Teacher, Hitomi and others in “Unfinished Business”

-as such, you should memorize this. [Notices Yuri isn't paying attention to the lesson.] Nakamura, what are you looking at?

Hey, Yuri!

Yuri

Huh?

Alright, Nakamura. Read from the top of the next page for us. [Yuri stands up from her desk. There is a short pause.] Hm? What now?

Yuri

This is really wonderful.

What are you talking about?

Yuri

This is such a happy environment. It's too dazzling for me. This is the way people live their lives. Isn't it just beautiful? I'm envious. If I vanish now, could I start over anew? Could I accept normal happiness?

Nakamura?

Yuri?

Yuri

If I lost my memories...and got a different personality...I might be able to. But then, what does it mean to be reborn? That isn't the life I had anymore. It's someone else's life. Everyone only gets to live life one time [Yuri places her hand on her chest.], and it's right here. I only get it once. This is my life. I can't entrust it to someone, I can't steal a new one, I can't force it on others, I can't forget it or erase it. I can't stomp over it, laugh on it, or beautify it! I can't anything! I'd have to-I'd have to accept my one shot at life no matter how cruel, merciless, or unfair I thought it was! [Everyone in the class has disappeared, except for Yuri.] Sir, don't you understand? That is why I must fight. I must keep on fighting! Because...because I can never...[Slams her hands on her desk.] accept that kind of life!
