[Wow. What does he say to her? He kept silent the entire time, listening... He reaches out, a hand on Ann's shoulder, and gently pulls her into an awkward hug since he's shorter than her. It feels like the most appropriate thing for him to do.]
I wanted nothing more back then than to make him suffer for what he did to her. To the other students, too, but mostly Shiho. When it came time, I wanted to kill him, and another friend even told me that it was my call. The boys didn't want me to, but I wanted it. The problem... is if you kill someone's Shadow in the Metaverse, their real selves have some sort of mental breakdown and they actually die. He deserved that.
[ Atem reaches out and pulls her into a hug, and she's quick to return it, giving him a very gentle, appreciative squeeze. ]
Thanks. For the record... I didn't kill him. I wanted him to confess his crimes, I wanted him to go to jail, and I wanted him to live with what he's done for the rest of his miserable, sorry life until it drives him insane. That's a fate far, far worse than death. At least, that's what I think. And he did confess like the sniveling coward he is. As for Shiho... she recovered. Physically, at least. She moved away after that.
...Kamoshida messed with more than just me, or Shiho, though. He screwed with my friend Ryuji so badly that it ruined his track and field career. And he tried to expel both him and our other friend.
[He rubs her back in a way he hopes is encouraging. This is very awkward for him. 'By the way, Ann, if you see him down here, tell me and I'll personally destroy his feeble mind ten times over. The demons will be merciful compared to me.' He's thankful she didn't kill the man, but...]
That's not an easy choice to make considering all that he has done to you and your friends.
[ She's sort of also glad she didn't kill him, even if the urge is still there. She knows damn well that if Kamoshida ever decided to finally kill himself and end up here, she'd just continuously kill him over and over herself. She'd wait for him to come back and immediately kill him again, like clockwork. So it's probably... a very good thing the coward hasn't offed himself.
Atem is so sweet, and she's grateful for his understanding. It's why she presses a gentle kiss against his cheek. ]
Thank you for being so kind, Atem. You're right, it was a terrible choice to make. But he's right where he needs to be for now. And one day, he'll be here, too. And I'll be ready when he does show up. As long as Shiho never comes here, I'll be okay with that.
