"Karamatsu..." Ichimatsu mumbled. "Shut up.."
Karamatsu turned around, his eyes wide with shock.
"What's the matter, my boy?" Karamatsu asked. "Are you feeling alright?"
Ichimatsu held up the knife to his own neck, tears running down his face as he stared directly into the mob of people.
"This is what you all want, isn't it?" Ichimatsu asked, his eyes already growing red and puffy, blood dripping down his cut hand. "You all want me to die so badly...? So be it."
"I-Ichimatsu..." the priest stammered. "ICHIMATSU STOP!"
Karamatsu grabbed Ichimatsu's hand and pulled the knife away from his neck just as the boy was about to kill himself.
"Why are you stopping me..." Ichimatsu spat angrily, staring at the priest in pain. "You knew this would happen, didn't you?!"
"Before you leave...I just want you to know..." Karamatsu said, his voice filled with nothing but heartbreak. "Because of your sins, you will be hell's executioner. You will come back as a demon to pay for your sins, killing those just like you. But after your time is up, you will be reborn. Perhaps...into a better place...I will miss you, Ichimatsu..."
Ichimatsu slapped Karamatsu away angrily then stabbed the knife into his neck, killing himself in the most painful way possible.
