First time poster, long time lurker.
Upon reading this part I thought it was incredibly interesting
Quote:
From a psychological perspective
men do it for social standing, or fame, or even to make a lover forever theirs,
women do it to escape from somebody who keeps them bound
and most undiscriminate killers do it out of a suicide wish,
they recreate themselves in a way that they are worthy of death and commit murder to give themselves determination to end it.

While we already knew beforehand that Sayo had gender issues, Ikukko was able to identify almost all of his/her motives and assign a gender towards each motive. Even ignoring the gender issues, she identified how Sayo made herself into a culprit, so the murder-suicide looks justified.
This is especially odd, when judging by the narrative it looks like to confession bottle hasn't been opened yet (assuming she was going to open it with Tohya. Without the images it's hard to tell.)

Nevermind, it looks as though Ikuko did read the book, judging by your description.
Incidentally, as my 2nd post here, I wanted to thank you for bringing us up to date with manga translations, I'm sure everybody greatly appreciates it.
