Chapter 151
[side text: "If this, too, is hitsuzen... I think I have to meet with her, and soon." ...Will Watanuki's feelings reach her?!]
People: There's some kind of ruckus over in G-Studio!
[sFX: rustle, rustle]
People: G... What were they shooting in there? // It was that spirit-medium show. // Ahh... / With that kid medium, she had some weird name...
[sFX: dash // DASH]
Watanuki: (Kohane-chan...!!!)

2
Woman: Wh... / What... are you saying...?
[sFX: grab]

3
Kohane: The man in that photo... // ...is inside the walls of your own home. // ...You killed him.

4
[sFX: recoil]
[TN: The woman is doing some general strangled screaming. I hate putting that sort of thing into text. Scanlators can render it how they like.]

5
[TN: And again, strangled screaming collapsing into sobbing]
[sFX: tremble]
[sFX: glance]
[sign: Just keep going!]
Presenter: Ahh... / Kohane-san. // What was that about your mother...?
Kohane: My mother told me. / She said...
Mother: W -
[sFX: step]
Mother: Wait a moment -
Kohane: "I don't care if it's a lie".

6
Presenter: And by that...
[sFX: mutter / mutter (audience muttering through these two frames, I think)]
Presenter: She - she meant, your mediation with the spirits?
Kohane: ...Yes. // Right? // ...Mother.
Guy: Get visuals on the mother.
OtherGuy: Huh? / But -
Guy: Come on! / Just act like your hand slipped or something, get the camera on the mother!
[sFX: turn]
Mother: Wh - // What are you saying...? / ...I......

7
Kohane: You said it, didn't you?
Presenter: Did you... / Did you really... say that? // Did you tell a little girl like this... // ...to lie to the world? // In which case... / ...All of Kohane-san's seances up until now...

8
[sFX: mutter, mutter]
Kohane: ......
Audience: What the hell?
[sFX: mutter]
Audience: That's just low...
Mother: Ahhh... // Ahhhhh......
Audience: So what, you're saying it's all been a lie this whole time?
[sFX: mutter, mutter]
Audience: Huh... / But didn't she get it right sometimes...? // She probably just looked into it beforehand, don't you think?

9
[sFX: mutter, mutter]
Presenter: So that's how it was... / It must have taken a lot of courage to say that.
Medium: Did you get these wounds because of all this? / You poor thing...
[sFX: mutter, mutter // mutter / mutter]

10
Medium: Don't tell me...
Guy: Get a closer shot of the mother!
Medium: Your own mother did this to you...?!
[sFX: well, it's the same muttering noise, but when it's this big, I'd say it's more like a roar]

11
Kohane: No. // My mother never touches me.
Medium: Never touches you...? / But isn't she supposed to be your parent?
Presenter: So she isn't even bringing the child up properly...
Mother: YOU'RE WRONG!!! // I - // I make sure she has food, and clothes... // I always...!

12
Kohane: Yes. // But you never made the food yourself, never helped me put the clothes on. // You said, didn't you?
[sFX: mutter, mutter]
Kohane: That you always tried to make sure I never touched anything unclean, / never got too near anything unclean.
Mother: Th - that's right! // That's why I always - !!
Kohane: Well, then... // Is the reason you never came too close to me...

13
Kohane: ...because you thought... // ...that you yourself weren't a "clean" person?

14
[sFX: SLAP]
[sFX: DASH]
Watanuki: KOHANE-CHAN!!
[side text: Kohane's resolution to put an end to "everything"... she brings out all of her mother's sins!! Can you face up to this tragedy, Watanuki?!]
