I feel like a lot of people misunderstand the relationship between Verlaine and Chuuya. There's a lot of argument over whether they're biologically brothers or not. That's not the point. The point is how they came into the world and their unnatural birth. Or, at least, how Verlaine perceives it. He sees both him and Chuuya as artificial beings that will never be human no matter how hard they may try, so they may as well stop trying to fit in with these disgusting humans and just find solace in each other. He calls Chuuya his brother because he feels like he's the only one who can truly understand what he's going through. Their "brothership" stems from their shared existence as artificial beings. This is why Chuuya rejects it so violently at first. He doesn't want to be anything like the man who slaughtered his friends. He wants to be human.

Then, throughout the book, Chuuya comes to accept that however he came into this world, naturally or otherwise, he chooses to be human, and that's what it's important. His actions are what make him human. Verlaine learns this, too, but it's already far too late. He, too, had the chance to be human, but he was too focused on the possibility of being inhuman instead of actually trying to be a good person or to accept the care and support of his friend, Rimbaud, and now, he's gone. That is the tragedy of his story. He always had the opportunity to be human, but he threw it away for the sake of anger and hatred.

Only when they have both learned this lesson that Chuuya accepts Verlaine as his brother. Not because they're biologically related or anything, but because they do have this shared experience with one another, and he's here for him. Not because he forgives him for what he did. But because he has an opportunity to be better.

Chuuya:.......

I actually love how Kōyō's right eye is specifically covered and not her left because the right eye is mostly believed to be "good" or to represent "Heaven." While the left eye is to represent the "devil" or "hell." This is again connected to connected to Kōyō's beliefs on the world itself. When we see the panel of when Kōyō was much younger, she had both eyes visible, but in present timeline and overall after the death of the older man she attempted to escape with, her right eye is covered. This is actually to show how Kōyō can't see anything but darkness now. She has covered the good part of herself and has accepted the darkness and cruelty of the mafia. She had both eyes present when she was younger because she had the chance of being in the light. But now, that chance is gone, and she is stuck in the dark, refusing to come out. We can also see that she almost always has her right hand covered, again, symbolising how she has become the darkness in a way. The right hand is considered holy, and the fact that she often covers it is such an interesting detail.

This also greatly reforms there whole "siblings -in -everything but- not -blood" as currently chuuya is walking the same path as kōyō did once just in a different way, chuuya's path started out different from kōyō but I can see him covering his right eye again if he becomes the next pm boss . The same path different shoes.

Similarly chuuya also is sporting a similar hair style by covering his right eye or the "good" , "heavenly" because he refuses to believe in the good of the people after the deaths of the flags of his friends 

This also makes chuuya seem more similar to verlaine as he is literally having the same hairstyle as him , showing his possible sway to his older brothers words and actions
