Tsukumo hands Wakui Masakazu a fMRI scan film.
Wakui: What is that?
Tsukumo: This is the state of Megumi-san’s brain as she was shown a picture of you. Can you see that the amygdala is active? This…is where you see a tremendous reaction in the brain, when a person is shown someone they love. Before you can think about it, unconsciously, this area will react. Take it. (walks to the window and looks at Gotou Megumi, who stares back blankly)
It’s said that it might be the true form of that emotion we call “love”.
I’m sure…that your brain would appear the same way, wouldn’t it? (Wakui looks up) After all… you hesitated, didn’t you? (flashback to scene of attack. Wakui’s hand holding the weapon stops in mid-air.) …and so…you couldn’t kill her…
Gotou: Ma…what’s wrong?
Wakui looks at her with a pained look. Flashback of past memories of Gotou.
Wakui: Nothing…it’s nothing. (He cries and grips the film tightly.)
