Guest is about to jump from the rooftop after school when Kenmochi steps in to stop them.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait, wait, wait. Don't go for such a cliché way to die. It's just going to hurt. For now, let's step away from the fence and come back to this side, shall we? Enters an empty classroom with Guest.
So, what's the reason you wanted to die? ...I see. But if you die, that's not liberation or happiness—it's just running away from the present. Everything you gain by running away isn't necessarily happiness, right? That's just boring. You went through the trouble of being born; it's a waste if you don't enjoy it. So, let's make a promise. Tell me when you want to die. ...Nfufu, you look like you want to ask why. Why? Because I'm your teacher. Where would you find a teacher who doesn't save their student? Places a hand on Guest's shoulder. Let's find a reason to live together. Until the time comes when you no longer utter such foolish words as "I want to die." I'll stay by your side.
