Confessions Page #6

---

To keep everything clean...

I'm gonna die too!

Yet...I'm still alive.

(Confession:
Naoki Shimomura)

I don't think it's fully dawned on me yet.

I stink...

But this is proof that I'm alive.

My teeth... My hair... My nails... This smell...

And the fact that I'm still hungry.

I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die!

I'm going to die... I'm only thirteen...

Moriguchi's going to kill me!

I still haven't kissed anyone...or had sex...

Why?

Because you're worthless.

I am not! I'm...

You're a good boy, Nao.

That's right, huh Mom?

Exercise, study...

Killing people.

You can do anything if you put your mind to it.

I'm sorry, Nao.

Why?

Because you're worthless.

Shut up!

I'm sorry. It's my fault. I didn't raise you right...

Worthless.

The boy's actions and state of mind are yet...

to be disclosed, but...

According to his lawyer, he accepted the verdict calmly.

(Miss Moriguchi, is life...)

Even though he loved his mom, he...

Just like you.

Nothing.

What's just like me?

You're scaring me, Shuuya.

What the hell do you know about me?

I know everything.

You were just...a way to pass the time.

Piss off.

Thinking you're so hot because you're Lunacy.

Playing at being a psychopath.

And gathering up this sh*t.

Lunacy is your other side? The f*** is that supposed to mean?

Entertaining yourself with stupid daydreams.

I'm not buying it.

Shuuya.

You have the guts to kill anyone, right?

Then drink this sh*t yourself and die.

Oedipus complex.

You're nothing more...

Than a little baby who's spent his whole life crying for a mother who left him.

You don't even have the guts to just go and see her.

You're scared, right? That if you go see her, she'll push you away.

You don't want to think that she didn't wa...

Miss Moriguchi...

That day, I came across you by chance...

And I...

There was no blood in the milk, was there?

There's no way you'd...

...have the guts to do something like that.

I've been thinking that this whole time.

I don't even really know anymore.

I don't care if that Werther creep dies.

It seems Mr. Terada will be taking some time away from work.

Because Naoki ended up...

It was all Werther's fa...!

I'm responsible.

I've been meeting with Mr. Terada every now and then.

He's very serious about his job...and very na?ve...

A textbook Sakuramiya fan.

So I decided to tell him that Manami's deceased father...

...was none other than Sakuramiya himself.

I strung him along, and used him...

...to make them suffer.

Of course I didn't tell him why Manami died, but...

He was good enough to take my advice to heart.

To make home visits to Naoki.

To not be discouraged, even if he wasn't greeted warmly.

To be sure to go at least once a week.

To call out to him, even if the door was shut in his face.

I told him that...

...Sakuramiya would have done the same.

As for Shuuya being bullied...

...I suggested fabricating a message from someone in the class.

I told him the students would find it easier that way.

I told him precisely because...

...I knew it would only make things worse.

I was so disappointed to hear he wasn't being bullied anymore.

I thought it best to surround him with hostile classmates...

...until either he killed himself, or one of them did it for him.

I guess you're a nicer bunch than I thought.

Miss...

Here you go.

Thank you.

If you mix that blood into their milk,

you'll only be repaying hatred with hatred.

And your mind will never be at ease.

They're sure to see the error of their ways one day.

Let's believe in them.

For in their redemption lies your recovery.

That's what Sakuramiya told me.

He always knew just what to say.

But...

I told them I did it anyway.

Even had I done it,

the chance of them being infected was almost zero.

And even if they somehow were infected,

AIDS is no longer the death sentence it used to be.

Its progress can be slowed through modern medicine.

If only we had found Sakuramiya's cancer sooner...

...maybe he might have survived that too.

But they didn't know any of that.

And just hearing 'HIV' sent them into a panic.

A sea of confused, foolish faces.

Miss...

I lost my family.

Please don't hurt Shuuya...

I won't forgive him.

What about if I died? Would you care?

Of course.

He's just lonely.

He just wants his mom...to look at him again.

He just wants to be acknowledged by the mother who threw him away.

And...

Miss... Is life...

It's light as can be.

Ridiculous...

Her body was still warm. It creeped me out.

So I stuck her in the fridge.

I only killed another kid my age.

So juvenile law is on my side.

Nobody's going to punish me for it.

How dull...

When I started making it, I actually had no idea what to use it for.

Three days ago.

Assistant Professor Yasaka.

It was from my mother!

She wanted to meet me.

Before I knew it, I was walking to the university.

The third research lab of the electrical engineering department.

The door swung open, and there she was. I wondered if she'd

burst into tears and embrace me if I called out to her. But I decided against it.

What I wanted her to embrace wasn't my body, but something bigger.

I wanted her to acknowledge my talent.

To see the legacy I left to the world.

I left the university.

To fulfill my destiny.

I decided where to use my bomb.

A massacre is about to unfold.

And this time my audience won't just be one idiot like Shimomura,

but everyone who visits this site.

I pray that news of my death, and of the...

...bloody page I am about to write into history...

...will find her. That my feelings will reach her.

I want...my mother to know what I've done.

!?There are men in existence who can, or more accurately, who have...

...an absolute right to commit all kinds of wicked and criminal acts. For them...!?

For me...

!?...to a certain extent, laws do not exist.!?

This is the justification cited by the protagonist of Crime and Punishment,

Raskolnikoff, after he murders his wife.

But I believe...

That life is... That every life is important.

That every life is beautiful.

There isn't a single life in this world that can simply be cast away!

Just kidding...

Shuu, this is your mommy.

I'm so sorry for leaving you alone this whole time.

Who the hell is this?

It's been a while...It's Moriguchi.

I picked up the little present you left in the gymnasium.

It was the feeble work of a feeble mind.

I had no problem disarming it.

Though you helped me out blabbing all about it on that website of...

Shut up!

Not while I still have so much to say.

I thought about how to take revenge on you...

And even if I killed you, you don't seem to especially value...

your own life.

I've been checking your site this whole...

time, wondering if there's no better way to punish you.

I saw that delightful little love letter you wrote to your mom.

But I won't have you lying to so many people.

As your former teacher, I must insist...

...on correcting your work one last time.
