- Higashi: If I must die...
- Higashi: I'd rather die in Summer.
- Page 209
- Higashi: Because heat allows corpses to decay faster.
- Higashi: In less than a week, my body won't be recognizable anymore.
- Higashi: I only have this Summer to put my plan into action!
- Page 210
- Higashi: Because next Summer, it'll be too late already... simply because Maho will be a 3rd year...
- Higashi: And she will be too busy studying for college entrance exams.
- Higashi: August of this year is thus the best moment.
- Higashi: If I'm killed early August, Obon will come quickly.
- (T/N: Obon is an annual Buddhist event for commemorating one's ancestors, commonly celebrated around August 15th)
- Higashi: Lots of people will leave on holiday, thus lowering the odds my body is discovered.
- Higashi: Meanwhile, it will have time to decay well.

- Letter of Resignation
- Higashi: Please, accept it.
- Principal: A... Are you sure about this...
- Principal: Higashiyama-sensei?
- Higashi: Yes.
- Higashi: I'm really sorry.
- Higashi: But I insist on quitting by the end of the first trimester.
- T/N: Since the school year starts in April, the first trimester finishes at the end of July
- Page 213
- Teacher: To go take care of his parents, you say?
- Teacher: Yes, apparently.
- Teacher: Can you believe it?
- Teacher: But the worst thing is to resign in the middle of the year...
- Teacher: It's completely irresponsible!
- Teacher: I agree.
- Higashi: Now, I can no longer back out.

- Satsuki: Haru...
- Satsuki: Higashiyama-sensei.
- Satsuki: Is that true...
- Satsuki: that you are resigning?
- Higashi: Yes.
- Page 215
- Satsuki: Moreover, I hear it's to go take care of your parents.
- Satsuki: Is that a joke?
- Higashi: No.
- Higashi: W...
- Higashi: What?
- Satsuki: I know you're lying, Haruto!
- Satsuki: That whole "going to take care of my parents" is bullshit.
- Satsuki: First, because I know your brother is living with them.
- Satsuki: And most of all, because I know that during college, you didn't go back visit them even once.
- Page 216
- Satsuki: I'm even confident that you didn't call them once since then.
- Satsuki: Am I wrong?
- Higashi: Ha ha...
- Higashi: I decidedly can't hide anything from you, Satsuki...
- Higashi: It's true that I haven't seen my parents in more than 15 years.
- Higashi: And they haven't called me in at least 10 years.
- Higashi: I chose to use that excuse publicly...
- Higashi: But actually, it's because I'm going on a trip.
- Satsuki: A trip?
- Page 217
- Higashi: India... Nepal... Thailand...
- Higashi: I plan on traveling until I run out of money...
- Higashi: It may seem strange to you at my age, but I decided to get to know myself at last.
- Higashi: You think it's stupid?
- Higashi: Heh Heh!
- Higashi: Actually, I also think it is.
- Satsuki: He's different than usual.
- Satsuki: His gaze is strange.
- Page 218
- Satsuki: It looks like...
- Satsuki: He's possessed, that he's living in his own world...
- Higashi: That way, no one will be suspicious if I vanish overnight.
- Higashi: Knowing I'm traveling, no one will think about filing a missing person report.
- Page 219
- Higashi: Tsk...
- Higashi: A trip...
- Higashi: Yes...
- Higashi: A trip...
- Higashi: A long... very long one...

- July 18th 2014, End Of First Trimester Ceremony
- Principal: Don't indulge yourselves, always have in mind, even in vacation...
- Principal: that you represent Nitaka Highschool.
- Principal: And finally...
- Principal: I wanted to make an announcement.
- Principal: After four years of excellent work among us, the teacher of History, Geography and Civic Education, Higashiyama-sensei...
- Principal: Is quitting as of today.
- Page 221
- Student: What? Is it a joke?
- Student: Higashi is quitting?!
- Yukio: Uh?
- Page 222
- Higashi: I'm sorry...
- Higashi: For this abrupt announcement.
- Higashi: I decided to go back urgently in the countryside to take care of my parents.
- Higashi: However, I wish to pursue the researches we started...
- Higashi: Until I leave mid-August, around Obon.
- Higashi: So, we will continue our researches....
- Higashi: During this Summer vacations, as planned.

- Maho: Haa
- Maho: Haa
- Page 224
- Kaori: Let's leave, Aoi.
- Aoi: Poyo.
- Yukio: But...
- Yukio: Maho?!
- Higashi: ...
- Yukio: Maho!
- Yukio: Are you all right, Maho?
- Yukio: You don't look good!
- Page 225
- Kaori: Hey there...
- Kaori: Yukio...
- Yukio: Uh?
- Aoi: She's not...
- Aoi: The Maho you know, Poyo.
- Yukio: What is she saying?
- Yukio: That girl isn't right in the head.
- Kaori: You better believe her, she's right!
- Kaori: I am Kaori!
- Page 226
- Yukio: Kaori?
- Yukio: Are you crazy, Maho?
- Yukio: Who's that Kaori?
- Kaori: Raah, he already pisses me off!
- Kaori: The shock of the news about sensei leaving made her consciousness retreat.
- Kaori: So she's not here anymore!
- Kaori: I came out in her place.
- Yukio: What do you mean, "came out"?
- Yukio: Are you playing a role, or what?
- Kaori: Not at all!
- Aoi: Sometimes, Maho turns into Kaori, like now, Poyo.
- Page 227
- Aoi: When she feels pain or a shock, Kaori comes out in Maho's place, Poyo.
- Aoi: Maybe she's a bit rude, but Kaori is someone really nice and strong, Poyo.
- Yukio: I heard about this on TV or manga!
- Yukio: Isn't that called a multiple personality disorder?
- Kaori: How would I know!
- Yukio: Say, Maho...
- Yukio: Or rather, Kaori...
- Yukio: Since when are you inside her?
- Kaori: Hmm...
- Kaori: Maho thinks you're a good person...
- Kaori: So I can trust you and tell you about it.
- Page 228
- Kaori: What I'm going to tell you...
- Kaori: You must never ever tell it to Maho, Ok?
- Yukio: O...
- Yukio: Ok.
- 2001 - 4 years old Maho
- Maho: Waah...(x7, ie crying...)
- Page 229
- Kaori: Since childhood, the relationship between Maho's parents was always terrible.
- Kaori: Her father often hit her too...
- Maho: It hurts!
- Maho: It huurts!
- Page 230
- Kaori: Before long, her mother started to drink early in the morning...
- Kaori: And to also beat Maho.
- Maho: Waah...
- Maho: Stop it...
- Maho: I beg you.
- Kaori: Denying this reality...
- Kaori: She sought to retreat inside herself.
- Page 231
- Kaori: Maho isn't conscious I exist.
- Kaori: On the other hand, I know everything about her.
- Kaori: As soon as Maho feels sad...
- Kaori: I come out and try to protect her!
- Page 232
- Satsuki in Yukio's mind: You should continue to stay around Maho, like you did until now.
- Satsuki in Yukio's mind: She's really vulnerable at the moment.
- Yukio: So, that's what...
- Yukio: Satsuki-sensei was talking about...
- Kaori: Say, Yukio...
- Kaori: Are you still in love with Maho?
- Yukio: Y... Yes...
- Yukio: Ah right, she knows I confessed...
- Kaori: Then, don't give up.
- Kaori: Sure, Maho likes her teacher...
- Page 233
- Kaori: But actually, she also has feelings for you.
- Yukio: Uh?
- Kaori: The problem is, she doesn't trust herself, because of that dreadful incident...
- Kaori: So she thinks you won't be strong enough for her.
- Kaori: Maybe this teacher...
- Kaori: Could save her...
- Kaori: But...
- Yukio: A dreadful incident?
- Yukio: What's this about?
- Kaori: Crap...
- Kaori: I said too much...
- Page 234
- Kaori: Ah... She's coming back!
- Kaori: See ya soon, Yukio!
- Page 235
- Maho: Oh...
- Maho: Yukio...
- Maho: Was I sleeping?!
- Yukio: Uh?
- Yukio: Err yes...
- Yukio: Her voice and her expression changed completely!
- Yukio: So it wasn't a role she was playing...
- Yukio: Hot damn...
- Yukio: So it truly exists in reality!
- Page 236
- Yukio: Boohoo...
- Yukio: Boohoo...
- Yukio: Poor...
- Yukio: Maho...
- Yukio: She's so pitiful....
- Yukio: Boohoo...
- Yukio: Boohoo...
