Tanezaki Suteru was abandoned by his parents due to his "tainted blood", and was raised at an orphanage. Due to the hideously deformed features he had been born with, he was rejected by almost everyone throughout his life. To him, his ability to read minds was not a divine gift, but a shackle that caused the sheer disdain of his peers to torment him even more.
When he got older, Suteru enrolled at Kibo Academy, where he faced even harsher discrimination.
Used as an outlet for the stress of the whole academy, he was just barely allowed to exist at the very bottom of the class hierarchy.
He was beaten and harassed for no particular reason, and all his belongings were dirty and reeked of a foul stench.
One afternoon, under the light of the setting sun, a classmate of Suteru faked a confession of love towards him, extinguishing the one glimmer of hope he still had left.
His anger had overwritten his fear, causing him to take drastic measures in order to break free from the status quo. However, this was merely an act of reckless resistance from a lone person.
He snuck into a changing room to exact his revenge, but was soon captured when he hid himself inside a locker.
Retaliation came swift and sure. He was almost killed by someone whose very bread and butter was violence, lost all sense of dignity, and was no longer even viewed as human by those around him.
He had no friends left, and no one to come to his aid. His mind and body soon broke under the heavy weight of despair.
As the world's hatred of him reached its peak, he gave up on being human, much like those around him had wanted. His entire being was swept over by an unprecedented feeling of exaltation. He accepted it and reveled in it. The waves of hatred that once tormented him now became his strength.
Wielding the same violence that once oppressed him, he similarly robbed everyone at the academy of their very dignity, all the while being guided by the intoxicating pleasures of revenge.
By the time the police arrived, having grown suspicious of not being able to contact anyone from the academy, there were no longer any survivors left. People were lying near the entrances and lockers, almost as if they had been unable to get out of the building. In the end, no amount of searching could uncover the culprit. His trail went cold in front of the student council room. And ever since then, not a soul had seen Tanezaki Suteru again.
Rumors of the tragic event soon began to spread, and Kibo Academy was inevitably closed. The incident eventually faded from people's memories, but the unpleasant echoes of wet, watery sounds never once stopped. He is probably still there, searching amidst the mist and broken fences of the academy, looking in vain for the one person who truly loved him.
