Nikolai had put so much effort into creating his monstrous faรงade. All the jesting, laughing, toying with the pain of others. He tried so hard to look like a โmonstrous person with nothing insideโ. But in the end he didn't want to be remembered as such.
Gogol still wanted to let the world know that he wasn't a monster. During his makeshift penance to Atsushi he tried to humanize himself by telling about the guilt and remorse he felt. Nikolai even confessed to the Agency that he admired the justice they fought for. He said: the light they emitted drawn him in.
Nikolai couldn't allow himself to be viewed as just another criminal. He wanted to be remembered. He wanted to make people care.
For that, Gogol gauged out his soul and presented it to the audience.
He wanted to be seen, even at the very last moment.

Hey, I was in the amazing street art show and I I came up with this headcanon in my head...
Nikolai Gogol as street performer who love attention from public. He love audience ovations โ so very satisfying even more than money, which he earn from performance. He do this for his own freedom. For freedom from his oppressive and closed to new things family, whose doesn't support his passion. He does it to spite them โ just as he takes you from the audience in spite of them and choose you to help in his โnew trickโ, assuring you that you will be safe in โhis strong armsโ. Lifting you a few meters wasn't too difficult with his ability like wasn't too difficult impressing the audience, whose rubbed their eyes in amazement.
When hen you were already on the ground, you weren't able to identify why your heart was beating faster โ because of stress or because of the handsome artist's gaze...
Made my day! XD
I really can imagine he would do something like that.
He'll grow back. He just need sunlight and fertilizer.
Uh-huh. Sure, you are completely a sane human being ;)
