Manaka covered her ears and closed her eyes, feeling as if the world was about to end.
"Well now, Little Manaka."

"Living for others, it's so tiring."
"I've realized it, Little Manaka! Why didn't I understand sooner! More than everyone's happiness, I rather want, I want more..."
She saw Ayane lying in a pool of blood, her shoulders heaving uncontrollably, laughing heartily.
"—to make myself happy!"
Clatter, clatter, something was rolling on the ground. Manaka looked down and saw the instructor's head rolling like a ball through the pool of blood.
