Who told me?

That story about Martian robots.

You want to hear?

Do it to me.

Me too.

Most men are so fierce.

You're better f or me.

Today was relaxing.

Don't get me wrong.

I'm not as easy as you may think.

What's up?

You're so distant after class today.

It was me who killed Dr. Nakai.

I dated him bef ore college.

An older friend introduced us.

I was asking about this school.

He had a family, but he was kind to me.

But things got wrong,

and I grew apart from him.

He left no will, and no one

knew about us.

I tried to think it wasn't my fault.

My parents were always happy

to see me.

Some funny-looking reporters were

telling us about war and such.

In our house the sun was

always shining.

So after a while...

The fact that Dr. Nakai was dead...

just didn't bother me.

I wonder what it was like f or him.

Harder.

Do it harder.

What's up?

Nothing. I'm okay.

Watch this.

What?

"Bye bye"

Leave it!

I thought I'd get something

from drawing.

Turns out I got nothing.

They look real to me though.

As f or me, I'm not sure if I am 'real'.

It's like as if I am sleeping and dreaming.

So, you liked drawing.

Are you going to be a doctor?

Everyone thought I would be a doctor.

My parents, relatives, even me.

When I dozed off here the other day

I f elt like I'd slept f or a long time.

What?

I'm remembering something else.

I can't quite grasp it.

I wonder what it is.

When you're "there"

can you remember things from "here"?

But if that were the case...

I see.

Look...

I know we have to take things slowly.

But she died in the car crash that day.

Don't worry. It was not your fault.

Her name was Ryoko.

She passed away bef ore you woke up.

The body that I'm dissecting is...

Ryoko's body.

I don't think it can be a coincidence.

I did hear she wanted to leave

her body to science.

Other than that, I don't know.

If what you think is true...

That would be surprising.

Thank you so much.

Why have you come here?

Just go away.

Your parents were very sincere

about their grief.

What I really want to see

is your sincerity.

You were driving when it happened.

I still feel you murdered my daughter.

If you want to mourn her...

...do it when you truly remember her.

I'm starting to remember already.

Right now, at college...

I'm doing my dissection practice.

There is something I need to know.

If you can tell me...

Ryoko is on the dissection table.

I don't quite understand it.

Are you serious?

Well?

Tell me it's not true.

You want to know if it's her?

Right?

You heartless F***!

How the hell should I know?

Just bef ore she died she told us.

Leaving her body to science.

We didn't know you even could.
