Confessions Page #3

His mother sat beside him.

And everytime he said something, her only response was...

It's not fair.

She kept saying it.

But she wasn't talking about my dead daughter. She was talking about her son.

At the start of February, 'A' made contact with 'B'.

To recruit him to aid in a terrible plan.

Who would be good?

For what?

Woah, is that the thing that won the contest?

I juiced it up a bit, so I want to test it on someone.

It doesn't really matter who. Though I did make it to zap bad guys.

Then I guess we'd better find some creep to test it on too.

'B''s first suggestion was Mr. Tokura.

'A' didn't respond.

So then 'B' put forward my name.

I hate that b*tch.

One of her students is in trouble, and she sends another teacher to do her dirty work.

But I've already tested it on her.

'A' wasn't interested in that idea either.

Then how about her daughter?

We'd be punishing a teacher for caring more about her daughter than her students.

'B' talked about how Manami came by the pool to feed the dog...

...and how he saw her clamouring for the pouch...

...and it not being bought for her.

The target they chose...

...was my daughter.

My young, defenseless daughter.

Your mommy wouldn't buy this for you, right?

Or has she given you one already?

Right. She asked us to go and buy it for you.

Mommy said that?

Here you go. A Valentine's Day present from your lovely mommy.

Try opening it.

There's chocolate inside.

What the hell? T...this is bad!

She's dead.

I killed her 'cause she was a little brat that wouldn't shut up.

If you tell them all that I did it, they'll let you off.

I told him that and headed home.

But then that moron had to go and...

If it came out that the pouch had killed her...

I thought I'd be guilty, so...

I thought if I made it look like she fell in the pool...

I wouldn't be found out.

That was the truth behind Manami's death.

As the two of them said...

...the police determined that it was an accident.

I have no intention of fighting that judgement.

It wasn't simply the pouch that killed her.

I took a look at it...

...and even taking into account that she was only four...

...it can't deliver enough of a shock to stop someone's heart.

Want to give it a try?

Manami had just fallen unconscious.

There's no doubt in my mind that the true cause of her death...

...was her drowning after 'B' threw her into the pool.

It's quite ironic.

'A' had the guts to kill someone, but failed to do so.

And 'B' didn't want to hurt anyone, but ended up killing Manami.

Even if I brought forth this evidence to the police, the two would...

..be protected by juvenile law, and would suffer nothing more than being put into care.

Essentially, they'd be viewed as innocent.

I've decided that that's simply not enough.

It's a teacher's duty to reprimand her students when they've done wrong.

I intend to make the two of them realise the severity of their crimes...

...and come to appreciate the importance of life.

I want them to live, each day...

bearing the weight of their crimes.

I mixed a little something...

...into the cartons of milk the two of them were drinking.

The HIV-contaminated blood of Masayoshi Sakuramiya.

Sh*t!

Calm down!

You were good enough to drink it all up, too.

Thank you.

I hope you look forward to the three month wait on blood tests.

If the results come back positive, the incubation period is five to ten years.

Time enough, I think, to repent for your sins,

and to realise the value of life.

Spring is a season when everything bursts into life.

The flowers, the trees, the grass, the birds, and even people...

I wish you all a wonderful Spring holiday!

(Confession:
Yuko Moriguchi)

That's all I have to say.

Miss Moriguchi...

...you wouldn't believe your eyes.

Seeing the sunny smiles on the faces of our class...

...now that you've gone, and the new term is rolling in.

(6th April

Start of term ceremony for Year Two Class B)

April didn't bring any changes to our class,

but it did bring a new face during homeroom.

Werther.

That's what people have been calling me since my school days.

But it's 'Werther', not 'worrier'. You can count on me.

The awful jokes kept coming.

Yukari.

Maki?

(And he acted all friendly with us, like he had known us forever.)

Ayaka? And...Naoki?

Oh, that's right, he caught a cold.

Everyone knew Nao wasn't absent because of some stupid cold.

What surprised us more was that Shuuya...

...continued coming to school.

I wasn't exactly what you'd call a serious student in school.

But then I read a book that changed my life.

That had to be...

...the worst joke of all.

"While wandering the world, I read the Bible.

And in it I discovered the true shape of education.

'What man among you...

...who has 100 sheep and loses one of them...

...does not leave the 99 in the open field...

...and go after the lost one until he finds it?'"

Teach, you're awesome!

I want to show you all how passionately I believe in these words!

I think...everyone was just cowardly...

You can count on me whenever you need me!

They wanted to hide from the horrible truth Ms. Moriguchi had shown us.

I'll support you with all my might!

So they pretended to be stupid.

I want to be like a big brother to you all!

(Confession:
Mizuki Kitahara)

Miyu?

Natsuki?

Tsukekun?

Misebon?

I'm sorry.

I've been lying to you.

I told you Naoki couldn't come to class because of colds or illnesses.

But he's not just been skipping.

He wants to come to class, but he's very sick mentally.

Werther was the only one in the class...

...who didn't know why he was like that to begin with.

(We'll refer to the one who leaked Miss Moriguchi's confession as Boy 'C')

The mail was sent to everyone in the class just after...

...the closing ceremony that day. Nobody knew who sent it.

How about it, everyone?

Want to help me make it easier for him to come back?

For example, maybe we could make lots of leaflets, and...

...Class Representative Mizuki and I could take one to his house each week.

No good? What do you think, Mizuki?

Sounds okay.

Stand up! Thanks.

Do you have a nickname too, Mizuki?

Mozuki.

People used to call me it in junior school.

Mozuki!

Mizuki the moron. Mozuki.

Mozuki, huh?

Right, I'll call you that from now on.

What a cute nickname!

Mozuki!

Is Naoki here?

Yes.

If a teacher as passionate as you had been his homeroom teacher,

Nao might never have ended up like this.

The last teacher was a single mother, right?

Imagine, bringing your child to work in the first place.

Nao's mother danced around the subject of the incident...

...itself, and just kept blaming Miss Moriguchi.

I can't help but feel like she was so focused on her daughter...

...that she lost sight of the needs of her students.

So Naoki is...

Naoki is the sort of boy...

...who can do anything if he tries.

Please let me help with Naoki.

Thank you.

Nao!

Nao!

I told you to stay the hell away from me!
