"I understand a little better." Seiji fell silent for a moment before speaking up again. "To you, a tragic story… any tragic story in the world is probably 'interesting.'"
Deriving joy from other people's pain.
There were plenty of such people in the world. Or, perhaps it should be said that it was common for humans to have such negative emotions.
Some people would openly display their joy in other people's tragedy. Some people would only display it on the internet. Some people would only display it towards animals rather than humans. Some people wouldn't display it openly, but would secretly laugh in their minds…
It was quite normal to have such negative emotions. As long as one didn't lose control of their emotions, that person would still be a normal person. However, Itsuki Kamitani had obviously left the realm of "normal" long ago.
Kamitani chuckled yet again.
