It might be? Let's see...

[Taking the parchment, he reads over it quickly, and... wow. Wow. It's weird enough to be best buddies with Akutagawa in the story, but at least that's only Atsushi's problem (and Akutagawa's, maybe, but he deserves everything he gets, anyway). Making Kyouka the baddie, though? That is offensive.]

This definitely isn't what happened. No - it is what happened, but it's completely wrong.

[Which arguably isn't the best explanation (or, indeed, any explanation at all), but even acknowledging the story's most grievous errors feels like giving it more attention than it deserves. Atsushi is tempted to wreck the text, but... it's still a book... and destroying it doesn't feel right. Instead, he'll focus on the things that are easier to address.]

For one thing: I'm definitely not a werewolf! Look!

[He holds up an arm and transforms it. Does that look like a wolf to you? DOES IT?!]
