Chapter 8 - 7 Abnormality of High Score: Hearing from Someone_2
"And then there's my good friend, Anderson. I've saved up some money, but I guess I won't have the chance to use it."
"Anderson is a good man; in this building, he's the only one who talks to me regularly. Even though he's busy, he still makes time to keep me company during his busiest moments."
"Using my money on myself would be a waste. I should leave some money for him... maybe it'll help him live a better life."
"Lastly, to my mother. I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I'll be leaving before you..."
"Mom, I love you, I love you so much. I hope you can live a long and healthy life, even though you too are tormented by illness..."
"What saddens me even more is that I probably won't be able to make money anymore. I'm running out of time."
"I've always listened to you. I've been eating well. My stomach illness definitely wasn't caused by starving, definitely not. I don't even know how it came about."
"I've been living quite well, I just suddenly fell ill."
"But I'll try my best to tidy myself up and look healthy when I see you one last time."
When it came to his mother, Jack's words were somewhat insincere. He feared that after his death, his mother would blame herself, thinking he got the stomach illness because he hadn't eaten properly.
In fact, he had often gone hungry and was emaciated. But he didn't want his mother to think that.
