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.

Yes... I think so.

I saw a dark dot circle around the backside of the LDS building and make its way inside.

I was at that exact spot that night, and I believe saw said dot, in question. But it still doesn't entirely add up, to me...

You saw the "dot"?

What exactly doesn't add up, to you?

When you were processing all that, there was a dark dot running around the building - I assume the one your scanners picked up as matching what you were looking for. But...

Well, put bluntly, they seemed like a kid, related to the researcher who was at Leo Duel School that night, so I don't have any idea how they connect to your... case, so to speak.

Oh....

*she seems disappointed at first, but then something shifts in her expression, and you realize-- she isn't disappointed in the reveal, but in the person themselves.*

Ren is definitely putting others at risk... I'd hope he'd have found a similar situation to myself...

...Ren? Hrm... [His brow furrows, quietly.]

I'm not sure I know who that is, but...

[He describes, roughly, what he saw of a certain youth attempting to clamber into the LDS window that night.]

They seemed bizzarely... driven, all things considered.

*Purple hair, a mask, hnmm...*

The description does not match Ren, but it is quite likely him.

And being "driven" sounds... Normal, for the situation at hand. If I were to describe it, it is like... Only a minute amount of thoughts and ideas are able to be exercised at once, for this case, so it leads to an state of hyperfocus...?

*she shakes her head*

I wish I could be more descriptive, but if I attempt to be specific, I could give off a very wrong impression as to what is going on. But that was, most likely, the one I was looking for.

Unless he has managed to gain some associates...

Well, they didn't exactly create a good lie in their panic. So that gives us somewhere to start...

...They mentioned their 'friend's' uncle was involved in the Challhua incident at the time. I know exactly who that is, thankfully - Mamoru Yamada, a researcher at LDS. I doubt he's directly connected, but...

Seriously, what is with that guy and getting involved with all sorts of stuff like this.

It was quite likely a convenient happenstance, but I am unaware of the details of how Ren is going about this, in particular. This is the first sign of any particular connection...

Which is troublesome, as he is effectively acting under a handicap. Stupid, he's so stupid...

A... handicap, you say? Is this related to the fact we have nothing to go on for his appearance? I'm aware you don't have any details on how this 'Ren' is going about this, but any further details may be helpful, as we wind up the incident report.

You also seem to be... fond, of this Ren. Were you two close?

I'm not exactly fond of him.

But he was, technically, a co-worker of sorts. And he caused... a lot of trouble, with this stunt in general.

As I said, the means of which we are here-- it causes instances of hyperfocus, but it is because... *she seems to try really hard to think of how to explain this*

Think of all of the actions you take in a day, and how informed they are by your memories, your thoughts. You're able to make choices thanks to those memories.

Now imagine your actions could only be defined by the most narrow selection of thoughts and memories, if at all.

That seems... potentially dangerous. To the extreme, in fact. Not that I don't understand hyperfocus, I do, but also.

Hrm.

It is an "occupational hazard", but his method is inadvisable.

But... this can work to my advantage. I assume he is unaware that he has been noticed at all?

Edited 2022-01-29 02:36 (UTC)

Hm, occupational hazard... [...Where have I heard this kind of problem before. I feel like I know this and I don't like that I do.]

The person I spotted made it inside the building before I could give chase, I lost them after that, and we haven't had any missing persons' reports come in, so my assumption is they thought of me a close call.

I see. I can potentially work this to my advantage.

Is there any way that a picture can be produced of him? So that I may then plan on how to approach the situation and cut off the influence that Ren has.

Hmmm. Not right away, at least. But, given I have my suspicions, I can follow up on a lead and contact Mr. Yamada for further details and get back to you on that.

[He's pulled out his phone and is making various notes in it.]

Until then, the description I gave will have to do, but I'll follow up with you, once I've confirmed everything on my end.

Edited 2022-01-29 05:46 (UTC)

*she deflates slightly*

Ah... Very well. This is still a marked improvement in my situation over... "Not knowing who or how Ren is acting in the slightest", but at least now I have something to ask others.
