I am waiting for him to say he does not remember stabbing her.

One of the biggest problems in japanese society today; people are willing to commit such heinous crimes because they simply don't care what happens after. A society where work comes before living your own life, and you have no chance of rising to the top in the gerontocracy, has a way of instilling apathy in people.
