Chapter Text
おはよう, 希望ヶ峰学園。
I don't know my own name.
It's not that don't remember, it's just that I wish I could forget. Who I was. What I've done.
The irreversible pain and suffering I've unleashed upon the world.
A world that was so cruel to me, yet, I tried giving them all I could. I worked myself to death, day and night, trying to create something that would save everyone. Making the world "perfect" was all I ever wanted to do.
I only lived to create.
I lived in hopes of creating something greater than I knew I would ever be.
頑張ります。
Now I just want it to end.
My memories of Hope's Peak, my excitement when I first put pen to paper, meeting the only true friend I ever had. I want it gone. It would be insulting to have such kindness living in my worthless mind.
I don't deserve them, and they don't deserve to worry about me.
それは真実ですか？
分からない。。。
I don't know anything. I didn't know my life's work would become my very downfall.
I only exist to fix what I've done. I feel like if I had dropped dead sooner, then none of this would've happened.
I can't even live for myself.
大丈夫ですか？
分からない。。。
But, I can't die.
Not yet. I have to live. I have to live. I have to keep living for the sake of others.
As long as I'm alive, I can fix it. I can fix everything I've done. I can restore true hope to the world.
希望？ 絶望？ いずれにせよ、独りでいる。
Even if the only hope I feel is in starting over again. Running away from my past like the coward I am.
I can't stop, I won't stop. Not until I've rid the world of this despair. Even when I know it's all my fault. It's all my fault and mine alone.
This is my burden to carry.
逝きたい。死にたい。
This is my despair.
Goodbye, Hope's Peak High School.
