[Maybe she should be lucky that she's practically turned her back on him to the point where she's about to leave because it's growing a lot more difficult to conceal any of her emotions.
She won't cry. In fact, she doesn't say anything for the longest time, before sighing.]
You don't get it. Not once did I want anyone's sympathy or forgiveness; I knew that I never deserved it. In fact, it would be so much better if you hated me. Wouldn't that be so much easier? After all, I did a terrible thing. I need to pay for my sins. That much I knew already.
I wasn't planning on running away. I said that already, didn't I? I'm not allowed to kill myself. I'm never allowed to. Because it won't erase the blood on my hands. It'd make me feel better, just for a little bit. But I can't atone for what I've done that way. It would be way too easy of a choice. I've never been able to make any choices myself. None of that matters, though. Not to you, or anyone else. They're just pretty words that I say to be convincing... to seem like I'm still human.
[Was she ever human to begin with? She recalls those words... that the one with the demon is Mion. She was Mion. She was supposed to have the demon, not her sister.
That's why she committed those crimes, not just because of some stupid disease.
Maybe she should stop pretending to be human. He might not think she isn't, but Mio knows better.]
Just forget about me. Forget everything I've said before today. All you need to see isn't the kind, but playful Sonozaki Mio. She never existed to begin with. She's dead. All you need is to never forgive the horrible Sonozaki Mio. To hate her because of what she's done. Because it's a sin that can never be undone.
I'm finished talking.
[She isn't allowed to say anything more than that. Anything more and she won't be able to do what she has to in order to atone. Which is why she doesn't hesitate. And she finally, finally walks away.]
