    I killed her because she didn’t want to have a relationship with me. I liked her

    yep, loved her to death. she was right to refuse you but could have been smarter about where, when and how you told her. why go to his house?

    To whom it may concern.

    I Katsuyuki Daigo did this. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
