b3) That's right... // Back then we still cared if the stars in the sky were real or fake.
b4) Kyou-chan, did you know...
b5) that when a contractor dies, a star falls?
b6) Don't you think it's wonderful? // No matter what kind of lonely death they might have,
b7) someone will notice it.
b8) The reason I kept doing volleyball, // and the reason I put so much work into jumping higher than anyone else,
b9) Is probably because I wanted someone to notice me.

page 5

b1) Like, "Hey, I'm here!"

b4) Do you know how long he and I... Daisuke and I... // We're relatives, so I was keeping it a secret.
b5) You're... related?
b6) He kept begging me to keep quiet about what he's doing because, // if there was a problem before we got married, my parents would be sad!
b7) The same with today! // My calling you out here was part of his plan!

pae 9

b1) Plan?
b2) What do you mean by plan?
b3,4) haa
b5) There's a bunch of guys waiting in one of the back roads to capture you and take you to the gym storage room.
b6) They were going to rape you, and he would come in at just the right time and save you. // This way you would forget about what he did to you!
b7) What the hell is that?
b8) There's no way everything would go that well!
b9) Yes it would!
b0) He's a real smooth talker!
b1) He's used to handling women.
b2) He'll apologize and beg for forgiveness.
b3) Fool you with a nice smile...
b4) and you'll find yourself falling for him again.

b6) That's right.

page 13

b1) When?
b2) 3 days ago.
b3) 3 days ago?
b4) I thought it was all just a dream.
b5) I didn't believe contractors actually existed, // I also thought the mark on my chest was just a coincidence.
b6) But after seeing you, I realize it was all real.
b7) I'm going to become a contractor and change everything!
b8) And I'll become one by killing you! // The person I was the closest too!
-it already looks like your mangekyou sharingan is there... I don't think u need 2 kill naruto... I mean azusa n e more-
b9) Next will be Daisuke... and all the guys he got to rape me, I'll kill them all!
b0) ughn...

b2) Wake up!
b3) Even if you do that, you won't become a contractor!

b2) Not good enough.

page 18

b1) What on earth are you planning
b2) by making people kill each other?
b3) Evolution!
panel) I had no idea... // That Kyou-chan went through such horrible things.

page 19

panel1) The coach... he didn't just lay his hands on me, // he even hurt my best friend too!
panel2) He'll pay for that! // Not just him, but me too for not noticing and thinking only of myself...
panel3) HE'LL PAY!!
b1) "Evolution"?

page 20

b1) That's right, // the flower wants it's... wants for man to evolve.
b2) The emotions that run wild once don't erase the guilt of doing something wrong. // That's why you guys are failures.
b3) But with a bigger impact, // those restrictive emotions will be gone,
b4) and lead to a complete evolution.
b5) Are you trying to say that becoming a contractor is evolving?
b6) No.

page 22

b1) Surpassing a contractor is the evolution.
b2) Let's stop this.
b3) We don't gain anything from it.
