Nao!

It's all that b*tch's fault.

(Confession:
Yuko Shimomura)

That dear little Nao ended up like this...

Pee.

He wouldn't let me touch anything he had touched...

...and insisted on washing every inch of it himself.

Yet for some reason he wouldn't wash his hair, and refused to take a bath.

That b*tch...

Why Manami?

Why did Manami have to die?

What are you babbling about?

She made it sound like it was all Nao's fault.

Even though he was just led astray by bad friends.

It's not fair.

Nao...

Stay the hell away!

The hell aren't you workin'?

(Death to Shuuya Watanabe)

(61 points, 58 points, 53 points...)

(Murderer!)

(10 points, 9 points, 8 points...)

(Death to Shuuya Watanabe! Murderer!)

(Shuuya Punishment Points scoreboard)

(Do your best everyone! ^^)

Nobody knew who it was...

(Holy war on the murderer! Gather those points!)

...who sent around the mails.

Who'll write some words to cheer up Naoki?

(FILL..)

Fill your heart with joy!

(THE...)

The road ahead is still long!

(KILL...)

Kill off all your doubts!

(LEARn...)

You live you learn!

How is Naoki?

Can I talk to him for just a few moments?

Sir...

Just call me Werther.

Doing this stuff isn't going to make Nao come to school.

It might actually have the oppos...

Mozuki, relax.

This is just a little adolescent angst. If he gets through it, he'll see the light.

(DIE)

It's never over 'til you die!

(GO)

Let's go for it!

Why...?

Why is it that Nao can be peaceful, but...

...everytime that guy comes here...

...he's terrified...

That stupid teacher.

Spouting that optimistic rubbish.

He's useless.

I slipped sleeping pills into his food.

My husband was away on work.

And my eldest daughter was busy with her studies in Tokyo.

There was nobody in the house but the two of us.

Nobody to protect him but me.

Mom...

Nao...

Who's this?

The heck's he smiling for?

June.

There are bullies in this class.

And the one being bullied is Shuuya Watanabe.

This note was in among the homework I took in yesterday.

It took courage to write this.

I'm not just gonna ignore that.

I think the bullies are just jealous.

Because Shuuya's the smartest kid in the year.

Don't think you can just walk all over him...

...just because he's smarter than you!

He couldn't have been more wrong.

Shuuya's intellect is one of his unique qualities!

You all possess unique, individual abilities too!

The ability to bully those weaker than you.

The ability to forget things you don't want to face.

I want to see you all continue to polish those abilities.

Because I'm always watching over you.

Hey, it was you who grassed us up, right?

No! It wasn't me!

The class blamed me.

Because I was the only one whose punishment points sat at...

Mizuki 0 Points

Allying yourself with a murderer...

Don't you have any shame, Mozuki?

Don't you feel sorry for Miss Moriguchi?

Don't!

Lemme go!

Kiss!

Miss... Our class is finished.

Naoki's crying.

He's probably thinking about the accident.

And crying...

...for the girl who died.

It's clear to me.

I know he hasn't changed a bit.

That same old gentleness...

He's still Naoki.

Fill...the...kill...lear... Filthy killer.

(I'm at the underpass under the bridge. Can we meet?)

(I'll be there.)

Just wanted to let you know.

It's fine. I already knew.

Hey! Wanna go drink some juice?

So you already knew?

bAldi Arman/b

Yeah. Had to be a lie.

Mixing HIV-infected blood into milk.

Couldn't believe everyone bought it.

How come?

Well...

If someone was really trying to kill someone, or get revenge...

...they wouldn't feed us all that sh*t about the importance of life.

You think?

She didn't have the guts.

No matter how much she hated you.

She just said that stuff to give you a wake up call.

I could tell.

You're not afraid of me?

Even though I'm Boy 'A'?

Why'd you bother telling me the results?

Because even though my life isn't very important...

...yours is.

You've been sending weird mails around and setting everyone on me...

Right, Hoshino?

If you keep f***ing with me...

...then I'm gonna put these lips all over you.

Just kidding.

I'll pay for it. All of it.

You shouldn't eat it. You'll get AIDS.

During the closing ceremony...

The milk I drank had Miss Moriguchi's...

What Nao told me...it was too terrible.

Moriguchi is a demon.

Nao! We're going to the hospital.

Forget it.

What're you saying!? If you died, I'd...

I'm a murderer.

You are not!

You were just trying to protect your friend, so you took the body, and...

It wasn't a body. She was still breathing.

That's why I threw her in the pool.

S...so she was alive, and...

And you just didn't realise! That's right.

Not really.

She opened her eyes right in front of me.

So I just...

July.

Nobody dared to bully Shuuya anymore.

(Nobody dared to bully Shuuya anymore.)

Don't look! I'm writing a letter!

Huh? To who?

I'm not going to send it or anything.

But it's just...full of my feelings.

Cool.

This is awesome, Shuuya!

All I wanted...

All I wanted was for someone to recognise me.

I don't have a mother, and I've been alone all this time.

I told Shuuya...

...a secret I had kept from everyone else.

That Lunacy girl...is my other side.

I let him see the real me, that I hid from everyone else.

Hey...

Is there anyone you really want to get rid of?

Go home!

Nao, are you there!?

Nothing's going to be solved by holing yourself up in your room!

Don't think you're facing this alone!

I'll help you!

I'll listen to anything you have to say!

Believe in me, Naoki!

You've got to come to the end of year ceremony tomorrow!

Everyone's waiting for you!

Mozuki... Thanks for always coming with me.

Naoki...isn't Naoki anymore.

The gentle Nao that I loved...is gone.

Yoshihiko...Mariko... Goodbye.

Forgive me. I'm going to take Nao with me t...

(...to heaven.)

Nao...

The next day, the end of term ceremony was postponed.

And in the afternoon, a staff meeting was called.

Because Nao...

...killed his mother.

I'm sure it's a shock to you that Nao did a thing like this, but...

The police are wanting to make inquiries.

Mozuki.

You just need to tell the teachers and the police whatever comes to mind.

I know.

Miss... Miss Moriguchi.

I want to ask you once more.

Is life a heavy burden to bear?

No matter whose life it is?

I've collected a range of different medicines.

I planned to use them to commit suicide.

But it's just as easy to take them...

...and mix them into Werther's tea.

Life isn't worth a thing.

I'm sure that's what you thought when you did what you did to Shuuya and Nao.

Though I'm not sure you did anything at all...

I'm actually a little bit afraid.

Though part of me doesn't care...

...whether a creep like Werther lives or dies.

I said whatever came to mind.

That everything Nao did... That him becoming the way he did...

Was all Werther's fault.

Nobody taught me that killing people was wrong.

Where other kids got read picture books and fairy tales,
