S...Sayaka-kun... [He utters her name as he faces her, trying to look her in the eyes to convey his sincerity. Ishimaru stands intently in place, tears continuing to stain his cheeks as he speaks to her.]

I do not dislike you at all! I could not even consider it possible to dislike you! In fact, I find that I like you quite a lot! It's true that I cannot forget what happened at Hope's Peak... b-but that was an unfair situation to begin with!

[He sniffles for a moment, his energy dimming as he goes on.]

We are free from the killing game now. And in this world, I have been so happy to get to truly know you! After all, it has helped me to see that no matter what, you really are a good person at heart! I do not want to give up on you at all, Sayaka-kun... In fact, I wish to stand by your side!
