I'm not here. Leave a message.

Be more specific. I'm beyond help.

What did you do that you believe was wrong?

Robbery, car theft, drug dealing. And so forth.

For how many years did you commit these offenses?

I started after the earthquake.

If you've been doing these things for so long, why only now feel guilt?

Nothing in particular changed my mind. I just realized it wasn't worth it.

Fair enough.

Do you think others who did the same things deserve to die as well?

That's not up to me to decide.

Why is it you deserve punishment above them? Don't tell me it's guilt or because you're scum. I wan't a reason founded in logic.

[ It takes him a while to respond. ]

Then you're not going to get one.

Do you not believe people can make up for their mistakes?

I'm not here to pass judgment on anyone but myself, Terui.

I asked for your opinion, not your judgment.

So I'm supposed to give you my opinion without making a judgment?

Don't misconstrue my words.

All I want is a yes or no.

...

No.

What would convince you otherwise?

Show me somebody who has.

[ Immediately, he thought of the one person he knew who met that criteria. He had to swallow his pride to admit it, but... ]

Give me a day.

I'll be waiting.
