Fumio plays the other one.

From that day forward, I was a national disgrace.

I was known across the nation as a lecherous journalist who stalked schoolgirls and tried to throw a girl in prison to boost his own career.

I saw disgust in the eyes of every person who looked at me.

My house and my car were vandalized every day for weeks.

Needless to say, I was never able to work as a journalist again.

The police department that arrested the girl was also the subject of national criticism.

They were accused of being incompetent fools who would arrest anybody without sufficient evidence.

Ever since then, the police in that town have been extremely lenient in an attempt to repair their reputation...

...and don't want to go anywhere near the local high school except for extremely brief periods of time.

But the worst part of the entire experience didn't come from the media or the public.

Immediately after the trial, I tried to escape the press by hiding in an alley behind the courthouse.

''Only one person found me there. It wasn't a journalist or a reporter.''

It was the girl who had just been declared innocent.

''I'll never forget her face that day. She was smiling, but her face was blank.''

''Empty. Soulless. Like a doll's eyes.''

She looked like she didn't have a single ounce of humanity in her entire body.

<p style="margin:0in0in0.0001pt;line-height:15.75pt;">With that smiling face, she said to me...

<p style="margin:0in0in0.0001pt;line-height:15.75pt;">"It would be very easy to make your death look like a suicide. Don't ever cross me again."

<p style="margin:0in0in0.0001pt;line-height:15.75pt;">She turned around and left without another word.
