M: Now then, please tell us all you can about the witness, Rudou Reiji's past.

130)
Chapter III 3 - Youko
Y: I was in the same class as him...Rudou-kun...for three years in middle school.
Y: At the time, he was quiet and a bit weak, and was often the target of bullies.
G: Kyaaaa!
G: How cruel!
G: Gross!
R(2b): It looks like the anaesthesia isn't working...it's throbbing...

131)
T: Quiet, everyone!
T: This is another important part of your studies! Take it seriously!
G: This one's got some sexy thighs!
G: Hee hee hee...
G: Ah...I cut too deeply!
P(2b): Yo, Rudou! You got some more bread again today?
P(2b): Poor thing...he doesn't have a mom to pack lunches for him!
P(2b): Eating bread every day isn't very healthy! You should work on getting some animal proteins once in a while!
P: Yeah, yeah!
P: Here, eat this!

132)
P: Don't be shy.
P: C'mon!
G: There they go again...
G: Poor Rudou-kun...
T: What are you doing?!
T: We're in the middle of class here! Sit back down in your seats!
P: Hey, this ain't none of your business, miss...
P(2b): If this class is so important, why aren't you dissecting them as well, huh? I'm sure you could still learn a thing or two!
Y: Stop it, you guys!
G: Youko! Stay out of it!

133)
P: No matter how smart you may be, that pale face of yours will keep you from being popular with the girls!
P: Here, open up and say aaaah...
sfx: gabuh!
P: Ahh?!

134)
sfx: bari bari
sfx: buchih!
P: Kyaaaaah!
P(2): Gegeh?! H...he really ate it...
P: Oeeeehhhhh!
P: Th-that's so gross!
P: He finally must have gone crazy!

135)
G: whisper whisper
P(2b): Hey...is it true that you really ate a frog?!
P: Tell me what it tasted like!
P: Hey, snake boy! Don't forget tonight's dinner!
sfx: bitan!
F: gekoh!
sfx: wahahahaha
Y: Rudou-kun...

136)
sfx: ding dong ding dong
Y: Rudou-kun, here...
Y(2b): I made enough for two, so...would you like to eat with me?
R: Kamizono-kun...
Y(2b): Sorry...I know it's none of my business...
R: Thank you...
P: Tch!

137)
R(2b): When I was 10, my dad died in an accident...and then, before even waiting for a year, my mom found a new man and disappeared.
R: Right now my grandfather on my mother's side is looking after me...but they just treat me like a huge burden...
Y: So that's it...
Y: It really must be hard for you.
R(2b): I didn't intend to talk to you about this, though. The truth is, there's something I want to ask you...
Y: Eh?
R(2b): Are the rumors true? Are you really going out with that Hamamoto guy...?
R(2b): Rumor is a soft way to put it...it's pretty much a half-truth now! Are you really going out with him after all?!
Y: Who cares whether I am or not...?

138)
R(2b): I do! I have feelings for you too!
R: Don't go out with him!
R: You probably don't know, but he's actually controlling all the bullies in our class from behind the scenes!
R: He's a bad person from the inside out!
R: You're being tricked! That guy's human trash!!
Y: Stop it, Rudou-kun!
Y: I didn't think you were the kind of person to speak so biasedly like that...
R: I was just thinking of your safety...
Y: Well it's none of your business!

139)
R: Kamizono-kun!
P: Hey, snake boy...

140)
P: Wait!

141)
P: Heheheh...
P: Unless you want this to happen again, you'd better not go harrasssing the boss's girl again.
P: Got it?!
G: Uuu...!

142)
P: What's wrong...?
P: He's laughing...
P(2b): What a creep...those eyes aren't human...
P: That's why he's the snake boy!
P(2b): Heheheh...we'd better stop. He's starting to look at us with those snake eyes like we're a bunch of frogs...
P: C'mon, let's beat it.
R: Youko...
R: I won't let anyone else...
R: have her...

143)
bottle: Chloroform
sfx: gara gara
H: Youko...you here?

144)
H: Youko...are you hiding from me?
H: What a weirdo...you're the one that called me out here in the first place...
H: Uu...?!
H: Uuu...
R: Fufufu...

145)
R: I've always wanted to be a pathologist...
R: There's a theme that many philosophers and poets have written about pondered throughout the ages...
R: The mysterious of human "death" that these men lawfully expose...
R: There is one impossible theme for pathologists, however...
R: The very theme I am about to expose through this autospy -- the mysterious of human "life"...
R: Just like the executioners in Auschwitz...
R: At this moment, I will be able to fully understand their excitement...
sfx: pih

146)
T(2b): Hey, you! What are you doing in here?!
Y: Rudou-kun was sent to a penitentiary.
Y: Luckily, the wounds on Hamamoto-kun weren't critical, and he was saved...
Y: I failed to heed Rudou-kun's warning, though...
Y: And before I knew it, I was aborting Hamamoto-kun's baby within me...leaving a critical wound on my own heart.

147)
Y: The only thing that existed to comfort me were the daily letters I received from that penitentiary.
letter: Kamizono Youko-sama
Y: The only one who still loved me dearly, after the way I turned out...
Y: As a result, I came to earnestly anticipate Rudou-kun's return.
Y: Having become hysterical over the results of the problem that happened with Hamamoto-kun, my parents immediately sent all the letters back...
sfx: zaaaah!
sfx: basha!
Y: On the contrary, however, that ended up bringing on an even worse result...

148)
sfx: doshaaaa
sfx: don
sfx: don
sfx: don
sign: Kamizono

149)
R: Open up, please!
R(2b): I need to see Youko-san! Please, open up!
F: Y...you're...?!
F: Did you escape?!
F: You think I'd let a criminal meet with my daughter?!
F(2b): Hurry up and get out of here! I'm gonna call the police!
Y: Rudou-kun!
F: Get back in there!

150)
F: Don't ever send another letter here, ever!
F: If you care anything about my daughter's future, then never come here again!!
sfx: pishah!
R: Youkooooooooooo!!
