Original work: Sui Ishida [Japan]
"Do you wish to be saved?"
"Everything bad in this world is caused by the inadequacies of the people involved."
"Don't you want to become me?"
An empty room, black-and-white checkered floor tiles, a black wooden chair, shackles on the armrests, the clanging of a wrench and pliers, the sound of a centipede crawling, 1000-7=, ringing ears, a girl's mocking laughter, a torn-up letter, tears that won't fall, smoke stinging the nose, teeth grinding together, a little girl's lonely sobs...
"After all this, do you really think I could still be afraid of this kind of pain?"
