The Atoner: Near the end of the game, the player finds a diary from Kouzou which reveals he was aware that Fumie was the daughter of one of the families he destroyed, and in fact had been trying to care for her as a surrogate daughter. Yasu is devastated to learn this fact, and it's implied is what drives him to confess to the murders.
