. this one then. [haruna: *the childhood friend* hm? oh, ShiBonKo! good morning. ^^] konekomaru: ok, now what do i do? Bon: "Say hello to her." [-hey haruna-] [tomoda: morning you two! you lovebirds walking to school together, haha!] [haruna: e-eh? tomoda, its not like that! >///<; ] konekomaru: hey guys....i just had a thought. Bon: "Y-Yeah?" Shima: ._. konekomaru: maybe, tomoda has a crush on the player? Bon: "..." Shima: "..." Bon: "...That makes perfect sense." Shima: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAND I'M DONE." konekomaru: SHIMA. SIT. BEHAVE. Shima: >3< "I'm here for the ladies, not Tomoda--" Bon: "SIT DOWN AND KEEP PLAYING!" Shima: *grumbles* *proceeds* -as they keep going, one could see how much tomoda cares for the player- [tomoda: you know, im glad i met you, ShiBonKo.] [end credits roll] konekomaru: ........... Bon: "......" Shima: "......." konekomaru: t-..to..- bon + shima + konekomaru: TOMODAAAAAAAA!!!! TT______TT Bon: "WHY DID YOU GIVE UP YOUR HAPPINESS FOR US?!" Shima: "WE DIDN'T EVEN SCOOOOOOORE!" konekomaru: YOU IDIOT! YOU SHOULD HAVE ENJOYED YOUR YOUTH TOO!!! TT~TT Bon: "HE GAVE UP SO MUCH FOR US--AND WE CAN'T EVEN REPAY HIM!" Shima: "NO! We _will_ repay him!" konekomaru: *NODS* WE'LL GIVE HIM HIS HAPPY ENDING IN DOUJIN FORM!! Shima: "YEAH! ...Wait, what? I meant we'd go get dates--" Bon: *already putting out the paper and pencils* "We get to work now!" konekomaru: RIGHT NOW WE NEED TO FOCUS ON TOMODA'S FEELINGS! -one setting up of supplies later- konekomaru: *checking player guide* alright, so who should tomoda's love interest be for this scenario? Shima: "Pick the girl with the money." konekomaru: you mean kaorin? that would be the class rep. i supposed their interactions would make an interesting comedy... Bon: "But is that really taking Tomoda's feelings into consideration?" konekomaru: !! you're right! i wasnt thinking right! im such a fool! TT^TT Bon: "It's okay--we know Tomoda has a big heart and will forgive...Instead, let's find the person who makes Tomoda the most happy." konekomaru: hmmm, *re-reading tomoda's bio* lets see....someone who tomoda would be happy with... Bon: "...even during three years...that he'd be devoted to for so long--" Shima: "...Who'd make him happy..." konekomaru:....!!!!! of course, it was right in front of us the whole time! Bon: "You're right! It's--It's--" All three:  THE MAIN PLAYER CHARACTER!!! -morning- Rin: *knocks* "...Bon? Come on! I need to borrow your homework!" madoka: maybe they're out? *tries the knob. it opens* ?? guys? ... !!!!! konekomaru: *passed out* zzzzz Bon: "Zzzz..." *his head on the table* Shima: "Zzz...D-Devoted..." Rin: "..." *whispers* "I think they had a sleepover--without me! I'm so bummed!" konekomaru: nyehu? *his glasses are sideways* oh...hey rin, hey madoka. *yaaaawn* madoka: what happened in here? Rin: *picks up a paper* madoka:..... o.o is this......? "ShiBonKo": "Can't you see? I LOVE YOU MORE THAN 12 GIRLS!"
