INVESTIGATION 5

It's a quiet night as the silence remains unbroken. Without the toll of the clock tower, only a choice few will be able to discern the time as the hands on all four faces remain fixed at 9:27. And yet, even those without any means of checking the time will probably get the picture: it's been four consecutive weeks of death already, so what makes this one any different? So even though the lines between days may blur and tangle together, time still marches on and deadlines continue to draw closer.

The time is ████. Is there a reason to be out in the streets right now? Maybe.

And if that's not enough of a sign, the bloom of dark red on their still back says it all, especially since it's already been four weeks of this already.

It's a shame for this to have happened now of all times, when he was starting to find a place here. But that pale white hair and slight frame are unmistakable despite lacking the usual flamboyance, serving as a reminder of just how frail life is.

Dist the Rose is dead.]

This is not going to be good. ]
