6: ...Me, Masato, and Take-bo were all in the facility together.

1: Those two innocent boys would always stare at me with light-filled eyes, despite the fact that I tried to escape once every four days.
2: Hey, how was it?!
3: How far did you get yesterday!!?
4: Yesterday I made it to West Shinjuku.
5: A toilet cricket!!
6: Then I saw Gou Hiromi acting like a squirrel around the station.
7: And after that I saw a 2m-long grasshopper.
8: A-awesome!
9: They were entranced by my stories.
10: Then finally, all three of us decided to escape.
11: hey, hey, where are we going?
12: Where are we going, Itou-kun?!
13: Just follow me, I'll take you both to Heaven!!

1: It ended up being Hell, though...and we began our war with hunger.
2: ...I'm...gonna go get some water...
3: ...hey...Masato.
4: Eh?

213)
1: Let's eat Take-bo!
2: I'll give you his liver, so can I have his thighs?

4: Then when I woke up the next morning, they were gone...
5: They ran away...and left me behind...

7: Ahh, I want one toooo!
8: ...we all began at the same point.

3: ...and then...
4: ...the last one is...
5: Nnnnnnnnnnnnnn~

216)
1: B...but it's not fair to compare Itokin to that Take-bo guy.
2: Then what about the other guy?! He worked hard and found happiness, didn't he?!
3: I'm sure of it! That smile was a genuine one!!
4: It was the face of a man who's won at something and is overflowing with confidence!!
5: Let's see you laugh, huh?! What kind of a smile do you have!!?

3: ...that's all there is to it.
4: ...I'm fine with this, though.
5: "Jackoff King of the Barbershop"...
6: Doesn't sound like such a bad life to me...

2: ...the ultimate dream...
3: Hmmmmmm...it's gotta be...
