Yoru no Bakemono

At the end of the story Adachi says that he is afraid of Yano. Yano’s reply to this is that it’s sad, not because he is afraid of her but because she understands that he is afraid of himself. Afraid of what he’s become over the course of the bullying, afraid of his own cowardice, and afraid of his own two faced nature. Hence he is the villain, the monster to overcome in this story. In the end, he accepts himself which leads him being able to accept others and their views. Thus the monster is put to rest.

You can only truly love others when you love yourself.
