commedia | PC WITH ANAIDO I MEAN FUKUDA

[A thoughtful noise.]

...She did make her enemies. And she wasn't a fool. I do wonder, if she actually fought back.

[He nods. Slurps a noodle and then pauses, before offering Douman a spoonful of broth.]

I understand why people were mad with her, but... Well, she was someone who was able to understand me a little.
[He's just sad.]

...

[That gets Douman to glance over at him.]

What did you say, during trial? That she was Jack the Ripper?

...

[Hm. He may have said too much.]
Aah.

Mmm. Yes. Jack the Ripper. A terrifying figure, who went after women, became so very feared for their devilish acts...

[They shake their head.]

Aah, but that really was a woman. Though, a serial killer understanding you...

[And their eyes flit over to fix on Fukuda, dark.]

Did you kill people too, hm?

[Hm this bowl of ramen is so interesting, suddenly!!!

He is literally just not going to say anything!!! Maybe this will work.]

[Douman is silent before a low laugh comes from them, cold.]

Don't worry. I'm not someone who can judge such things.

....

[Slurps a noodle.....]

It wasn't like I wanted to kill people. I just wanted other people to feel what I felt.

[A short exhale.]

How so? Giving them a hole?

[He nods.]

Since it helped me, I thought it could help other people too.

Even if they died from your "help"?

... I had to try. I can't explain it.
[He had a Compulsion.]

But it did help some people, I think...

How many people survived like you did?

Two, out of the eight people I drilled.

Only two? Ahh, Fukuda...surely you could have seen that coming. Still, two is better than none, hm hm.

They never die right away. I felt like I had to keep trying. There was something I needed to see.

[They put down the glass in their hands, turning around to face Fukuda, dark eyes glittering.]

And tell me. What was that?

The last person, miss Hondomachi... She forced my hand. I was holding the drill but.... She made the hole herself.

...

She drilled her own head?

Aah. That was the difference. I wanted to see someone else do it to themselves, the same way I did. I'm really grateful to her for that.

And I assume she's one of the ones who survived?

That's right. And she did it all just to ensure I got caught.

...Caught? Ah, for your previous crimes?

[He nods.]

It's not so bad, though. I wouldn't have met my partner if it weren't for that.

Your...partner?
