So for the Aphorism manga Vol. 4 summary...
This is for chapter 11 of Vol. 4. Most likely I will post 1 or 2 chapter summaries each day.
Click on the 'Aphorism' tag at the bottom of the post for more Aphorism manga summaries.
(btw, THIS IS MY FIRST POST WHICH INCLUDES PICTURES. Yaaaay. The pictures are from 99mh, because I'm too lazy to take photos of my bought manga.)
Chapter 11 (38 pages)

The above link was the previous summary of Chapter 11. (my attempt of translating the chinese version of the chapter) My translation was better than expected, as almost everything was correct; one part was omitted though, when comparing it to the English version of chapter 11.
So for past viewers of the above link, it's highly recommended you read this version of the summary, as it's more organised and easier to understand. (By the way, the one part I omitted in the previous summary due to lack of understanding is Hinata's conversation with his sister.)
- The chapter starts off with Tomonaga squishing (with his foot) Rokudo's ripped out heart, after questioning why it's still beating.
Next scene is Rokudo being confirmed dead, heart missing, but cause of death unknown. (lolwut) The body-packers seal Rokudo up in a body-bag, then transport him to their truck. Aira cries in distress, after seeing Rokudo's body driven away, shouting his name all the while.
Hinata's sister suddenly shows up on the monitor, telling Hinata to go die for insulting her. (lol) Hinata immediately humbles down at her presence.
Hinata's -elder- sister's name is Toko Horai, person-in-charge of Naraka High.
Hinata tells his sister, Toko, that she should've received his report of the current situation by now. Toko says she's seen it and what to do about Izuru Tomonaga is under deliberation. Hinata demands at least background info on Tomonaga, and is told that the guy has a sibling and parents that get along perfectly well.Hinata suggests that they use Tomonaga's parents as hostages/bait. Illegal, his sister reminds him, but Hinata reminds her that Naraka High is beyond legit, the irony of it all. Toko asks him to calm down, and says she knows his roommate (Rokudo) was killed too. Hinata swears that he'll get revenge on Tomonaga for killing Rokudo right in front of his eyes.
The room goes quiet. Toko breaks the silence by saying that Tomonaga has a deceased elder brother, which Hinata deems as useless information, until Toko says his elder brother's body is in 'that place'.
Hinata gets a shock, realising that Tomonaga's brother was enrolled in Naraka High as well, if his body was dumped in 'that place'. Toko momentarily goes silent and confirms Hinata's assumption. Tomonaga's brother had died during an Eclipse.
Toko reveals a photo of Tomonaga's elder brother (the guy on the very top^), and comments that Tomonaga must be the looker of the family. (I agree) The guy in the cap says this could imply that Tomonaga is trying to avenge his brother...or something.
Hinata says that's impossible, because Naraka High does not return their students' corpses to their families, nor do they inform their families about their child's death.
Hence Tomonaga's knowledge of his brother's death is impossible. Immortal guy is in disbelief hearing such shocking news. Hinata says that it'd be unrealistic for them to return a family their child's corpse, due to the horribly-mangled state of it. The families would probably be shocked to death. (What a gloomy way to put it...)
To hide a student's death (avoid suspicion), someone who possesses transforming abilities will be tasked to follow-up with the student's family members. However, to a point, this practice is impossible to keep up.
Toko says that Tomonaga doesn't have any known close friends, and doesn't attend school most of the time...then going silent. Hinata stresses to her that their lives are going to be in great danger if Tomonaga is not dealt with soon, and pleads for her help.
Toko understands his situation, and tells him that she will arrange Tomonaga's powers to be suppressed...but it'll take at least ten days. Hinata thinks waiting for so long is asking for death. She reminds Hinata that in her school days, the student body would take care of the problem themselves, whenever a student went psycho.
Hinata angrily says that Toko is thinking light of such a lethal situation, but is proven otherwise when Toko says that Tomonaga is definitely a extraordinary person, and understands all difficulties they're facing. She's already doing her best to remedy the situation, so expecting much more than this is too unrealistic. Any complaints shall be ignored henceworth, she says, and ends the conversation.
Hinata goes into the 'it's hopeless' stance. In midst of his stance, he notices Aira is gone, and promptly asks Mea (arrow-bow girl) where she is. Mea doesn't have a clue either. "She was here just a moment ago," she says. Shocked looks then form on Hinata and Mea's faces.
In the next scene, Aira is seen looking around for Tomonaga. Upon finding his location, she eargerly chases after him at an extraordinary speed. She summons her katana when Tomonaga comes dangerously close to her area.
Aira attempts to slash Tomonaga, only to be foiled by his swift dodge. She then wields her katana extremely close to his throat. Immense hatred is reflected on her eyes.
(holy shit the above writing is so !quality! I'm sorry if the bleak writing has bored you to tears by now)
Tomonaga mockingly asks her if this is her idea of 'revenge'. He says her method is pathetic, and grips her katana. "The bonds between you are so shallow. That's why you're all so vulgar" Tomonaga mentions that he spent 7 years, crawling in 'that filthy sea of trash' (dump site!) Aira is all 'wtf'.
Day after day, day after day, day after day...insistently repeating his words, that Tomonaga...
Aira thinks Tomonaga's lost it, acting so
All the while, he menacingly asks what's Aira's deal with her being so sentimental from Rokudo's death; her reactions make him so nauseous that he wants to puke his guts out.
Aira pulls her katana away from Tomonaga, and collapses to the ground, knees first. Tomonaga questions her whether she came for revenge or not. Aira's prevalent sense of justice prevents her from 'killing people so easily', regardless who. She then breaks down in tears. Tomonaga looks down on her, and walks away. He deems her 'not even worth killing'.
The scene shifts to the mountains. The body truck is driving along the path, when a body bag flies out of it and is left alone on the path. The body inside the body bag unzips itself out.
It's f*cking Rokudo.
