It was just a dress that happened to sit in the back of a wardrobe, one he

casually forgot about, and just sold one day. That's all---- It was probably just like

picking up a coin that had fallen behind a bookcase for that man.

Yes.

This man was really useless.

My father was really no good.

I realized that.

At the bottom of my heart, I realized that.

That is why I decided to kill my father---- No, to be honest, it would be

hard for me to say I had such a strong level of decision as that. Really, that was

like the feeling of crushing a bug that had crawled behind a bookcase---- for me.

To use the term pest-control would actually be cheapening myself......

But if I think back and reflect upon it, and I ask myself why I didn't do it, why I

didn't kill that man and just left him alive, I can't find an answer.

Working day and night to earn this man money for liquor and for

medicine was enraging.---- And not to mention embarrassing.

What a mistake I've made.

That's what I thought.

My father was certainly a "taker

My mother was a "giver" and my father was a "taker

I understood that.

I understood--- and yet I did not.

The one being taken from was me.

Under my father, while I lived with him, I felt I was doing well enduring

as I have, cleverly and obstinately surviving. But I was wrong.

I was merely being exploited by him.

I finally realized I was just being taken advantage of and being treated

like a slave.

It was late, but I finally realized it.

No----- It should not have been too late. I should still have been in time.

That is why I decided to actually do it.
