[Lulu]

[For Immediate Review]

Structure of power has shifted in the [Consumer] World-- Uprisings apparent, as government coups have resulted in power becoming focused in the hands of the royal bloodline of Japan, with similar incidents in other countries.

Cause of uprising: Increased tensions against those considered to be "monsters", those most similar to our Gods, resulted in retaliation-- reports of the Shinobird faction having also appeared, please put in an inquiry to our mediums associated with that group. [Redacted note: Wasn't Ren's family connected to that faction? May be worth looking into momentarily.]

[Images follow of the new flying structure that's appeared]

New structure has appeared, seems to be the central living space for the new ruling family. Will need further time to prepare profiles for those associated with this power. Observation: It may be worth considering approaching this family with reset parameters in order to communicate our situation, but I leave this to those with more authority to decide.

[Immediate updated response shortly after the report is sent: We have determined that the threat level of the situation has increased. We will not be resetting the parameters at this time until threat level decreases.]

Observation: Dueling appears to have become more and more of a central forefront of society in the last few days. News reports that the law concerning having a registered Disk and Deck, originally central to the Greater Domino Area, has now spread to the rest of the country. It is now considered to be one of the top pillars of the economy, seemingly overnight. Disputes are more and more considered to be by rule of combat.

This may be to our benefit, as it puts us more on an even ground in the case of an incident. [Immediate updated response: Do not engage unless forced to.]

--

Primary report: Ren's movements have been quiet. Observation continues on subject "Akira". I am beginning to suspect that Ren may have collapsed due to his isolation. I hope I'm wrong.

With approval, I will make a more aggressive move to try to connect and pinpoint Ren's location, if his actions have lulled.

With his inactivity, this may be our best chance.

I apologize for the extended silence. I finished my current schooling, and have since been in the employ of Mr. Yamada for some time, now.

I also have a date next Sunday, so I must have all advice concerning this for my personal reference.

My goals otherwise have remained unchanged, I just hope I will be able to get a small step closer to resolving this, soon...

It turns out that explaining to a school that I was detained for an extended amount of time for questioning, and then forgotten about until someone checked the holding room, leads to a lot of questions.

Also, I will need to repeat a school year due to missing too many days to stay under the threshold.

Troublesome.

Irregardless, my aims have not changed. I will be staying in Domino City in order to refine my search parameters, thanks to recent events.

It seems my efforts to locate what I am seeking have remained fruitless. So I shall attempt to be more forthcoming with information:

Once again, my name is "Lulu". If anyone has any knowledge as to crystals that transform people into monsters, or if someone is going by the name of "Ren", please contact me. I am easily able to arrive anywhere in Den City, Heartland City, Domino City, and Maiami City.

... It appears the weather has been shifting, too...
