There was a man… named “Takagi Ryo” who was hideous both externally and internally. No light shone in his life. Throughout his life, he was mistreated and abused by women in particular, leading to a warped image of the kind of woman he desired, which drove him even further into madness.... more>>

In the midst of all this, Takagi encountered “Fukiyama Akane,” who was gifted with both intelligence and beauty, and she was a “virg*n mary”. Amidst the excitement and frenzy he had never experienced in his life, he made a resolution based on his distorted and insane thoughts.

『I must perpetually preserve the existence of her beauty. The responsibility lies with me. To achieve this, I thought about what kind of treatment I needed to administer to her. After studying medical science at university, I arrived at a conclusion. To preserve her beauty eternally, it would be an impossibility in this hideous, fragile, flesh-and-blood state. Her limbs, which deny me, her foul, reddish-black organs, and her muddy flesh and blood are all unnecessary to her. In order to preserve her existence for all eternity, I made her into a “living doll”.』

The current Akane is imperfect. The present… Akane’s flesh and spirit will all be destroyed, and a new, flawless Akane will be created. <<less

File #0001:... more>>

Suspect: Erika Guruh

Alias: Omen

Character Profile: sinister-looking, extremely rude, notorious

Deduction: No doubt she’s the perpetrator. Besides, all evidence found points straight at her.

Facts: It’s an open secret that the accused and the victim have been at each other’s throats and that the beef between them worsened after speculations of the suspect desiring to snatch the victim’s boyfriend came to light. No wonder when the victim was found at death’s doors on the premises of a construction site, the suspicion was immediately pointed towards the suspect.

However, the situation is even more convoluted than it seems due to the suspect running away with her thug-like motorcycle-taxi-driver, despite being under house arrest. This act by the suspect only stands to further strengthen the suspicions towards her. The suspect was also the first person to arrive at the crime scene of the following victims.

My Mission: Prove that the accused is, in fact, innocent. And to find the actual perpetrator. <<less

“…Forget everything about the past.”

“…Ugh!”

His words stabbed me.

More painful than the discreet inner turmoil that was currently tormenting me, his words were even more agonising.

Finally, I closed my eyes.
