five years ago, something terrible happened. A student named Saki disappeared, and her classmates found out that she was a cannibal. The news shook the small town to its core, and the students at Good Hills High School were traumatized.
For five years, Saki was gone, and the town slowly moved on from the tragedy. But one day, she returned to the high school after completing her rehab in Kyoto. She was a changed woman, and she wanted to make amends for what she had done.
The news of Saki's return spread quickly, and the students were terrified. They remembered the stories of how Saki would lure her victims into the woods and devour them. They were afraid that she would come back and do the same to them.
The teachers at the high school tried to calm their students down and told them that Saki was a different person now. But no one believed them. The students were convinced that Saki was still a monster, and they wanted nothing to do with her.
However, there was one teacher at the high school who believed in Saki's innocence. Mr. Minamoto had been Saki's teacher before she disappeared, and he knew that she was a kind-hearted person. He had seen her struggle with her addiction to human flesh, and he had watched her fight to overcome it.
Mr. Minamoto decided to help Saki and prove her innocence to the students at the high school. He knew it wouldn't be easy, but he was determined to make it happen.
The first thing Mr. Minamoto did was talk to Saki. He wanted to know what had happened to her in the five years she was gone. Saki told him that she had spent most of her time in rehab in Kyoto, where she received intensive therapy and counseling. She had worked hard to overcome her addiction to human flesh, and she was now a vegetarian.
Mr. Minamoto was impressed by Saki's dedication to changing her life. He knew that she had a long road ahead of her, but he was confident that she could do it.
The next thing Mr. Minamoto did was talk to the other teachers at the high school. He told them about Saki's progress in rehab and asked for their support in helping her reintegrate into the school community. Some of the teachers were hesitant at first, but Mr. Minamoto convinced them that Saki deserved a second chance.
The hardest part of Mr. Minamoto's plan was convincing the students at the high school. They were still scared of Saki and didn't want anything to do with her. Mr. Minamoto knew that he had to find a way to change their minds.
He decided to hold a school assembly and invite Saki to speak. He hoped that if the students could see how much she had changed, they would be more willing to accept her.
Saki was nervous about speaking in front of the school. She knew that everyone was afraid of her, and she didn't want to scare them even more. But Mr. Minamoto reassured her and told her to speak from her heart.
When Saki took the stage, the entire school fell silent. She looked out at the sea of faces, and she could see the fear and mistrust in their eyes. But she took a deep breath and began to speak.
"I know that you're all afraid of me," Saki said. "And I understand why. I did some terrible things in the past, and I can never undo them. But
I want you all to know that I'm not that person anymore. I've spent the last five years in rehab, working hard to overcome my addiction to human flesh. It was a long and difficult journey, but I'm proud to say that I'm now a vegetarian."
Saki looked out at the students, hoping to see some signs of understanding. But most of them just stared back at her with blank expressions.
"I know it's hard to believe me," Saki continued. "But I want to make things right. I want to be a part of this school again, and I want to prove to you all that I'm a changed person. I know I can't change the past, but I can work towards a better future."
After Saki finished speaking, there was a moment of silence. Then, one by one, a few students started to clap. It was a small gesture, but it gave Saki hope that maybe, just maybe, some of them were willing to give her a chance.
Over the next few weeks, Mr. Minamoto worked tirelessly to help Saki reintegrate into the school community. He set up meetings with the other teachers to discuss how they could support her, and he even arranged for her to attend counseling sessions with the school psychologist.
At first, Saki still felt like an outsider. Most of the students still avoided her, and some even whispered behind her back. But Mr. Minamoto never gave up on her, and he always reminded her that it would take time.
Slowly but surely, things started to change. Some of the students began to approach Saki, asking her questions about her time in rehab and how she managed to overcome her addiction. Saki was always honest and open with them, and over time, they started to see her as a person rather than a monster.
One day, a group of students even invited Saki to join them for lunch. It was a small gesture, but it meant the world to her. For the first time in five years, Saki felt like she belonged somewhere.
Despite the progress that Saki had made, there were still a few students who refused to accept her. They would whisper things behind her back and give her dirty looks in the hallways.
One day, Saki overheard a group of students talking about her. They were saying that they didn't believe she had changed, and that they were convinced she was still a cannibal.
Saki felt like she was back to square one. She had worked so hard to try and prove her innocence, but it seemed like some people would never be willing to accept her.
That's when Mr. Minamoto stepped in. He organized a meeting with the students who were still hesitant about Saki, and he sat down with them to have an honest conversation.
He told them about Saki's progress in rehab, about how hard she had worked to change her life, and about how much she wanted to be a part of the school community again.
Mr. Minamoto also reminded them that Saki was still human. She had made mistakes, yes, but she deserved a chance to prove that she had changed. He asked the students to think about how they would feel if they were in her shoes.
It wasn't an easy conversation, and there were still a few students who refused to budge. But some of them started to see Saki in a different light. They started to realize that maybe she wasn't a monster after all, but just a person who had made some mistakes.
In the end, it wasn't a single conversation that changed everything. It was a combination of small gestures and acts of kindness that slowly but surely helped Saki to regain the trust and respect of the school community.
As the years went by, Saki continued to work hard and earn the trust of the Good Hills High School community. She graduated with honors and went on to study psychology at a university in Kyoto.
After her graduation, Saki decided to celebrate her achievements by inviting Mr. Minamoto to a dinner at her apartment. She wanted to thank him for everything he had done for her over the years.
Mr. Minamoto accepted the invitation and arrived at Saki's apartment that evening. As they ate their dinner, Saki couldn't help but feel grateful for Mr. Minamoto's unwavering support and guidance. She felt like she owed him so much.
But the next day, when Mr. Minamoto didn't show up for work, everyone began to worry. His family reported him missing, and the police launched an investigation.
Days turned into weeks, and there was still no sign of Mr. Minamoto. Saki was questioned by the police, but she had no information to offer. She was just as confused and concerned as everyone else.
Then, one day, a group of hikers stumbled upon a remote cabin in the woods. Inside, they found a gruesome sight - the remains of Mr. Minamoto's body, partially eaten.
The police investigated the scene and eventually found evidence that linked Saki to the crime. It seemed like she had lured Mr. Minamoto to her apartment, drugged him, and then murdered him.
Saki was arrested and taken into custody. She didn't deny her involvement in the crime, but she claimed that she had relapsed and couldn't control her cravings for human flesh.
The news of Mr. Minamoto's death spread quickly throughout the Good Hills High School community. Everyone was in shock and disbelief. They couldn't believe that the person they had come to know and trust had committed such a heinous crime.
In the end, Saki was convicted of murder and sentenced to asylum. Her case made headlines across the country, and people began to question whether her time in rehab had really been enough to cure her of her addiction. When asked, she smiled and said,
"I enjoyed his heart"
For the Good Hills High School community, the tragedy of Mr. Minamoto's death was a reminder that sometimes, no matter how much we want to believe in someone's redemption, there are certain things that can't be forgiven or forgotten.
