While visiting a member of a bereaved family, Hanzawa remembers the first time he met Hiyakawa. It was over a decade ago and Hiyakawa had been a child then. He'd said that he'd seen many people destroyed by the power of belief and that he believed that he would one day encounter a destiny meant just for him.
When he was young, after his mother had discovered his abilities, Hiyakawa had been placed in a symbolic position within a special group called the Palm of the Hand Research Society.
I'm not justifying what my dad did, 
or defending it in any way, but...
...لا أبرّر ما فعله أبي، أو أدافع عنه البتّة، لكن
Ich versuche nicht, die Handlungen meines Vaters
zu rechtfertigen, denn es ändert sich ja eh nichts.
aunque nunca justificaré ni defenderé
lo que hizo mi padre.
aunque nunca justificaré ni defenderé
lo que hizo mi padre.
Je sais
que je ne pourrai jamais réparer
Non riuscirò mai a giustificare mio padre
o a prendere le sue difese per ciò che ha fatto.
Não estou justificando o que meu pai 
fez, nem defendendo de forma alguma,
Я, конечно, 
ничуть не оправдываю своего отца…
