*** A police investigation told his parents that he committed suicide because of "abusive parents," to his mother's heartbreak. Eventually, she discovers Kiritaka's journals and learns the truth, swearing revenge and throwing away her life for it. And it's basically clear that since his death, the demons that killed him had free reign to destroy the lives of his classmates–exactly what he wanted to prevent.
*** His father Taiichiro became an outcast with his colleagues at the police, who believe he was an abusive parent, despite the claims being untrue. The father was broken by his son's death and the divorce from his wife. While his mother is avenging his death by slowly systematically dismantling the bullies' lives and torturing them to death, it's clear that she's been utterly destroyed by his murder, has become a broken shell, and will likely lose her sanity as well as her life once her revenge is complete. Kiritaka, enduring all the torture and sacrificing his life, essentially accomplished nothing but destroying his family, his mother, and any chance his victimizers would see true justice.

** Kiritaka Nagare was a good kid with loving parents and was especially closed to his mother. One day, he saw one of his classmates being tortured by a group of satanic bullies, so he took the classmate's place to protect him. Kiritaka was tortured for months; one of the bullies framed him for stealing her gym clothes, which ostracized him from his classmates, so he endured the torture alone. He suffered a traumatizing series of events to take down those whom he rightfully sees as demons by exposing them to the public, and the only one left to show his true nature is Okaya, but his actions ultimately didn't accomplish what he wanted, and the first chapter ended with his death that destroyed his family.
*** It is unknown why Kiritaka never went to the teacher about his bullies, but he kept quiet about his torture with his parents because he didn't want to worry his mother while he gathered evidence to turn the bullies in to the police. But tragically, all he endured not to worry his mother and turn in his bullies to the police turns out to be for nothing because, after months of torture, Kiritaka was forced by the bullies to jump onto the road by threatening to post a fake pornographic video of his mother. He jumps and breaks his legs. When his mother sees him on the road with crushed legs, he tearfully calls out for her, then he's hit by a truck and dies, making his determination not to worry her completely meaningless.

Kiritaka, enduring all the torture and sacrificing his life, eventually accomplished nothing but his death and destroying his family, along with destroying his mother, the one person he loves more than anything in the world.

* The Nagare family was once a happy family of a father, a mother, and a son; the three had a great relationship. But then it's revealed that the son Kiritaka is being bullied; [[BullyBrutality the bullying he suffers is beyond normal bullying]], being closer to inhumane torture. Eventually, he is killed, [[NeverSuicide and his death is ruled as suicide]], with it being blamed on [[AbusiveParents abuse from his parents]]. The mother Mari discovers the truth of Kiritaka's death, and that [[FrameUp the bullies framed his death as suicide]]; [[ThisIsUnforgivable she snaps]], [[GriefInducedSplit leaves her husband]], and throws away her life in the name of revenge. Later, when the father Taiichiro reappears, it's revealed that his life was destroyed by Mari leaving him, and [[ItsAllMyFault he believes his son's suicide was his own fault for his neglect]]. He has become an outcast with his colleagues because of rumors of him abusing his son, with him only having one friend. Okaya's gang destroyed a once happy family without remorse, and they continue to ruin their classmates' lives without remorse in the present.
* Mari Nagare/Maria Akeboshi is a broken woman who was destroyed by her son's death. She was once happily married and had a loving relationship with her son and husband. She has dreams of being a school nurse but put that on hold to be a mother to her son, and it's clear that she has no regrets about letting go of that dream for her son. It was revealed that she grew up an orphan and was bullied, but a school nurse showed her kindness, and it was implied that the nurse's kindness positively affected her. She grew up to be a mother and a housewife and was happy with her life. Then she saw her beloved son die and could do nothing to hold his body. A police investigation told her that her son's death was a suicide because of abusive parents, leaving her heartbroken. Then she read her son's journal and learned the truth that bullies tortured him for months, and they caused his death. She snaps and throws away her marriage and her previous life, gets a new identity, and two years later, she becomes a nurse at the bully's school to get revenge. Maria succeeds in killing her son's murderers, but it is clear that even if she murders her son's bullies after torturing them physically and mentally, it's clear that Maria isn't getting any enjoyment out of it despite the bullies showing themselves to be scumbags that deserve their fate. She knows they must be punished, but she also knows that this won't bring her son back and that she has sacrificed everything else in her life for the sake of revenge. It also shows that Maria is mentally unwell, and while she gets revenge for her son, it will likely cost her her sanity and life.
* At the beginning of the story, we see the tragedy of Kiritaka Nagare, a good kid with good intentions who suffered a traumatizing series of events to take down those whom he rightfully sees as demons, but his actions ultimately didn't accomplish what he wanted, and the first chapter ended with his death that destroyed his family.
** Kiritaka came from a good family with loving parents and was especially close to his mother.

** A police investigation told his parents that he committed suicide because of abusive parents to his mother's heartbreak. Eventually, she discovers Kiritaka's journals and discovers the truth, swearing revenge. She promises that she will give the demons to take her son away judgment because revenge would be too soft. His mother throws away her life, divorces his father, cuts ties with her workplace and friends, gets plastic surgery, and, after two years, becomes a nurse at his old school where his bullies are. And it's basically clear that since his death, the demons that killed him had free reign to destroy the lives of his classmates, which implies what he wanted to prevent.

*** The tragedy of seeing a good person tortured and ostracized from what he rightfully sees as demons and enduring all that alone, believing that he can turn them in only to die because of those demons, and he died in front of his mother, who Kiritaka did not want to worry only for her to have to witness his death which destroyed her. And throughout the story, the readers had to witness the torture he had to go through.

** [[PsychoSupporter Yuda expresses his desire to join Maria]] and his willingness to let her use him [[MustMakeAmends as redemption for Kiritaka]]; Maria has a miserable look on her face. Previous chapters hinted that [[VengeanceFeelsEmpty she takes no satisfaction in her revenge]], and even though [[AssholeVictim she's killing monsters that are irredeemable and deserve to die]], [[IAmAMonster she has no delusions that she's a good person or doing good]]. She probably doesn't want to drag someone else in her revenge and ruin that person's life, but it looks like she has no choice. Clearly, she's not happy about the situation and would probably feel guilty about dragging someone down with her for her revenge.

** As Yuda explains how he learned that Maria is hunting the bullies that murdered her son, we see a Flashback where Akihiro sees Maria's shrine to her son Kiritaka Nagare; Akihiro looks heartbroken seeing the pictures of his deceased friend who had protected him and who he feels he let down.

* Months later in his house, he witnessed the bullies being all happy, ultimately [[RageBreakingPoint snapping]] because those demons that tortured him and his friend [[KarmaHoudini were still having happy lives without consequences]], so he trained himself to be a killer to torture them. [[StalkerWithoutACrush He followed Kowase to brutally murder him]], but his trauma had scared Yuda so much he couldn't do it.

* The revelation that Yuda was Kiritaka's friend and the fact that he felt guilty because even though his friend wanted to protect him, he also wanted to protect him but was too afraid to confront the bullies after what they did. When he sadly saw Kiritaka's bruises, he told him to run away from the bullies too. Surprisingly for him, he didn't want to, stating that he wanted to become a detective and report bad people. This is a heartbreaking reminder that Kiritaka's goal, in the end, wasn't achieved, and he will never become a detective like he always wanted.
* Yuda was at Kiritaka's funeral, heartbroken and felt guilt for his death. Judging how there is numerous snow covering his hair and his shoulder, he probably stayed there for a long time. Then his murderer Okaya talked to him and had the nerve to ask why Kiritaka killed himself. His question and meeting the source of his trauma understandably caused Akihiro to have a breakdown, becoming a recluse and once tried to choke himself to death in order to escape his unfortunate life.
** The chapter's title "TRAITOR" may refer to how Yuda saw himself. Even though he understandably couldn't confront Okaya's gang despite wanting Kiritaka to be safe and being protected by him, he didn't do much to try to help him aside from saying he should run away too. His friend's death must have making him felt so much remorse.

This flashback is heartbreaking because we, the reader, know that Kiritaka's sacrifice ultimately became meaningless, and he will never become a detective like he always wanted.

* In this chapter, we see the reappearance of two victims from Nozomu Okaya gang of demonic bullies, and the reader sees how they are still dealing with the trauma those demons did to them.

!!!Chapter 20 Culprit

* Yajima, a teenage girl who was made to be a personal slave by Kowase because [[CaughtOnTape he caught her on video shoplifting]]. This poor girl has to pay Kowase money to keep him quiet and deal with his beatings and sexual harassment. Yajima may have shoplifted, but that is nothing compared to what Kowase is doing to her.

* Being beyond stressed by Kowase's torment, Yajima goes to the infirmary for a little rest, where Maria encourages her to open up about her troubles. Yajima's words make it clear that, after everything Kowase has put her through, she's essentially internalized that she ''[[KarmicNod deserves]]'' to be bullied [[DisproportionateRetribution for shoplifting once]]. Maria responds by playing along with her "IHaveThisFriend" schtick and promises to protect her if things become unbearable. [[BrokenTears Yajima starts sobbing after hearing this]] while Maria can't help but [[CloseToHome picture her own son in Yajima's place]], as if wondering how much pain he was hiding from her.
* And when Yajima is kidnapped by Kowase and taken to his home, where he starts drowning her, she finally has enough and states that she doesn't care about him blackmailing her with his video of her shoplifting, feeling that her future being destroyed is better than dealing with him for another day and angrily tells him to get out of her life, Kowase's tries to drown her in response with the implication that he plans on killing her, as she falls unconscious, she dreams of Maria, thankfully Maria arrives just in time to save her and make sure that Kowase's never hurts her or anyone ever again.

* When Kowase realizes that [[MyGodYouAreSerious Maria is not joking about killing him by drowning him]], he attempts to talk her down to escape his predicament. Kowase insists that he was just fooling around with Yajima, and while he was [[{{understatement}} a little rough]] with her, [[BlatantLies he would've stopped if Yajima had told him to]]; but because she said nothing, [[NotIfTheyEnjoyedItRationalization that means it wasn't such a big deal]]. We see a flashback with Yajima in her underwear [[HeroicBSOD with a broken face]], with the implication that [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil he forced her to have sex with him]]. This monster abused this poor girl, [[DiggingYourselfDeeper and his poor attempt at an excuse only shows that he doesn't even really believe that what he did was wrong]]. As Maria listens to him, [[CloseToHome she remembers how her own son suffered the abuse in silence]] because he did not want to worry her. Fed up with Kowase's bullshit, Maria kicks the door and tells him to shut up.

* Kowase got what he deserved and drowned to death; at no point was he made sympathetically, or was the reader ever made to sympathize with him despite how horrifying his death was because of how much of a scumbag he is. In his last thoughts, Kowase showed how much of a scumbag he was when he revealed that he wanted to get rich by abusing women. Maria herself said that his greatest crime was being born and not what he did to her son, an understandable sentiment considering what he had done to both Yajima and Kiritaka and possibly countless other people, which perfectly describes what kind of useless scumbag Kowase is and how everyone else is better off without him. The real tragedy is that Maria herself takes no joy in his death despite what a monster he is; she quietly disposes of his corpse by chopping up his body before burning what's left of him in a barrel. As she is doing all of this, she has a flashback to her happier time with her son and husband; she starts to shake before she calms herself down, stating that there are four to go. A monster that deserves to die has been defeated, and an innocent girl has been saved, but Maria takes no joy in what she has to do to get revenge for her son; we are reminded that Maria's vengeance has a cost, and she herself doesn't take any satisfaction in it, even if these monsters get what they deserve the damage done to Maria and her family is permanent even if they get what they deserved.

** Another layer of tragedy to add to this is the fact that maybe it's not completely Atsuki's fault that they had free reign to destroy lives. While Atsuki didn't notice the crimes of Kowase and Shikimi and admitted that he should've paid more attention to them, they themselves were very good at covering their tracks, while two of their victims, Kiritaka and Yajima, kept quiet about the abuse they were suffering. It's unknown why Kiritaka never went to a teacher for help, but it is known that he didn't want to worry his mother about the abuse he was suffering, and Yajima admitted that she believed that she deserved the abuse because she was caught shoplifting. Imagine how different the story would be if they went to Atsuki for help: here's a good man and a good teacher who will probably help his students, but because he's in the dark about their problems, he can't help them like he wants to. It is a tragedy that is all too frequent in the real world.

** Yajima reappears, and in contrast to her previous appearance, where she was hanging around a friend with a big smile on her face, she looks broken. Yajima wants to tell Maria something, and Maria [[OhCrap nervously]] begins to suspect that Yajima killed Iijima to help her, [[BaitAndSwitch only for Yajima to instead reveal]] that she was at Kowase's place when he disappeared, and she's afraid of becoming a suspect, so she didn't tell the police. Maria encourages her not to go to the police not only to protect herself but to protect Yajima; while Yajima is surprised that Maria's being kind to her, insisting that she's a bad girl because of her shoplifting, Maria just hugs her and insists she already paid the price for that. Yajima then admits to Maria that she wishes Tsubasa Kowase would never be found, and despite everything he did to her, Yajima thinks that is a bad thought and [[IAmAMonster considers herself a bad child for thinking that]]. It's heartbreaking that even when Kowase is out of her life for good, he's still damaging her, and Maria notes that her negative feelings and trauma can twist her into being a murderer, speaking from personal experience.

** We get to see the reappearance of the kid that Kiritaka Nagare saved, who is named Akihiro Yuda. He appears to be a normal but quiet young man who works at a store, but then we see him having a fantasy about brutally murdering a rude customer. It's clear that the torture he suffered from Nozomi Okaya's gang left a mark on him, even if he escaped with his life.

** A police investigation told his parents that he committed suicide because of abusive parents to his mother's heartbreak. Eventually, she discovers Kiritaka's journals and discovers the truth, swearing revenge. She promises that she will give the demons to take her son away judgment because revenge would be too soft. His mother throws away her life, divorces his father, cuts ties with her workplace and friends, gets plastic surgery, and, after two years, becomes a nurse at his old school where his bullies are. And it's basically clear that since his death, the demons that killed him had free reign to destroy the lives of his classmates, which implies what he wanted to prevent. It's revealed that his father became an outcast with his colleagues at the police, who believe that he's an abusive parent, And his father's heart was broken by his son's death and the divorce from his wife. While his mother is avenging his death by slowly emotionally destroying the bullies and torturing them the same way they did him and then killing them, it's clear that she's been completely destroyed by his death and is a broken shell of the mother and woman she once was and will likely lose her sanity and life once her revenge is complete. Kiritaka, enduring all the torture and sacrificing his life, accomplished nothing but his death and destroying his family, along with destroying his mother, the one person he loves more than anything in the world.
