Utaha Kasumigaoka had stayed behind because she wanted to see what this newly transferred classmate—who showed no warmth toward anyone and seemed like a Snow Woman—wanted to say to her. She was also curious about what could have happened that would make someone still radiate hostility after so long. So, the moment Yukino Yukinoshita spoke, Utaha listened attentively.
"One person underwent a drastic personality change, dozens—perhaps hundreds—of students were psychologically scarred, several teachers suffered social death, and an entire school shut down. This was the disaster caused by an elementary school student named Sogo Doma!" Yukino Yukinoshita stated the facts.
Utaha Kasumigaoka: !!!∑(Дノ)ノ
I've read a lot. You can't fool me—an elementary school student could do something like that?
"Let me ask this: Sogo said that he isolated the entire class as soon as he transferred there. Was he lying?" Utaha Kasumigaoka asked doubtfully.
Yukino Yukinoshita: "That is indeed true..." She could not lie.
Utaha Kasumigaoka: (⊙⊙)
"Snow Woman, what you said doesn't fit either logic or reality. Could an elementary school student isolated by his entire class really do something like that?"
Yukino Yukinoshita's expression darkened slightly. How was she supposed to know what methods that guy had used? Although it had ultimately been said that someone named Honekawa had taken the lead, she was certain that was not the truth!
"Kasumigaoka, you used the wrong words. That guy wasn't isolated by the entire class—he isolated the entire class!" She could only approach it from that angle.
Utaha Kasumigaoka: (￢_￢)
Should I say that they really were from the same school? The things they cared about were actually so similar. Besides, what was the difference between one person isolating the whole class and being isolated by the whole class?
"Kasumigaoka, do you know what real isolation is?" Yukino Yukinoshita
