Confessions Page #5

---

my Mum taught me Ohm's law,

and Norton's theorum. She only ever talked about electronics.

She'd break cute toys to pieces,

and show me how they worked.

Mom dreamed of becoming a promising researcher in electrical engineering.

She married the most unspectacular person you could imagine...

...and gave birth to me.

In order to raise me,

Mom threw away her career as a researcher, and cast aside a shining future.

You're going to be a genius.

Because you've got my blood in your veins.

But she soon came to regret that decision.

And to hate me for it.

Why don't you get it? Why can't you even do something like this!?

If only you weren't here.

If only I wasn't here.

I'm sorry...

I'm sorry... I'm sorry...

What're you doing?

My dad couldn't stand the way she treated me, and divorced her.

And Mom decided to go back to her dream of being a researcher.

Of course, that meant leaving me behind.

The only things she left me were...

These are all wonderful books that have had a big impact on me.

I'm sure they'll be useful to you further down the line.

...a pile of books, and a few words.

You've got the same blood as me.

The same talent flows in your veins.

See you around.

As she left, I heard...

...the sound of something important to me disappearing.

(Confession:
Shuuya Watanabe)

Pop...

Everyone will die.

Want a drink too?

Including me.

My entire world will...

I planted a bomb in the school.

The detonator is tied to the dial button on my phone.

A piece I wrote on the topic of 'Life' during my first term...

...won a prefectural competition.

And come tomorrow's start of term ceremony.

I'll be standing in front of every student in the school reading it.

Realise the importance of life!

I'll never forget the words of Miss Moriguchi, who told me that.

They were words of truth, from a woman...

...who had lost her darling daughter.

When I've finished my speech, I'll trigger the detonator.

And I'll be blown to pieces, along with all the idiots sitting in front of me.

The media will be all over it, of course.

But it'd be bothersome for them to misrepresent me,

or fill in the blanks in my story themselves.

So I'm leaving my last will and testament...on this website.

The year after he divorced my mom, Dad got remarried.

In perfect accordance with natural law...

...it was a union of two morons...

...so their child was just as stupid.

Your dad and I have been thinking...

...that maybe we could turn the storehouse into a study room for you.

The baby will be crying everyday, and...

it would be good for you not to be disturbed.

I read the books Mom left me every day.

I could feel her blood burning in my veins.

I wanted to use the talents she had left me.

The morons were happier to keep...

me out of sight. So I shut myself away like...

some sort of monster.

What's this?

A backwards clock.

Idiots who only met up to uncensor porn movies...

...couldn't hope to understand my genius.

(Einstein's Laboratory)

First I set up a website.

Then I visited the page of my mom's prestigious university,

and sent them the address.

(Here's a kid genius who's really into electrical engineering.)

(He's posting some pretty amazing stuff!)

I thought maybe Mom might see it.

But...

(0 comments)

It pissed me off that whenever I posted stupid junk...

(Execution Machine)

(181 comments)

Yoshikazu Seguchi.

I was shocked

to find his name among the judges.

A professor who had inspired Mom. Who she had looked up to more than anyone.

I wanted to show him my inventions.

It was the perfect stage to demonstrate the talents Mom had left me.

If my inventions were just recognised on a big stage...

...then surely my mom would hear word of it too.

I tested my invention on our homeroom teacher...

...with pleasing results.

And as expected, took first prize. But...

(Lunacy Incident)

(Junior high student murders family of four)

A student of a city public school is being held under suspicion...

...of murdering four members of her family.

...the world didn't even blink an eye.

Nobody noticed. Not even Mom.

I had to do something bigger. Something the media couldn't ignore.

A murder.

A murder using the very gifts that...

...my mom had left me.

I didn't care who I killed.

But I needed a helper.

Someone too stupid to notice what I was thinking.

Someone who would do as they were told.

Who would spread the word of my murder like wildfire.

An idiot among idiots.

I found him.

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

Don't worry about me trying to drag you into it.

I never thought of you as a friend anyway.

You're pathetic, untalented...

...and utterly worthless.

All I did was tell someone stupid that they were stupid.

So why'd he go and...

(Four year old girl drowns in pool accident)

...mess everything up?

I wanted to be friends...

With you...

I didn't have any friends.

Wanna watch a video together or something?

I've been wanting to talk to you for a while.

Nobody who paid me any attention at all...

You seem different to all those other idiots.

Sort of easy-going. Like a grown up.

Nobody had ever acknowledged me before.

So I chose a target like you asked.

How about Moriguchi's daughter?

Why Manami?

Why did Manami have to die?

I wonder...

I don't even remember anymore.

I just did what I was told.

I scouted around the pool.

But you...

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

He...

He just wanted to kill someone.

But he failed.

She was alive.

She was still breathing.

...and utterly worthless.

I'm worthless?

He wanted to kill someone and screwed up!

He's the worthless one!

Tough luck!

Looks like I'll do what he never did!

Why the hell did you do that!?

If you wanna spread rumours, do it yourself.

Pop.

A month passed, and finally the dumb teacher put two and two together.

I'm not going to debate the police's conclusion.

God damn it...

It wasn't simply the pouch that killed her.

Even taking into account that she was only four, it can't deliver enough of a shock to stop someone's heart.

This is f***ing ridiculous...

I mixed a little something into the cartons of milk the two of them were drinking.

The HIV-contaminated blood of Masayoshi Sakuramiya.

Moriguchi, you're the best.

A life-threatening illness is just what I need!

My stupid dad'll have to let Mom know about this!

She'll definitely agree to meet me!

She'll meet me, even if it's difficult for her.

I'll meet Mom...

She'll look out for me...

And I'll show her just what she taught me!

Pop.

Everything after that was just a way of burning time.

My smiles...

My tears...

This and that...

All of it.

Even living...

They were all just boring ways to pass the time.

(That day, I met Miss Moriguchi by chance...)

How did he...? That talentless...

Worthless...

It's all Moriguchi's fault.

She wanted me dead, and even sent spies here.

But Mom just kept bad mouthing her.

That's why she's dead.

Even though I worked so hard to not infect her...
