Battle of the Elites

The measure of your resolve

Ichinose Monologue

"I-I'm sorry...."

Couldn't I have done anything?

No.... I can't do anything.

How could I?

What more could someone like me even do....

I'm a class leader and yet....

How am I supposed to stay strong?

I am so stupid....

To think I should appear strong for everyone.... I have no right.

I'm weak.

When push comes to shove, do I even make a difference?

I don't think so....

I try and try and try.

But to what end?

I'm just going to lose everyone....

'Why.... so, you can ask for help because you're too weak to help yourself?'

Ayanokoji-kun is right, I haven't changed. I just coped with everything. Put on a pretty smile while watching our class fall and my classmates suffer.

I was even willing to watch them be expelled if it meant saving Ayanokoji-kun.... at that time, I didn't care about anything else but myself.

I chose Ayanokoji-kun over my classmates.

My own feelings over my duties.

And.... I hate myself for still feeling like that....
