*Crying* |
 |
Huh...... |
|
*Still crying* |
|
Hey. How long are you going to keep crying for? Prisoner number 4, Muu. We can't begin the interrogation like this now. |
|
Interrogation? What do you mean by that...? I'm sure you have something terrible waiting for me. I don't wanna do it! |
|
I won't do anything of the sort…and I've been telling you that over and over again, haven't I? Five minutes have already passed now. Our time's limited, you know that? |
|
*Cries* There's no way I can trust you. You're the person who brought me to this weird place. So, there's no way I can believe that you won't do anything weird either. |
|
I understand how you feel, but… I only want to hear what you have to say. I'll be referring to such information when judging your sins- that's why. |
|
Are we really only gonna talk? |
|
Yes. It's my policy. Using violence to torture you, threaten you or anything of the sort are things which I have no intention of doing. I want to get a firm understanding of you lot in my own way after all. |
|
Oh… |
|
So, how's that? |
|
I'm Muu… Kusunoki. 16 years old… Aside from that, what else should I say? |
|
Hm. There's something I'm a little curious about. *Creak* Judging from your facial features, are you what they call "half-Japanese"? |
|
Yeah… I'm biracial. My mama's French. I was born and raised in Japan though. |
|
And, that appearance of yours must've made you stand out, right? |
|
Yeah… That's true… My family's rich as well, so I got a lot of envious looks and such… |
|
Hm… So that's the case, is it? How's life in MILGRAM then? |
|
I can't even begin to describe it. I just want to hurry up and go back home! |
|
Oh? Why is that? You lot are given a decent amount of freedom here. We're granting you the few indulgences which exist as well. In fact, even you've sent in a request asking for a crepe cake as well. |
|
That's… That's true, but… And, I did eat the crepe cake, but… I just really wanna go home. |
|
Hm. |
|
I'm sure that Papa and Mama are worried about me! *Cries again* What even is this place? Why did you even have to bring me here? |
|
That's simple. It's because you're a killer, aren't you? MILGRAM gathers up killers- there's seemingly no doubt about that. |
|
Killer? Why would you say such a horrible thing? I'm not the bad one here! |
|
Hm? You're not claiming that you didn't kill them though. Is that right? |
|
That's… |
|
That's what? |
|
Um… |
|
What's wrong? |
|
I did kill them. But, they're to blame! They made it to the point where I had to kill them… I… I had such a tough time. |
|
So, it was an "act of retaliation" as you'd call it… |
|
Sure, I might've killed them, but… If I didn't, I wouldn't have been able to escape. The cruel things they did to me were far worse! |
|
Hm… Continue. |
|
If you're gonna say that I shouldn't have killed them, then… Are you saying that I should've continued suffering forever? |
|
Hm. Whatever your reasoning may be, you've clearly killed someone with malicious intent. |
|
What? What about it? |
|
You said you wanted to go back home, right? And, "suppose" we did let you… Even if you were to leave this place, you'll then have a brush with the police, won't you? |
|
*Surprised* |
|
I mean, you've killed someone anyway, so are the police not making a move in regards to that? |
|
Well, I don't know. As of now, I don't have a clear memory of what happened after I did it. And then before I knew it, I was here. |
|
Is… that so? |
|
You guys should've known that, being the ones who brought me here after all. |
|
Hm… According to MILGRAM, ten killers are being imprisoned here. It looks like they're not only limiting this to whom the Japanese law would deem to be murderers, criminals and so on. I suppose they're "killers" by MILGRAM's own wide interpretation of that word. After listening to what some people had to say, that's what I've realized. |
|
Is…that so? |
|
However, Muu… You clearly had malicious intent. So, it's simple. According to your so-called penal code, under Article 199, your case would've been classified as murder. Right? |
|
I don't know. I… don't know much about that kinda stuff. |
|
Just to let you know, I don't know lots about it either. But, I just looked it up using the materials in the stack room for future reference—that's all. Though what's important here is the fact that according to the law which you lot use, you would've been condemned. |
|
I-Isn't there something called the Juvenile Law? |
|
There is. However, so long as you're 16 or older, you'll be tried under the general criminal law. And that'll result in penal servitude for you. Seems like you'll be able to escape the death penalty though… But, you won't be able to live the decent life you hoped for there now will you? |
|
Penal servitude? I don't wanna do something like that! |
|
Even if you say you don't want to, do you really think they'll listen to you? |
|
I don't wanna! |
|
*Laughs* My policy ensures that MILGRAM will give you prisoners a considerable amount of freedom. That won't happen in an actual prison now, will it? Needless to say, they won't give you any crepe cakes there either. |
|
No… No way. This is so messed-up. I… Even though I'm not the one in the wrong, they want to sentence me to penal servitude… That's so messed-up. |
|
Oh, that's right. Then, why don't you think of it like this? "MILGRAM is protecting you from the law." |
|
P-protecting? It's protecting me? |
|
Correct. MILGRAM currently… Well, at least for now… It doesn't use the law's standard for distinguishing between good and evil. Ultimately, it's just a matter of what I think. |
|
Guard-san, what you're saying is pretty difficult to understand and I can't keep up. Say it in a way which'll be easier for me to grasp. |
|
"I'm not the bad one here," you've been saying that this whole time, right? Well, it's true. Homicide in itself is not considered a sin in MILGRAM. |
|
Exactly! It wasn't a bad thing to do, right? |
|
That's right. In the end, I also might think that you weren't the bad one either. After getting to know you, Muu, if I have the same perception as you do, then I'll forgive you. Isn't that a given? |
|
Guard-san… |
|
So, if you want to be forgiven, that's the only thing you should be betting on. |
|
What should I do then? What should I do in order for you to forgive me, guard-san? I'll do anything! Um… Anything painful or embarrassing is out of the question though… And, I don't wanna do anything scary either… |
|
Ugh, listen here you… |
|
But, it's true, isn't it? All I have to do is gain your favor, right? I'll listen to what you say! So, what would you like me to do? |
|
Who knows? This might come off as annoying, but… About what I'll think of you, I don't know that myself either. |
|
What? |
|
*Laughs* That's the thing. I'm saying that I might forgive you just because you're beautiful. But, I also might not forgive you for the exact same reason. It's MILGRAM which decides that. |
|
W-wait a second, guard-san. Um… |
|
What? It was just a little joke. Well, that depends on me since there's a possibility that I might actually go through with it. |
|
Uh, that's not it. Something's bothering me though… |
|
Hm? What's wrong? Let it out then. |
|
Guard-san, why do you treat everything like it's someone else's business? |
|
Huh? |
|
"I don't know what I think about you" is what you said… But, they're your own thoughts, you know… Why are you treating them like they're somebody else's? |
|
What… are you saying? |
|
Huh? I mean, it's strange, you know. Guard-san, you'll be making these decisions based on your own will, right? But guard-san, even though I'm now asking you about what your own thoughts are… |
|
*Struggling* |
|
Hey… Guard-san, when you say "I"… Who are you talking about? |
|
*Breaking down* |
|
Guard-san? |
|
*Stumbles* |
|
Guard-san. What's wrong? Guard-san! *shakes Es* Hey! Guard-san! |
|
Shut up! Don't touch me! |
|
*Cries* You're so cruel… I… Even though I was just worried about you… *Cries again* I can't take it anymore. I hate you, Guard-san! |
 |
*Appears* |
|
No way… Jackalope? Where did you come from? |
|
Jackalope… |
|
*Footsteps* |
|
Yeah, I get it. I said I get it. |
|
Y-you're talking to a rabbit. |
|
Yeah, that goes without saying. I don't understand it myself either, but I'm fine already. You can go now. This is my job after all. Ugh, come on, just shut up already! You're not my guardian, so enough with the nagging. Leave! |
|
*Footsteps* |
|
Jackalope… left. |
|
*Sigh* My apologies. I got worked-up there. |
|
Have you finally lost your mind, guard-san? |
|
No, I haven't. Jackalope's voice can't be heard by anyone other than myself. |
|
Oh. So, you actually have completely lost it. |
|
I haven't! Don't look at me with such pitiful eyes. |
|
*Laughs* |
|
Huh? |
|
*Giggles* You're so weird. |
|
What's this? To think you were crying just a minute ago. |
|
Ah… You know... It was one confusing thing after another, but it turned out to be kinda funny after a while. I mean, I thought you were saying some pretty complicated stuff, but then you just started talking to a rabbit. *Giggles* |
|
Ugh… |
|
What was it again? I've forgotten about what I was trying to ask now. Oh well. At least, I'm not scared anymore. |
|
.....Well, I'm happy to hear that. |
|
So, in other words, I should just become someone you're fond of. And, if I do that, you'll forgive me, right? |
|
It seems that way, I guess? |
|
Yeah, it is. Guard-san, you're human as well, so… I'll do my best. I'll figure out what kinda person you're fond of. Even though you're a sad case who talks to rabbits. *Giggles* |
|
That's enough. Our conversations don't have any flow to them, so that's not gonna happen. |
|
I'll definitely return home. I'll return home to mummy and daddy. So, if I get you to forgive me, I'll be able to go back home for sure, right? |
|
I don't really know. |
|
Yeah… Actually… If I think about it, compared to those good-for-nothing police trying to catch me—someone who's definitely not in the wrong—MILGRAM might just be better for me. |
|
Well, let's just leave it there. If that's what it takes for you to comply and go along with the interrogation, then- |
|
Ah! What is this? The walls are moving. What's happening? |
|
*Irritated sigh* Time's already up? We didn't get to talk much, but… I guess that's okay. I'll be taking a peek at the inside of your heart now. |
|
Is this what'll be making our songs? I-It doesn't hurt, right? |
|
Probably not. |
|
If it hurts, then I don't wanna do it. I won't go through with it. |
|
There's no way I can take that for an answer! It won't hurt, so rest assured. |
|
Then… You can go ahead and do it. |
|
*Sigh* You never had a choice in the matter anyway. |
|
Guard-san, since you're gonna be doing this, you better keep your eyes peeled. I definitely wasn't the bad one… I'm sure you'll also feel like I had no other choice, so… |
|
Yeah, I'll be sure to have a good look. |
|
If I see anything odd about your judgement, I won't forgive you. Got that? |
|
*Surprised* Don't… look down on me. Prisoner number 4, Muu. Come now, sing your sins! |
