[bunniefuu]

Hello. I'm Sachiko Tachibana.

Guess who did this?

You, Sawako! This looks so familiar!

You are annoyingly like your dad!

I have to be sure.

Because my husband

and Kokoro are my everything.

From the height of happiness

to making life hell for her.

An unimaginable living hell.

Call me if anything happens.

Kokoro.

Mommy's leaving. Be a good girl, okay?

See you later.

We'll be waiting.

Did you see what I sent?

Yeah…

JOURNALIST KILLS COLLEAGUE

The day my dad was m*rder*d…

Mr. Kurokawa canceled his seminar.

And the day Mr. Komiyama was k*lled…

it was also canceled.

Her dad definitely knows something.

Gain as much information and proof

from him as possible.

Okay.

He still has an office in that house.

I'll start there.

Multiple mysterious deaths

have been reported in her area lately.

She's still a monster no doubt.

Don't let your guard down

or she'll k*ll you.

I'm not backing down now.

She deserves to rot in hell.

We finally found a suitable babysitter!

Finally! It took a while!

But you've only met her twice, right?

I wouldn't trust her just yet.

Do you think so?

But she's been amazing

and seems so trustworthy…

You're too naive, Rena!

Haven't you heard?

Incidents involving dodgy sitters

are increasing.

She's right, you know.

The first month I hired a sitter,

I asked for help only when

I was working from home.

She's a stranger in your house.

You should be more careful, Rena.

As Rena's manager,

I have to say I feel relieved!

We have five minutes. Let's get ready.

Okay!

Annoying.

Okay!

I have an announcement to make!

You do? What is it, Yuko?

Well, the watches that I've designed…

will be on sale from today!

That's amazing!

Congratulations, Yuko!

Is that the watch?

Yes, it is!

They're available in three colors

and this is the salmon pink one!

It's so cute!

I think this color suits Rena well!

-Here, try it on!

-Are you sure?

-Of course!

-This is exciting!

You can choose

from white, sky blue, and pink.

-But pink is definitely your color!

-How cute.

Everyone, I'll post the product details

after this on our page,

so make sure to check it out!

The number of comments just increased!

"I want the same watch Rena's wearing!'"

"That pink looks so cute!"

CRIMINAL SOCIOLOGY STUDY ROOM

PROFESSOR MINORU KUROKAWA

"It looks so luxurious on Rena!"

Wow, can you believe this?

-This is amazing!

-Amazing!

The viewers are increasing too!

-Oh, you're right!

-Wow!

You look good in anything, Rena!

ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOR

CAUSED BY COGNITIVE DISTORTION

ABNORMAL PSYCHOLOGY

Hey, Yuko.

About that watch, was it--

I'm sorry, Rena!

I asked one of the companies you work with

to be the manufacturer.

I thought so!

I only asked them for advice at first,

but it all just sort of happened.

Wait… Are you mad?

Not at all!

Thank you! I'm glad.

Who are you?

I'm sorry, Ms. Tachibana.

I totally forgot to tell you

that my dad was coming today!

Sorry to startle you!

No, I apologize for being in your office.

I couldn't find some of the baby goods

so I was looking in all the rooms.

Oh, are you sleepy?

Let me introduce him properly.

Ms. Tachibana, this is my dad.

We used to live here just the two of us

after my mom passed away.

So he sometimes comes over

to get some stuff and to see Kokoro.

There, there…

It's easy to lie on your resume.

Even if she is a babysitter,

she's still a stranger.

-Be a bit more cautious…

-Looks like it's too late…

-Makoto's going to be sad again.

-Are you listening?

Dad…

can you get that?

You worry too much.

If she becomes an inconvenience,

we can cut her loose.

In terms of Ms. Tachibana,

I already have a plan.

More importantly, Dad,

I need your help.

Ms. Tachibana! I'm sorry…

This is sudden,

but we decided to set up

a security camera.

-Just in case.

-Yes.

It's just a precautionary method

for our own safety.

Is that okay with you, Ms. Tachibana?

No problem at all.

It makes sense for you to worry

about a complete stranger

looking after your precious baby.

Her dad doesn't seem to trust me.

How was the office? Any clues?

No, only books and papers

on criminal psychology and sociology.

I need to change my strategy.

I'm glad they're selling well!

Oh no, please!

It was all thanks to you!

What?

A meeting?

Where?

I am a housewife, you know?

If I keep going home late,

I'll get in trouble with my husband!

What? She was in an accident?

Yes…

I'll come and see her

as soon as she's conscious!

Stay positive, okay?

Goodbye.

Aw man…

What a shame! She's not dead!

Oh, well…

Dad.

Thanks for the car!

Who's that? She's gorgeous!

Wow, she's pretty…

Thanks. I'll be over here.

Thank you.

Welcome!

PROFESSOR MINORU KUROKAWA

What do you want to have for lunch?

It's your turn to decide.

RESEARCH NOTES

APRIL 3, 2005 - JUNE 11, 2007

-Professor.

-Yes?

I want to ask for your help

with something I'm struggling

to understand.

CUT OFF PIGEONS' WINGS WITH SCISSORS

TRIED TO MAKE HER FRIEND EAT SAND

PUSHED AN OLD LADY ONTO RAILROAD TRACKS

SHE SAYS SHE WANTED TO SEE

A PERSON GET RUN OVER BY A TRAIN

You…

Do you think you can get away with

doing something like this?!

Professor Kurokawa…

do you know what it smells like

when a person gets burnt alive?

What?

The truth is

it doesn't smell that different

from meat or fish being cooked.

That's why Rena…

didn't feel any guilt

when she left me to die in that fire.

-Are you--

-But…

I wasn't just a piece of meat.

I was alive.

I had a life.

Sawako Bando…

A high schooler aspiring to be a pianist.

Sadly, she didn't have many friends.

She loved summer vegetable curry

and hated gym class.

Her favorite thing was

playing board games with her parents.

She dreamed that…

one day, she'd be a mother

just like her mom.

Just a normal girl…

Are you really…

Sawako Bando?

Why are you doing this?

I need you to admit…

that your daughter, Rena Hanai

is the one who m*rder*d my father

and his colleague.

Don't be absurd.

Hey! Stop that!

Stop it!

Don't do this! Please!

Do you admit it or not?

Fine!

I'll talk! Just don't k*ll me!

It was Rena…

Rena k*lled your father and his colleague!

And you, Professor Kurokawa?

I…

helped her.

And her motive?

Why did she k*ll them?

I honestly don't know!

I want to know why, too!

I did what I could purely for her.

You wouldn't understand…

what I had to go through!

I'm done…

This couldn't go on.

I'm actually relieved.

Thanks to you…

I'll finally be free from her.

Just… k*ll me.

You're not the victim here!

Aren't you forgetting something?

You are her parent and her accomplice!

"k*ll me"?

Your dying doesn't pay for your sins!

Not even close!

You'll never know…

what I had to go through

to stay alive after that!

Ms. Bando…

can you see me?

When I regained consciousness,

I wished I was dead.

The excruciating pain and grief.

My dad was m*rder*d.

My best friend's betrayal.

Being called a m*rder*r.

And on top of that,

my mom's suicide.

TO SAWAKO

I will never forgive you.

I will do anything

to make Rena's life hell for her.

The girl who is thought to be the suspect

of the m*rder incident

at Misaki Gakuen High School

has run away from the hospital

and it now appears

that she has k*lled herself.

SUICIDE

It was two days ago…

After I faked my death…

Look to the right.

…I had reconstructive surgery

and changed my name.

I lived through hell…

just to get to this moment.

To confront

you and Rena.

The true culprit

of your dad and his colleagues' m*rder

was Rena…

and me.

I don't know the motive.

Dad, Mom,

I got all the evidence I needed.

But…

I won't report it yet.

My revenge has only just begun.

I'll destroy what's precious to her.

Her everything…

Kokoro.

Are you Ms. Tachibana?

Nice to meet you.

I'm Rena's husband, Makoto.

Nice to meet you!

I was just about to leave, so goodbye.

Excuse me…

have we ever met before?

I can do this.

Rena! Something's happened!

How did this happen?

She's unstoppable…

Don't you ever forgive me for this, okay?
