| + | Still a bit dazed, Asagami Fujino raises herself up. There is no one here, Fujino is in a room. The room's light is off... no, there is no such thing to begin with. Only darkness surrounds her. |
||
| + | "Hmm...." |
||
| − | Inside a blank awareness Asagami Fujino raised her body. |
||
| + | Letting out a breath, Fujino feels her own hair. The tuft on her left side is cut off. It's probably from the guy with a knife who was on her a second ago. Remembering that, she finally looks around the room. This place is a bar made in a basement. It was abandoned half a year ago due to bankruptcy and became a place where bad kids hang out. ...In the corner of the room is a pipe chair. ...In the middle of the room is a pool table. ...Food from convienience stores are scattered around, and there is a pile of trash stacked up. It seems these things are creating the disturbing odor. Fujino feels unpleasant from the sickening smell in the room. This place is a ruin... or is it some back alley of a faraway country? One cannot even imagine that a normal city exists on the other side of the stairway. The only normal thing you could say is the smell of the alcohol lamp they brought in. |
||
| − | Fujino was inside a room. |
||
| + | "Umm...." |
||
| − | There was no indication of any human presence around her. |
||
| + | She looks around in a rather well-mannered fashion. Fujino's mind is not fully functional yet. ...She still has not taken in what has been happening until now. She picks up a wrist that happens to be by her feet. There is a watch on the wrist which was torn off. The digital screen shows July 20, 1998. Time is 8PM, not even an hour after that incident. |
||
| − | The room's light wasn't on. No, there was no reason to expect something like a light to exist. |
||
| + | "Guh...!" |
||
| − | Around her was only the deep darkness. |
||
| + | Fujino groans from the sudden pain. A great pain is in her stomach area. She twists her body, not able to withstand the squeezing pain. The hands that touch the floor make a splashing sound. Looking, the whole room is filled with liquid. |
||
| − | "Ah ---." |
||
| + | "Yes, come to think of it, it is raining today." |
||
| − | Releasing her breath as if in pain Fujino touches her long black hair. ... The hair that once came from her left shoulder to the edge of her chest was gone. Probably because the man that had been assaulting her until just a moment ago cut it off with a knife. Recalling that memory she glanced at her surroundings. |
||
| + | Talking to herself, Fujino stands up. She looks at her stomach. There is a trace of blood there... the place where she was stabbed by these people scattered around here. |
||
| − | The location was an underground liqour store. |
||
| − | |||
| − | It was a ruin that had gone out of business half a year ago during a time of depression, and since then had become a hideout for misfits. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ... In the corner of the room is a pipe chair that has been violently thrown away. ... In the centre of the room is a pool table. ... Snacks bought at a convenience store lie scattered in various states of consumption, and wrappers are piled sky high. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Such signs of laziness are making a disgusting residue. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Fujino becomes displeased by the sour smell that fills the room. |
||
| − | |||
| − | This is a ruin. No, some back alley slum in a far-off country. It's unimaginable that just beyond the stairs exists a perfectly normal town. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The only thing here that could be described as functioning properly is the scent of the alcohol lamp they had brought. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Mmm ---." |
||
| − | |||
| − | With careful movements she looks around nervously. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Fujino's conciousness hadn't yet recovered fully, she still can't understand the events that had just occurred. |
||
| − | |||
| − | She picks up a wrist that is rolling around next to her. A watch is wrapped around the wrenched off wrist. The digital face gestures at the date 1998.7.20. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The time is 8 o'clock. After the incident, not one hour has passed. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Ugh... !" |
||
| − | |||
| − | Fujino cries out at the sudden pain that overwhelms her. |
||
| − | |||
| − | An incredible sensation remains in her abdomen. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Unable to stand the pain that seems to tighten around her stomach she twists her body. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Splash, the hand that touches the floor makes a noise. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Looking around, the floor of this ruined building is covered in water. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "... Ah, it rained today." |
||
| − | |||
| − | Fujino mutters as if she is speaking to someone and stands up. |
||
| − | |||
| − | She glances at her stomach. There's a bloodstain upon her shirt. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The mark of the wound, where Asagami Fujino had been stabbed by the men that lay scattered around her |

| + | The one who stabbed Fujino was a famous person in town. He stood out more than most of the others that dropped out of high school and was known as a leader-like person for the people who played around. He gathered people that liked the same thing as he did and did what they wanted. As part of the fun, they raped Fujino. Not much reason were there. Probably because Fujino was a student of the Reien Lady Academy and was also beautiful. As they were violent and selfish, they were not done by just once. It seems they knew they could be accused for their actions, but they changed their mind when they found out that Fujino did not tell anyone. They found out they were the ones in power and they brought Fujino into this place many times. Tonight was another one of those times and they were completely relaxed, and also getting bored of the action. The guy probably brought out the knife to bring some excitement into this repeated habit. The leader of the kids had his pride hurt since Fujino lived normally even after they have raped her. He wanted a definite proof that he was the one who ruled over her. As an extreme violence, he readied a knife, but the girl only made a cool face. He got angry at the girl whose expression didn't change even after showing the knife, so he pushed her down and... |

| − | The man that had stabbed Fujino with a knife is well known around the city. The most conspicuous among the derailed high schoolers, he is known as a leader among the misfits of society. |
||
| − | |||
| − | He who went around only doing what he wanted with a group of like minded comrades he had put together routinely humiliated Fujino as their recreational past-time. |
||
| − | |||
| − | There was no particular reason. It was just that Fujino was a Reien Girl's High student and a beauty. |
||
| − | |||
| − | This slightly barbaric and stupid young man who was prone to doing as he wanted with no thoughts of repentence, and those who were his cheap imitations weren't satisfied with just one act of violence. |
||
| − | |||
| − | These fellows who were of that sort, knew that in their situation they would normally be reported to the police, but once they found out that Fujino hadn't discussed her problem with anyone else and was agonising over it by herself they changed their minds about it all. Thinking that they were the strong ones, they dragged her out to this ruin multiple times. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Tonight was a similar situation, they were too relaxed and the game was starting to get a bit stale. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The reason that man took out a knife was probably to break that habit-like repetition of events. |
||
| − | |||
| − | His self-respect had been hurt by the fact that even while being humiliated Fujino spent each and every day as if nothing was happening. He wanted to make a definiticve statement that the one who controlled Fujino was him, and nothing else. So he prepared a knife for a more violent act than usual. |

| − | |||
| − | But the girl only showed a colder face. |
||
| − | |||
| − | He suddenly knocked over the girl whose expression didn't change even when a knife was pressed against her face, and then --- |

+ | "I can't walk outside like this." |
| − | |||
| − | Fujino touched her blood-covered self and closed her eyes. It was because the only blood she had shed was from the wound at her belly, but she was covered from head to boots in their blood. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Dirtying me like this --- that idiot." |
||
| − | |||
| − | Is it that she can't stand the fact that she was covered in blood more than the humiliation she had suffered until now. |

| − | It's raining outside. In an hour's time there won't be many people outside. Even if it's raining it's summer so it won't be very cold. I can wash off the blood on the way to the park, and there I will somehow clean the dried blood ---. |

| − | If that's the case she herself will be arrested by the police. If he goes straight to a station, I will be arrested straight away. |
||
| − | |||
| − | But --- really, will he go to a police station? |
||
| − | |||
| − | How will he explain the incident? |
||
| − | |||
| − | After kidnapping a girl called Asagami Fujino and humiliating her as a group, telling her to keep quiet if she doesn't want them to tell the whole school, would he start to explain from that threat ---? |
||
| − | |||
| − | As if. |
||
| − | |||
| − | That's an impossible thing, and people like this won't have the capacity to hide the truth and make up a story others will believe. |
||
| − | |||
| − | As Fujino gained some sense of security, she lights the lamp on the pools table. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Pwhoom, with that dry sound a fire lights up the darkness. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Sixteen torn-off limbs are clearly visible. If she looked there would be bodies and heads too. |
||
| + | Fujino downcasts her eyes as she feels her blood-soaked self. The only blood that is from herself is the one on her stomach, but from the top of her hair to the bottom of her shoes is dirtied by someone else's blood. It seems the blood on her cannot be easily washed off. Fujino murmurs to herself. |
||
| − | Lit up by the orange flame, the room that looked as if it had been coloured in red by a lunatic was finshed in all senses. |
||
| + | "How stupid of me... getting this dirty." |
||
| − | Fujino didn't pay much thought to this horrible scene. |
||
| + | And she kicks at one of the limbs scattered around the floor. Am I more angry at getting dirtied by their blood than the fact that they have violated me up to now? Fujino thinks as she is surprized by her own violentness. It's raining outside... there should be less people walking about in about an hour. Even though it's raining, it's summertime so it shouldn't be too cold. I'll soak myself in the rain and then wash off the blood at some park. ...As she reaches that solution, she suddenly calms down. She walks away from the pool of blood and finally counts the corpses scattered around. One, two, three, four... four...... four...... four, no matter how many times it's counted!! She is astonished. ...One is missing... |
||
| − | ... One person, ran away. Her revenge wasn't yet finished. Happily it wasn't finished. |
||

||
| − | "Is it, impossible for me not to take revenge?" |
||
| + | She murmurs faintly. Then I will be caught by the police. If he goes to them, I will be arrested. But... will he go to the police? How will he be able to explain the situation? Will he start from telling them about raping me, Asagami Fujino, and threatening her not to tell anyone? Not possible. Such a thing is impossible, and these people should not have the brains to come up with a convincing story. Fujino relaxes a bit and lights the lamp on the pool table. The light from the lamp lights the whole room. The 16 scattered arms and legs show up clearly. If you look for it, you should also find four bodies and heads. Lightened up by the orange light, the room is painted anew with red paint like it has gone mad. Fujino did not care much about this disastrous scene. ... One has escaped.
