イワンの分裂

  • 11: Ivan Splits in two

イワンは前日の出来事を書き留めようとしたが、書けば書くほど混乱。絶望を医師に慰められて落ち着き、ハタと気付く。
'That things are not quite proper here, even a child can understand. He's a one-hundered-per-cent outstanding and mysterious person! But that's the most interesting thing! The man was personally acquainted whith Pontius Pilate, what could be more interesting than that? And, instead of raising a stupid rumpus at the Ponds, wouldn't it have been more intelligent to question him politely about what happened further on with Pilate and his prisoner Ha-Nozri? And I started devil knows what! A major occurrence, really - a magazine editor gets run over! And so, what, is the magazine going to shut down for that? Well, what can be done about it? Man is mortal and, as has rightly been said, unexpectedly mortal. Well, may he rest in peace! Well, so there'll be another editor, and maybe even more eloquent than the previous one!'
…そこへバルコニーに謎の人物出現☆
