I know this is the safest place for me now. The mainland has declared me a fugitive.
That detective is snooping around here, too.
I doubt he's ever going to catch me, but I did enjoy that last-minute game of tag we played.
As an adversary, he does not disappoint. No matter what I do, he never gives up. He's always right behind me.
A true adversary... It's gratifying, in a way. Looking back, he might be the only person that's ever really challenged me.
...Anyway, our preparations are complete.
After the Kiraigou, we can finally put all this chaos behind us.
...Suddenly I'm reminded of that song. The one she used to hum to herself when we were kids.
I wonder if that's one of the things she's forgotten...
After the Kiraigou, maybe I'll get to see her hum to herself like that again, someday...
Sakuya, please hold on. We're almost there.
When this is all over, we can leave this island together. We can make up for all the time we've lost.
We can live together, just the three of us, in a quiet place where that song can flow.

ここが一番安全だということはわかっている。
本土に戻れば、俺は犯罪者だ。
あの刑事もこの島をかぎまわっている。
あんな男に捕まることは無いだろうが、
あの刑事とのギリギリの鬼ごっこも
今となっては面白い遊びだったな。
なにより、敵は裏切らない。
駆け引きはあっても、敵は常に敵だ。
あいつは、いつも純粋に
俺を捕まえようとしている。
純粋な敵がいる。
そのことが、うれしくさえある。
思えば、俺に真剣にぶつかってきたのは
あいつだけだったかもしれないな。
⋯ともあれ、準備は整った。
帰来迎が終われば、
姉さんは混沌から救われる。
今⋯ふと思い出すのは、
姉さんが幼いころ
口ずさんでいたあの曲だ。
姉さんも、あの曲を
忘れてしまったのだろうか。
帰来迎が終われば、
また口ずさむのを
見られるかもしれない⋯
姉さん、待っててくれ。
もうすぐだ。
儀式が終わったら、
俺とこの島を出よう。
失った時間は、ゆっくり取り戻せばいい。
あの曲が流れる静かな場所で
三人で暮らそう。
Additional Information
- This memo is part of a group of content that is available in both Chapters 7 and 10, but marked primarily as Chapter 10 due to its list numbering and placement.
- Because Choushiro is on the island but the Kiraigou has not yet failed, one can infer that this memo was written the day of the kagura.
- You Haibara's reference to "just the three of us" is one of several hints suggesting that Ayako is secretly the child of You Haibara and Sakuya Haibara.
