[It's a tale of inhuman things driven mad by jealousy--.
Welcome to the beginning of that.
That which is born out of feigned sympathy--self-righteousness.
That which arises out of envy--the feeling of jealousy.]
[Toluene--methylbenzene,
is an organic compound classified as an aromatic hydrocarbon.
Its chemical formula is C6H5CH3,
where a benzene has one of its hydrogen atoms replaced by a methyl group.
Under room temperature, it is volatile and inflammable,
so it's classified as a "Class 4, 1st kerosene" hazardous material (in Japan).
Under the Japanese Poison Control Law, it's considered a hazardous substance.]
[Since it is a type of poison,
it's something that's originally not needed at all.
That is, they will only keep losing everything they have--
their "self", others, and even their most precious self-respect--
They're nothing more than objects of people's ridicules.
Recognized by no one, they make themselves slowly disintegrate--.]
[Their "self", saturated with feigned sympathy
and pretentious logics and ethics,
only through condemning others...]

[Within the society of anonymity, they are beat up in stark nakedness.
The first cue that will cause a mass society to degenerate is jealousy.
Those who are involved are unaware of their involvement.
They are creatures who will destroy not only themselves, but also everything else.]
