我儘。
Selfishness.
意固地。
Obstinacy.
Pride.
Selfishness.
To call it those may be right. But I do not want to lie. Not in my work, nor to myself.

大西雅雄は高校在学中よりクライミングを始め大学では山岳部に在籍しエルキャピタントランゴネームレスタワー登攀に成功し
Oonishi's Friend: Oonishi Masao started climbing when he was enrolled in high school. He entered into the mountaineering club in college and successfully scaled El Capitan and the Trango Nameless Tower.
卒業後は南米フィッツロイ冬季新ルート初登攀ガッシャブルムIV峰東壁新ルート初登攀などの輝かしい実績を残しました
After graduation he was the first to climb a new route in South America's Fitzroy, the first to climb a new route on Gasherbrum IV's East Face and achieve other glorious accomplishments.
Flag: Climbing Spirit
Oonishi's Friend:
彼は日本有数のクライマーであり今後の期待を一身に背負っていた事は間違いありません。
As a prominent climber of Japan, you wouldn't have been wrong to place all your hopes on him.
Page 8:
Oonishi's Friend: I would never have dreamed that you would, this quickly, on a mountain this nearby,
lose your life...
Someday I'll travel to that side, too.
And then I'll climb with you again, Oonishi!!
People: Uu...

People: That kid who went off on his own to climb Yatsugatake who they said was a student...
Even though a person died because of him... why isn't he crying even a single tear?
I it in a newspaper, but
it seems there was even one mountain incident before, like he's a problem child.
Really?
I guess because Oonishi has such a strong sense of responsibility, he couldn't just leave the kid alone.
Because that kind of guy with no common sense showed up, he's done with mountains forever.
Miyamoto: ......
Mori.
Got a second?
Page 11:
Miyamoto: I just quit school.
Mori: EH?
Miyamoto: Oonishi-san's gone now, too.
I don't have any reason to stay here in Japan anymore.
So I'm going to France.
Page 12:
Miyamoto: I'll get a job there for a while
and take on those rocks from one side to the other.
And if it doesn't go well, maybe I'll setup permanent residence there.
So what're you gonna do?
Well, from the get go, since something like that happened I wouldn't be surprise.
You gonna quit? Climbing?
I don't think we'll meet again, so
I just wanted to tell you that much.
SFX: Zah
SFX: Nih

Miymaoto: See ya.
[Exit Miyamoto]
Kurosawa: Send.
Okay, sent to press...!!
お前の代わり務まる
Oonishi... I don't know if I'm fit to take your place, but
Because as a journalist, this is all the backup support I can give.
Bartender: Shall I make something for you?
Kurosawa: Naw... I brought my own bottle.
Bartender: Eh? Ah, I see.
Page 14:
Bartender: What are you doing, Kurosawa-san!?

Nurse: Yes. The patient in room 203.
拒否
No matter how many times he comes, his family refuses to see him.
経緯
I don't know the whole story, but it seems unfortunate, so I've secretly let him in.
