Confession by Nobuyuki Fukumoto and Kaiji Kawaguchi Part Seven - Page 159 - Asai: STOP!! DON'T DO ANYTHING CRAZY, NOW!! Confession - Page 160 - Asai: Settle down, Ishikura! Don't do anything in an emotional fit that you'll regret later on! Ishikura: Five meters... - Page 161 - Asai: Look, I'm never going to tell anyone about that murder! I honestly don't have intention of doing so! Trust me! Ishikura: Where's your proof...? Asai: Huh...? Ishikura: You can say whatever you feel like. Show me the proof that you'll never try to turn me in. - Page 162 - Asai: But... Ishikura: C'mere... Siddown!! - Page 163 - Ishikura: Prove it!! Even I... Would have liked to get by without killing her... Asai: But... how do I...? Ishikura: Call it a guarantee, if you like... A guarantee that shows me you really WON'T tell anyone... - Page 164 - Ishikura: Which means... YOU have to confess, too...!! Asai: Confess... to what? Ishikura: Something that carries about the same weight as mine... For instance... Any MURDERS you might have committed in the past... - Page 165 - Asai: I... Ishikura, listen... I'm not going to turn you in to the cops or anything. There's nothing for me to gain from doing that. Ishikura: That might have been true a little while ago... But now that I've shown I want to kill you... It's DIFFERENT. - Page 166 - Ishikura: Even if you don't tell anyone after this is over, you'll never be able to sleep well at night. You'll never know if I'm coming to kill you or not. For the rest of our lives... - Page 167 - Asai: Ishikura... We're both stuck in an emergency situation, trapped in here together. We're going stir-crazy in here. When we get down the mountain, we'll return to normal and there won't be any hard feelings anymore. I believe that. This is just a temporary situation. And we've been friends forever! We've talked about everything together! Ishikura: Talked about "everything"...? - Page 168 - Ishikura: You're a liar! You're nothing but lies!! Have you every, truly, opened your heart to me, once...? Asai: What are you talking about...? Ishikura: You have always ridiculed me! "Taken care" of me? - Page 169 - Ishikura: You were only making sure that other people could see you taking care of me... Instilling yourself with a false sense of kindness!! - Page 170 - Ishikura: You've always looked down on me! Always patronized me!! You scumbag!! Did you think I was so stupid that I never knew?! You've never really confided anything in me! NOT ONCE! - Page 171 - Ishikura: All that you have created over these years... Was your own feeling of superiority and my discomfort. - Page 172 - Asai: {What should I do...? What can I do?} Y-you're wrong, Ishikura... That's not true... I don't know how I should undo this misunderstanding... I don't know how... But it's still not true. I have honestly, always thought of you as my best friend... I've always talked to you with that in mind! Ishikura: Then tell me... Asai: Huh? - Page 173 - Ishikura: Go on, tell me whatever... Whatever will convince me. Do you really feel it's necessary to apologize, or not? If so, then apologize! GO ON, USE THAT FRIENDLINESS OF YOURS TO SOOTH MY RAGE!! - Page 174 - Asai: Well... I... - Page 175 - Asai: {What is it...? What is he thinking? What...?!} - Page 176 - Ishikura: Asai... Asai: What? - Page 177 - Ishikura: What is this I'm holding? - Page 178 - Ishikura: Three meters... Asai: Huh? <
