Junai Dissonance (Love Dissonance / 純愛ディソナンス)

No way...

Was Kosaka Sensei...

I killed her.

I made up my mind... that I would slowly force Nitta into a corner.

Right here, like how he did to my dad.

And also, like how he forced me and my mom into a corner.

I wonder how he'll feel if we jump down here together.

Let me go! Let me go!

- Let me go! - Izumi!

Sensei!

- Sensei! - Izumi!

Izumi!

This is all your fault.

If you hadn't come into our lives...

Let me go! I've no time to play with you!

Sensei!

Stop it! Stop it!

Get lost!

Stop... Stop─

Izumi!

It's exactly what happened that time. This is retribution for you!

Izumi!

Izumi... Izumi!

Izumi... You'll be fine.

Okay? You hear me? Izumi!

Why has it come to this?

Since when... did it all go wrong?

Izumi-san...

Kosaka Sensei!

Sensei... why did it come to this?

I just happened to fall in love. That's all.

A love that you can't tell anyone about.

I guess that's where... things started going downhill.

The more you love someone,

the more you'll lose sight of the people around you.

Or rather...

you pretend to lose sight of them.

Kosaka Sensei...

Do you regret... loving someone?

But there's already... no turning back for me.

I see.

- If anything happens to her, I definitely won't forgive you. - Calm down, Shii-chan.

I knew it. Nothing good will ever come out of an affair!

Haven't I told you countless times not to get involved with her?

I'm so sorry.

You jinx!

The pain you inflict onto another

will one day come back to haunt you.

Your son... has been arrested as a suspect in the murder case

that occurred five years ago.

Committed sins will cause a chain reaction

and swallow their surroundings.

Izumi Sae-san... is still in a coma.

If you're talking about that, we've made the first move.

"Made the first move"?

It would have been trouble if she had died, and it had become a police case.

Our lawyer should have also explained that to you.

How about Hokuto and I go offer our apologies to Izumi-san's mother?

It's merely an accident, so there's no need to do that.

Besides, we've already paid for the mother's medical expenses.

Medical expenses?

You didn't know? That girl's mother has cancer.

In exchange for those medical expenses, you told her to break up with me?

Oh! You and her have broken up?

This is a good chance for you to patch things up with Manami.

So this is how an affair's end looks like.

Even then...

if I wish to protect someone important to me,

I can only break off those chains of sin...

by putting everything on the line.

Why did you do such thing?

Isn't it obvious?

I wanted to teach Nitta a lesson.

To let him know how it feels to lose someone important to him.

You were the one who killed Kosaka Sensei, weren't you?

That woman was the one who destroyed my family!

You're Kagami Sensei's...

Run...

Why did she ask me to run?

She should've stopped pretending to act like a good person!

And that Nitta...

Thanks to his needless meddling,

my mom was forced into a corner,

and killed herself.

No matter what happened to you, it's wrong of you to drag Sae into it.

Says the one who made her become like this.

Who was the one who caused trouble... at Nitta's workplace?

- Well, that... - That's how a sin... chains itself to the surrounding things.

What are you planning to do from now on?

Whatever.

You did such a terrible thing, don't you think you should sincerely apologize?

That's impossible.

Dad told me not to step even one foot out of here.

Are you living your life only for Dad?

Dad is the only one I can count on.

And I'm the only one Dad has.

What's so funny?

Warped people can't realize this on their own.

You don't have to worry anymore.

So you can feel safe to wake up.

Jeez... Where did this leak out from?

Masaki... set up a press conference immediately.

Make use of the acquisition of Core Spark to assure everyone of our reliability.

In that case, can I also manage the actual day's event as well?

Sure.

I have high expectations of you, Masaki.

Looks like President Usui has a huge grudge against Michika Yusuke.

He really is a scary person.

Don't you want to change that kind of culture in the company?

Huh?

The way we do things is truly underhanded.

Once we're given orders, no one dares to say anything.

Don't you think it's time to change such antiquated tactics?

- It's impossible! - Once you get into the boss's bad books, you're finished.

Nitta-san, you'd better refrain from coming up with weird ideas.

Any news about Kinomoto-san after that?

- Nothing in particular. - I see.

In that case, can I look at Kinomoto-san's computer?

I'll prepare it immediately.

Hm... Doesn't sound bad.

What business do you have with me?

The information leak...

That was my doing.

I'm sorry for that.

It's fine.

Usui instigated you to do it, anyway.

I... plan to crush Usui.

What?

We're holding a press conference.

When that happens, I plan to reveal to everyone that my company was the one

that leaked the information of Core Spark.

That way, Usui will have to step down, and you can regain your position.

Manami... is that okay?

Whether I oppose to it or not, if you do that, your position will...

I'm prepared for it.

However, my testimony alone is not enough.

Michika-san, do you know where Kinomoto-san is?

Kinomoto?

He dealt Usui directly, so he should have solid evidence.

I checked his mail history, but everything had been cleared out─

What's the point of fighting against him now?

I've come to a realization.

That there's no longer any point in seeking revenge.

Sorry, but please look for someone else.

I don't want to turn a blind eye anymore.

- Why did you come here? - You're...

simply running away from it.

All of them are just bloody hypocrites!

Sae-chan, aren't you different?

You can't run away from me.

What's going on? This is different from what we discussed earlier.

Quickly come back to us.

Everyone's waiting.

Izumi...

Sensei...

I'm so glad!

I'm so relieved!

Sensei, why are you...?

Sorry, I didn't realize it sooner.

About your mom's illness, and also about Kagami Sensei's son.

But you don't have to worry anymore.

Why did you come here?

Huh?

I...

was supposed to have broken up with you.

Don't worry about the money you took from Usui to break up with me.

I'll do something about your mom's treatment fees.

- And I also have a plan. I'll bring Usui down, and─ - Stop.

I've had enough already.

What do you mean?

I... regret back then.

If I had known,

I would have not done what I did.

I should be in a relationship where people give their blessings.

I don't want to be with you anymore.

Izumi...

You did the right thing by breaking up with him.

Your heart has chosen the correct path.

How are you feeling, Mom?

I hope you're properly going for treatment.

Yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine.

The radiation treatment is really effective.

I don't even need to be hospitalized.

- Really? - Really.

That's why, shall we slowly spend some time together? - What?

Let's live somewhere where nobody knows without thinking about anything.

Don't you agree?

Hello?

Masaki, I heard Izumi-san has regained consciousness.

Yeah.

All this happened because of my family.

I'm really sorry.

No...

I was the one who forced Izumi into a corner.

Everything has been a mistake all this time.

It's alright to make mistakes.

What?

When I first met you,

I was an ugly and terrible woman.

But I didn't regret it.
