"No Exit" Jean-Paul Sartre
Wait!
Anthropologist Edward Hall divided personal space into four zones.
One of those is the "intimate space" zone, with the "close phase" therein.
This distance is close enough to embrace someone else,
and many resist intrusion into it.
That's way too hard, though!
However, there are exceptions.
Nah, I kinda like it.
I like a softer—
For instance, Kushida.
Did you see a girl wearing glasses?
Even if she gets very close, she manages not to trigger their personal space reaction.
Yet Sakura resisted her.
She's afraid of the connection.
That's why...
she keeps her eyes down.

Beneath the fading ultramarine, equality sets a trap
A hook is cast into my room
The shade mixes with the sunlight
Entropy begins to rise
As if to ask me,
"How will you choose to live with so few restrictions on your freedom?"
Step by step, little by little,
We're going to seize the sunlight

I'm terribly sorry to make you come with me for this.
I'm the one who should apologize.
I mean, I'm the one who broke the camera.
N-No, the fault was all mine...
This one's so cute!
You're going to the electronics store in the mall to fix your digital camera.
I understand that much...
But did you really need me?
Actually...
Ah, look at that. That's no good.
I see. It's a power issue.

Do you have your warranty? Your warranty...
Did you bring the warranty with you?
Oh, it's within the warranty period.
You could have the faulty part... replaced... free of charge.
I can see why this guy would be hard for Sakura, who's afraid of strangers, to deal with.
I guess she wanted strength in numbers.
Can you tell us how long it will take?
Two or three days. Yeah, two or three.

When the repairs are finished, please contact me instead.
H-Hey, you...
The camera belongs to her, doesn't it?
I'm not sure we can...
The manufacturer's warranty confirms the location and date of purchase.
You confirmed that warranty a few seconds ago.
I can't imagine how there could be a legal issue.
A-Are you sure?
Well, fine. I guess we'll do that.
Um...
I'm very grateful for your help today.
No problem. It was my own fault, anyway.
But, Sakura, you can talk normally with us, okay?
We are in the same grade.
Yeah, you've been talking all formal.
U-Um...
All right... S-Sure, I'll try.
No need to force it, either.
I-I'm okay.
One sec, okay?
I'm gonna go freshen up.
It's awkward being alone with her.
What's wrong, Sakura?
Is there something you wanted to—
Um...
What do you think would be the best thing to do?
Regarding Sudo?
You should do whatever you want to do.
Whatever I...
Yeah.
If I don't say anything, I think I'll regret it.
Why are you telling me this?
Your eyes weren't scary.
Eyes?
Sorry. It's hard to explain...
If you need advice, Kushida would be more amicable.
I mean, you've seen how she is.
Is it intuition?
She's grateful, but for some reason, she can't fully trust Kushida.
That's what it seems like.
You said you would regret it if you didn't say anything.
Yes.
I think that's the only answer you need, then.
"For Sudo." "For Kushida."
"For my classmates."
Throw away all of those thoughts.
Throw them all... away?
You don't have to burden yourself with all of that.
You should testify for your own sake.
For my... sake?
That's enough on its own.
Sorry for the wait.
W-Welcome back.
Well, think we should call it a day?
It is pretty late.
Yeah.
Can I come by your room later, Ayanokoji?
Huh?
Coming in!
What did you need to come all the way to my room for?
I was actually looking some things up on the Internet earlier.
Does this girl look familiar to you?
Is this Sakura?
It's hard to say just from the face and the build, but...
This picture was taken in one of our dorms.
So it is her!
And I thought it was strange that Sakura wore fake eyeglasses, too.
They're fake?
There was no distortion behind the lenses.
So she's trying to hide her face?
Is that why she wouldn't testify?
Sakura Airi
It's me, Sakura
It's from Sakura.
Let's see...
She says she might be able to help with Sudo!
I guess going with her today was worth it.
I'm glad she decided to trust us, but I wonder why...
Hey.
Ayanokoji, is there anything you're trying to hide?

Student Council Room
{Part B}
I've sent out the notification for the arbitration hearing
between Class 1-D and 1-C.
Oh?
Class D...
Huh?
What is it?
Did you spend your day off with Kushida?
Yeah, because of the thing with Sakura.
Though we couldn't get her word that she would share what she knows.
I see.
What's the matter?
What do you mean, what's the matter?
Well, you have quite the expression on your face.
Really? I don't agree.
This is how I always look.
Although I am impressed by how self-serving you've been lately.
You hesitate when I ask you for a favor,
but when Kushida asks, you comply immediately.
I'm attempting to analyze, rationally and carefully, the factors that account for the difference.
Well, it doesn't matter.
It doesn't?
What's more important is that the student council picked the day for Sudo's hearing.
When is it?
Today after class.
Student Council Room
We will now hold deliberations regarding the violent incident that occurred last Tuesday.
As Student Council Secretary, I, Tachibana, will preside.
The student council president, coming in over a little brawl like this?
Wonders never cease, I suppose...
Due to my busy schedule, there are some agendas I'm forced to miss participating in.
As a rule, though, I do attend.
So it's just a coincidence, is it?
Yes.
She wasn't expecting the president to be here.
Horikita can't bring out her full potential.
To both sides: I wish to ascertain which version of the events is the truth.
Is that acceptable?
Begin.
Komiya and the other two,
you insist you were called to the special annex by Sudo and then attacked by him.
Sudo denies this. He insists that Komiya was the one who called him there.
Your versions of the events are contradictory.
There is only one fact we can be certain of:
That the aggressor, Sudo, injured Komiya, Kondo, and Ishizaki.
They are the victims.
I'll admit that I hit them!
But they're the ones who started it!
I don't recall doing that.
Having the main discussion be about the injuries
You damn well did! I was only defending myself!
and giving Sudo free rein are both bad for us.
Horikita.
You just kept running your mouths!
You're jealous because I'm on the roster!
And at basketball practice, you always get in my—
Silence, please.
Without new testimony or evidence, we will proceed under these assumptions.
Is this acceptable?
It seems there was no need for discussion.
It's clear from the state of their injuries that the violence was one-sided.
I believe I should base my decision on that.
Class D's insistence that it was self-defense is contradicted by Sudo's lack of injuries,
and the condition of Ishizaki and the others.
Aya—
What?
S-Stop it! What are you—
When someone's spacing out,
a strong physical stimulus will snap them back to reality.
Hey!
If you don't fight, we're going to lose.
I beg your pardon.
I would like to question the witnesses.
May I?
President?
I'll allow it.
What were the circumstances under which Sudo called you out?
Answer me.
After practice ended, he said he wanted to talk to me.
And what was Ishizaki doing in the special annex with you?
He is not in the basketball club.
There was no reason for him to be there.
I... wanted insurance.
Insurance?
Everyone knows what a violent guy Sudo is. He's a big guy, too!
You thought he might attack you, then?
That's right!
That's a prepared response.
And so you brought Ishizaki, who had a reputation as being a strong fighter,
as a bodyguard?
I did it to protect myself!
I have some knowledge of martial arts myself.
Fighting multiple enemies increases the difficulty exponentially.
For you to be beaten so one-sidedly, especially with Ishizaki present,
makes no sense.
Well... that's just because we didn't want a fight!
If you had no desire to fight, and you weren't fighting back,
it's extremely unlikely that all three of you would be hurt.
That does sound like common sense.
Common sense doesn't apply when Sudo's involved!
He's an incredibly violent man!
There was a student who witnessed the entire fight.
Would the witness step forward, please?
Would the witness please state her name?
C-Class 1-D, Sakura Airi.
Please take your seat.
Okay...
Sakura.
I did see it.
The Class C students attacked Sudo first.
I'm... sure of it.
Sakura, was it?
If you really did see it, why didn't you step forward sooner?
Well... because...
Honestly, you Class Ds...
I'm just... telling the truth...
Sakura. Sakura Airi.
Are you sure you're not being forced to lie for the sake of your class?
To save Sudo?
That's not good.
The fact that Sakura is here proves that she really did witness the incident.
If she hadn't, she wouldn't be sitting here, even if we'd asked her to.
If we just needed someone to make a statement,
don't you think I would have chosen someone else?
Perhaps you chose to use someone like her to lend further credibility.
Credibility?
Stop twisting everything.
Sakura came here in good faith—
Stop taking advantage of your well-meaning
but weak-willed classmates.
That is not what I'm doing!
But look at her trembling!
Don't put any more burden on—
I have proof!
I do have... proof!
Please don't dig this hole any deeper.
This is proof that I was in the special annex that day!
Display it.
Okay.
That day... I was looking for somewhere deserted to take pictures of myself.
It's dated, too.
Dates on a digital camera can easily be altered.
It's rather insubstantial, as proof goes.
But, Mr. Sakagami, this picture is different.
With this...
I hope you will believe that I was there that day.
Thank you, Sakura.
I see.
It seems you were telling the truth about being present.
But we still don't know who instigated it.
It doesn't prove that you saw everything that went down, either.
But...
Might I propose a compromise?
A compromise?
Despite your pictures, you have no definitive proof.
However, it does appear that the Class C students may bear some responsibility...
A two-week suspension for Sudo,
and a one-week suspension for the Class C students. How about it?
The difference in punishment is based on the difference in harm done to them.
Without Sakura's testimony and evidence,
Sudo's suspension would have been a month or more.
It is quite a compromise.
Ms. Chabashira, what do you think?
It seems the conclusion has already been reached.
Sakura, you did very well.
That's that, then.
Then, Class D representative Horikita, please tell us your opinion.
Very well.
I believe that Sudo, the instigator of this incident, has a serious problem.
He never thinks about the trouble that his daily actions will cause those around him.
Incidents like this are inevitable.
Wh-Why you...
I want you to realize that it's your attitude that's at the root of all of this.
He should reflect, but not about this incident.
I mean that he should re-evaluate the person he has been in the past.
Horikita?
In regards to the incident we're discussing right now,
I believe that Sudo is free of guilt.
Because this was not an unfortunate incident that just happened to take place,
but an intentional set-up instigated by Class C.
I assert Sudo's complete innocence in the matter.
An intentional set-up?
How funny.
I think the president's little sister is—
As the witness testified, Sudo is a victim.
Please make the correct judgment.
We're the victims, Mr. President!
Shut the hell up! Listen up—
As I thought, this was a waste of time.
Everything you say is completely at odds.
Which means that one side is offering false testimony.
I agree.
Let me ask Class C.
Can you say with absolute certainty that your testimony here today is the truth?
Y-Yes, of course!
What about you, Class D?
Certainly.
Then I'll give my judgment tomorrow at 4:00.
If I receive no proof of your opponents' lies,
or admissions of your own guilt by then,
I'll be putting expulsion on the table, as well.
That is all.

But...
Student Council Room
You're still here?
When you showed up with Suzune, I assumed you had some strategy in mind.
I'm neither Zhuge Liang nor Kuroda Kanbei.
I have no strategy.
So Suzune went rogue in proclaiming his innocence, then?
I guess it's a wild idea, huh?
It is.
Sakura, was it?
Yes.
If you can't prove it, it's just a lie.
Your mask is nothing but a shackle.
I... I only told the truth...

I've locked away the real me with a false smile
Hidden and closed away, visible to no one
I'll be fine alone
The world will continue to test you,
Ripping off your wings of freedom
Now, to your never ending daily life, to your battlefield,
There's no reason to hesitate
In our dreams that we could never give up on
The scenery that we seized together shined so brilliantly
Even if you abandon your solitude, you'll still be you
