[ Hiyori laughs, sounding wounded, and looks over his shoulder at Tsumugi. ]
Yes, yes! You've seen to the heart of the matter! As always, I have only my own self in mind.
I hate it. I hate it, Tsumugi-kun! If I were to return home now, this would eat me alive. I'd rot from the inside out, no matter how much care I took to fortify my facade.
Until now, there was always a bright side. I could turn my back on the shadows, because even in Yumenosaki, Nagisa-kun was at my side as we were hailed as heroes. At Reimei, whatever else unfortunate things that school may be, I was able to raise Jun-kun out of the gloom. I may have been hated, but I was loved too. I was able to save something, make something grow, yes!
But there's no sunlight that can reach down in these depths. I want someone— no, two people— to die. I can't stand it, but I can't dig out. If something is rooted deep enough, the light will never reach it no matter how much I make the rest of my life shine. If I carry back from this only my betrayal and pain, surely, one by one, the rest of my light will start to flicker.
Even if you hate me for it, I want to save you still. So even this memory has a little light.
