...pretty arrogant, huh?

You look like a little brat, but I'll bet you're really some old grandpa.

Cut it out!

Wasn't there something you wanted to ask me?

Ah...oh yeah...

This is Makoto's room.

That's a painting Makoto did in junior school.

It won the gold medal in a contest.

He's meant to be pretty good at drawing, and he's in the art club.

Hmm...

So lemme guess? The first year of middle school?

The third.

Jeez, he's a midget.

Seems he had quite a complex about that himself.

The body you're given...

...is decided by the weight of the sins you committed in your past life.

So what'd I do?

I wonder.

Remembering that is part of your training too.

Bet it was nothing that bad.

How terribly naive...

You think perfectly happy people just kill themselves for no reason?

Ah...

I'm going to give you the...

...basics of the basics that you'll need to complete your duties.

What's that?

A guidebook chronicling the life and times of Makoto Kobayashi.

What...? If you had that, why didn't you pull it out sooner?

Hey, the pages are all blank!

It can't be read by residents of this world.

It's confidential information only for the eyes of people like me.

I bet you're just saying that...

...so you can tell me any old crap you come up with is written there.

What the heck would I have to gain doing something like that?

I'm kidding, I'm kidding. I'll listen.

Is it okay for an angel to hit someone like that...?

Ahaha...

We'll start with his family.

His father is a salaryman with no redeeming features besides being quite nice.

He gets all the worst tasks stuck on him, and does tons of overtime.

But he's still never considered for promotion.

Makoto quickly began to view him with scorn,

and doesn't go to him with his problems.

I think you've had a little too much wine...

As for his mother, recently...

...she's been having an affair with the teacher from her flamenco class.

Eh?

Though it looks like she broke it off after Makoto's suicide attempt.

Mitsuru's top of his class, and doesn't care about anything but himself.

He mocks his brother for not being as smart as him.

And recently they've barely spoken at all.

What's wrong?

Oh, what about his grandmother?

She passed away from illness last year.

She got along well with Makoto...

...but not so well with his mother.

His grandfather died when he was still young.

As for the cause of his suicide... Today is the 20th of October.

He killed himself on the 11th.

And he made his decision to do so on the 10th.

Why the tenth, I hear you ask?

In the trail of misfortune that is Makoto's life, that was the worst day of all!

So...you want to hear more?

You're having fun, huh?
