INVESTIGATION 4

And the clock ticks down to the end of another week. While the days were no less eventful, the tone set by last Thursday wasn't matched in the same way this time, so perhaps that's a source of relief for some. Looking at it another way though, maybe it was nothing more than the calm before the storm; after all, every Friday has been nothing but bodies upon bodies in some way or another.

So maybe that's why it may be unsurprising to smell something acrid and burnt on the autumn breeze that sweeps through the streets. The bell tolls eight. Time to get investigating.

[No direction other than...around. Almost literally, it seems. You could soak a top in water and then make it spin just a little and you'd get that result.

With one exception: there's just a few droplets separating from it all, and going towards the streets that lead to the arcade. It's not much blood, though...

Still, that's for a separate location. Guess it's time to check the undercarriage of the tram]

[ortion]

[That's...incredibly bizarre. He'll have to think more on it later.

In the meantime, yes, let's check the undercarriage. Dist makes his way back there and starts checking for suspicious damage or any debris caught in places it shouldn't be.]

[umbralant]

[No debris! But it's also not all fine and nice...which was to be expected, given the tram crashed. It's difficult to differentiate what comes from the crash and what from...other causes.

First of all: no blood at all over here. Alright!

Second: the very bottom of the front bumper, as well as the frontmost wheels, they're a little bit roughed. Mostly scratches, nothing that stands out too much, and there aren't even that many. Still, scratches on wheels aren't the kind of thing you'd expect from a crash.

That seems to be about it, in terms of...things that aren't wreckage from a derailed tram]

[ortion]

[Hmmm. Dist wonders if those roughed spots are from the fact that the tram ended up derailing. At the very least, he'll keep it in mind. And the lack of blood is good! Then again, the interior seems to be making up for it...oof.

Is he good to join up with Dazai for the interior?]

[umbralant]

[Yeah, you're done, pal. Time to go!]
