Confessions Page #3

In the end, they never found a reason for...

...her to brutally murder her whole family.

But because of that, all sorts of foolish rumours began to spring up...

...and she even won admirers among people her age.

(Tell us who we need to punish!)

The only one who received a harsh punishment...

...was the teacher who told her specific details about various medicines.

All she had to do was write a few remorseful words in a...

...juvenile detention center and she was pronounced rehabilitated.

Even if you kill someone, you're not going to be punished for it.

(Exactly. That's why I did it!)

And there's no way for us to stop these crimes...

For us to stop child murderers.

If you felt like it, you could kill someone with a baseball bat...

...or a nice long kitchen knife...

...or a medicine ball from P.E...

...or even with your bare hands!

And there'd be nobody to stop you.

That hurts...

I'm sorry.

Hurry up, hurry up!

Guess even you wanted to find out who the culprits are, huh?

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I have no intention of telling you their names.

The hell!? That's not fair!

Masami's father was Masayoshi Sakuramiya.

The reason that we had a special sort of funeral at our house...

...was because he wanted to finally hold Manami before she was gone.

The first time Manami was held by her father...

...her soul had already departed.

He confessed to me that his condition had worsened into AIDS.

But in the few months of life he had left...

...I couldn't bring myself to say anything to him.

I believe that along with Manami,

something important inside me died too.

Last week, I went to visit Ms. Takenaka, who had retired.

She gave me a box of Manami's things I had left with her.

And this was in the box.

The pouch I had never bought her,

Where did it come from?

Ms. Takenaka said she found it near Shaggy's kennel.

Shaggy...

The students sometimes drop their things here...

...while they play catch and clean the pool...

I remember it dawning on me that the only punishments children...

...ever have to deal with are a few extra laps, or having to clean the pool...

Don't be stupid! It's not me.

(I know who it is!)

Was Minami really alone at the pool that day?

There are two students responsible.

I'll refer to them as 'A' and 'B'.

'A' is a straight As student. Looking at him, you wouldn't expect him to have any problems at all.

But...there are some fairly unsettling rumours you hear from time to time...

Since he was in junior school, he's been picking up stray cats and dogs...

...and taking them home to kill with his Execution Machine.

Execution Machine?

Some sort of weird tool he made himself.
