[ With his eyes locked with Jon's blue ones, he can't avoid seeing the emotion reflected in it. He should've known by now that eyes will tell him so many things, sometimes even things that he didn't want to know. But he doesn't want to run away from the truth anymore at this point. ]
I... I didn't.
[ He says, gritting his teeth. Here goes, part two. ]
I got scouted to some elite school called the Hope's Peak Academy sometime after my big bro's death. It's... where I got my title from. [ The whole 'Super High School Biker Gang Leader' thing. ] Apparently they only took in people with special talents or some crap like that, and they promised you bright future after you get outta there, but...
[ Puffing out air, he pauses for a moment before going on. This all sounds too made-up to be true, but it was his reality. ]
Dunno what happened, somehow we were locked down in the school and had to kill each other if we wanna get out. There was even this bear robot that kept claiming that it was the principal of the school, and it kept giving us 'motives' to kill. I know this sounds darned crazy ー 's all like one fucking sick joke, but it was real. People died, for real.
[ The brakes for his mouth are really not working now, goddammit. He didn't want to say it so straightforwardly, especially not to Jon, but his tongue doesn't stop. ]
...And I... let it fuck me over. It somehow knew about my big bro's death and threatened to expose it to my gang if I didn't kill within 24 hours. I was so fuckin' scared. The gang's all I got left, and I didn't want to break the promise I made with my brother to keep them together. ...But I didn't want to kill either.
Thinkin' bout it now, I shouldn't have, but I kept all those to myself. I... drove myself to a corner. It gradually felt like I was gonna go bonkers. [ There's no point regretting it now, but it was something he could learn from, for this 'second life' he's gotten. ]
And then... one of my classmates, Fujisaki, happened to say somethin' that set me off. It wasn't even anythin' offensive, Fujisaki wasn't at fault at all. 's just bad, bad timing.
[ It was overlapping series of unfortunate events. And the fact that Mondo was a walking disaster. ]
Everything just... went to black then.
[ If he closes his eyes now, he knows he can see the scene unfolding again in the back of his mind. ]
When I got a hold of myself again, Fujisaki was already dead and I was there, holding the weapon. [ His grips on Jon's shoulders weaken and he eventually lets them drop to his sides. ] I knew then, that I was the one who did it.
