The event that occurred tonight shocked all of Japan: every TV channel and the front pages of newspapers published the same thing:
Shinjuku is on fire!
A quote from a news reporter:
"We are near the police station... I mean, what's left of it. Firefighters are desperately fighting the fire, but flames continue to engulf the building."
According to eyewitnesses, an explosion caused the fire. They also say that shortly before, a suspicious person came to the station to visit one of the detainees. He had a box of chocolates with him, slightly larger than usual, but few people paid attention to it, and he was allowed inside.
Rescuers were only able to identify three victims –
Slonysh,
WisTrit, and
Knyaz_Omega. However, it was impossible to determine exactly who was who because the bodies were so disfigured.
There is only some specific information: one of the dead was a police officer, another was a foreigner with fair skin, and the last one was found to have a nearly intact hatimaki (headband) and several 9x19mm Parabellum cartridges.
Around the same time, two murders occurred at
Gil4’s house. Among the victims were
Morning and the homeowner himself. Gil4 lay on the floor with his throat cut, and his guest was sprawled next to him with gaping bullet holes in his back. Near the bodies were bloodstained roses and a ticket for tonight's fireworks display.
In addition, today there were several complaints as well as MANY announcements placed in the newspaper, presumably due to panic caused by the fire.
Arandor complained about a beggar who woke him up at night,
Nebo complained about increased anxiety, and
Siverfale complained about excessive noise from what he believed were fire trucks.

It was early morning. I sat at my desk in my small rented apartment and wrote an encrypted message for the local newspaper.
I became interested in cryptography several years ago when I served in the navy. It all started with Morse code. Now I could consider myself a good cryptanalyst; I managed to decipher a couple of rather complex ciphers.
Finally, when it was finished, I put on a light jacket and went outside. My motorcycle was waiting for me where I left it last night. Fortunately, the editorial office of the local newspaper was along the way to work. Fifteen minutes before the restaurant opened, I was at my workplace, ready to serve customers.
Soon after opening, two young women came into the restaurant for breakfast. They ordered and began talking. When I brought their order, I overheard part of their conversation:
-…I think I'm in love. He is so gallant and courteous, surprises me, gives me expensive gifts, takes me to the best restaurants. He prides himself on belonging to an old and influential family. And he says that he can do anything for me, even bring the city to its knees.
-What is his name?
-Arandor...
Amko – mafia player. Morning too.
"I haven’t written any notes up until now; all the notes from "the tramp" are lies. For now, there is no valuable information."

Damn mafia players! Just wait, I will come and pump you full of medicine until you die! You will die in agony! AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!11
Big Brother.
"Neyra, urban. Was."
Good morning, my beloved citizens. I look down upon you with pain and sadness and lament your transgressions. I look through the optical sight.
My dear children, may the veil of delusion fall from your eyes – I am not a maniac, but an urban sniper, and our goals are united in eradicating the Yakuza.
Protect me. Vengeance is mine, and I will deliver it.
And now – let's get down to business.
On the first night, I received orders for White Lizard and Wishmaster.
On the second – for Thorium and Vegtam.
On the third, I was offered Morning, WisTrit, and Arandor.
I don't have much time. If saving innocents required blocking Morny, then I will send him to the block.
Amen.
