Atsushi being fucking dumb by not appeasing the Dad by telling him he did TRY to save Rika. and in fact he also saved Rika from burning alive so technically he did save Rika in the end. He could've gotten a lighter beating or the Dad would've let him go and his friend would've survived somehow. (unless the Dad realize Okayan also raped Rika)
Also did the Doctor just tell the News about Rika being Raped? seriously no patient confidentiality? how did the school know? wasnt it a secret between the doctor and the dad? the only public news was the burning of the house and 2 bodies. not Rika's condition. How'd that info get out?!
