1. I thought I could give her back...
2. But that was before I heard the truth...
3. To her girl- friend...
4. Come to think of it, when I met her girl- friend ...
5. Back then, I still thought ...
6. But think- ing about it...
7. I said ...
8. If she was willing to outwait the prison sen- tence, maybe I could have given her back...
9. "Anyway, I can't give her back..."
10. "I won't apolo- gize..."
Loading…Loading…
1. I could have... I could have given her back...
2. To her girl-friend, to her family...
3. "!"
4. Crap... It opened up again.
Loading…Loading…
1. Those aren't the problem ...
2. "Do you know"
3. "Her girl- friend?"
4. Being alone...
5. I thought she was alone
6. Like me ...
7. I should have given her back right away...
8. I should never have taken that bath...
9. Hurry and heal damn it...
10. "Ow ..."
11. Then I wouldn't have known.
12. Before I real- ized we live in differ- ent worlds.
13. "It wasn't suicide."
14. Living in differ- ent worlds ...
2. "Cruel?"
3. "And now you say she's a stranger to you? Then keep your mouth shut."
4. It's not that I don't want to work things through with her.
5. But
6. "We..."
7. Even if I tried, I don't think I could handle her.
8. "But if you want to work things through with her,"
9. "Then tell her."
10. "It... Was suicide..."
1. She was hurting.
2. So I'm not gonna try anymore... Whether she committed suicide or not, the truth is...
3. ...always end up antagonizing each other when we try.
4. "Didn't resent you... And forgave you... Would you..."
5. "You threw your life away so casually..."
6. "...but if she..."
7. "Be able to bear the weight of your crime?"
8. "You would..."
9. "But if you forgave me..."
10. "I ruined your life,"
11. "I..."
1. If I'm never forgiven...
2. It's easier to do penance each day in exchange for losing a chance at forgiveness.
3. "So you're saying..."
4. Rob me of my penance...
5. "...you'd never be able to live with her?"
6. "Then..."
7. If your forgiveness would make everything ok, then I would never be able to make up for it.
8. I'm getting off lightly, aren't I? Regret with room for penance, rather than regret with no space to apologize.
9. Than to be forgiven and lose a place to keep my guilt.
10. Then it's better to be unforgiven and still have a space for my penance
11. If it's something that can never be taken back,
12. It's easier, isn't it? To rely on my own capacity to blame myself for my foolishness, rather than accept forgiveness based on someone else's magnanimity.
1. "Yes."
2. All I can do...
3. Is keep apologizing in my heart until the day I die.
1. So... Which would you prefer?
2. Living the rest of your life with the acceptance that she died hating you,
3. Or being forever burdened with the weight of the knowledge that she had forgiven you.
4. Tell me...
5. Which is easier?
6. A life where you accept the fact of her accidental death, knowing that you were forgiven before you could apologize and knowing the day would never come when you could beg for forgiveness...
7. Or the daily task of regretting her suicide as you continue to apologize, with no hope of forgiveness.
1. "Sorry."
2. "It was suicide."
3. "Consider this an act of compassion."
1. "And..."
2. "So you still have space for your regret and guilt..."
3. It's not like she'll ever come home anyway.
4. "!"
5. "!"
6. "!"
1. "About what she's going to do now."
2. "What were you talking about?"
3. "Oh..."
4. "You're feeling up to chatting?"
5. You and I...
6. It's not like
7. After all
8. "So?"
9. "What now?"
1. Can ever truly come together.
2. "Well..."
3. "I..."
5. "... Am 100% onboard"
6. ".... ...."
1. "And I..."
2. "Am 100% opposed to you instigating this murder."
3. "I'll give you back to the family who can give you what you need."
4. "Of course."
5. "... With her turning herself in."
6. "After all you did, I refuse to allow you a say in whether she turns herself in or not."
1. "Yet you're doing just that."
2. "I said I wouldn't stick my nose in again."
3. "Yes."
4. "Yes."
5. "You're one stubborn bitch!"
6. "..."
1. "That's fine."
2. "You made a mess of someone's life and you don't even care. I can't forgive that."
3. "What!?"
4. "How can you say such horrible things!? My sister threw her life away for you, she's a nice person, she'd never curse anyone!"
5. "Don't make the mistake of thinking everyone's just like you!"
6. "She'll probably spend the rest of her life cursing me, too,"
7. "And I have no intention of begging her forgiveness."
1. What I overheard her saying
2. ""I wish you'd died instead of your husband.""
3. When we were staying together in that hotel.
4. ".... !?"
5. "??"
6. "That's..."
7. ""I could have been happy if I'd never met you.""
8. "!?"
1. "Give me a fucking break!!!"
2. "She'd never say something like that!!"
3. "... ..."
1. "...."
2. "I thought it was to be expected."
3. "No wonder she thought "I could have been happy if I'd never met you.""
4. "..."
5. "...."
6. "She killed someone for no personal gain...and then she didn't get anything for it..."
7. "Though..."
1. Considering she still has a family to go home to even after committing murder, I don't think she's particularly unhappy even now.
2. "!!"
3. "What are you doing!? Stop it!"
4. "You shut up!!"
5. "I don't want to hear"
6. "Any more of your bullshit!!"
7. "!"
1. "...."
2. "What are you doing?"
3. "That's enough, let go of her."
4. "What are you doing!? What!? What's going on!?"
5. "Hey, hey, hey, hey, brother!!"
6. "..."
7. "You're always picking fights..."
8. "Jeez ..."
9. "What are you all doing here anyway?"
10. "What happened while I was sleeping ??"
1. "Why are you protecting her!?"
2. "Come on!! How can you be so close to her and not see the kind of person she really is?"
3. "Didn't you hear her!?"
4. "Huh? Hear what?"
5. "...."
6. "Ugh... Jeez..."
7. "She still doesn't understand your worth or the weight of what you did for her!"
8. "This woman's not worth throwing your life away for!!"
1. "Brother..."
2. "The thing is..."
3. ".... ...."
4. "Yeah.. Maybe she's not worth throwing my life away for."
5. "But..."
6. "I just really, really..."
1. "... Pity her."
3. ".... ...."
4. ".... ...."
1. "Why was she even born?"
2. "Unloved by her parents and her husband, abused for 30 years..."
3. "I mean, come on."
4. "Don't you take one look at her body"
5. "Did you see those bruises?"
6. "If it were me, I wouldn't have the strength to keep living."
7. "And wonder why she's even still alive?"
