In an empty cinema sat a singular figure, everything around them was quiet. Nobody else was there, only the occasional thuds of objects falling to the ground.

"Hm..." The [h/c]-haired figure sighed out as the film was reaching its conclusion.

The phantom thief reached out his hand towards his intimate partner -- who was a detective -- desperately trying to get her before daybreak. But alas she was out of reach, and she fell to her doom. The phantom thief was indeed filled with despair, he abandoned the female at the scene and fled before officers start to outnumber him.

"...And then the phantom thief mourned over the loss of his beloved one," The person narrated, "Till then, he had sought out for something to cure his wounded soul, even if it took centuries, his bloodline will be in sought of that for generations."

They smirked with joy, "That film was rather predictable, but it was well written." They then stood up and stretched.

"An unrequited love and desire that was finally brought to light only for it go beyond into the void of darkness!" They laughed out with delight.

Ring, ring, ring...

The sound of a ringtone echoed through the cinema hall, "Ah... I guess it is time for that..."

The figure picked up the phone as the cinema lights turned on. Countless of what used to be the audience were scattered on the bloodstained floor, popcorn and drinks spilled onto their bodies like a decorated tree. Some of the victims had their limbs torn off somehow, and in the very front of the hall was the body of the woman who died in the end of the movie.

"Haa~ Good morning, ^\%]£'d~! Is it showtime~?"

[] 7:29p.m. -Armed Detective Agency []

It was two days since the event at the Yokohama Marine Tower.

The members of the Armed Detective Agency were cleaning up the mess they had made.

There was a small party at the agency, for their achievement of being awarded the 'Birch Bow of Exorcism'. But alas, they were told to clean up by Kunikida Doppo.

Despite the party, some had taken notice how perplexed Edogawa Ranpo was since his case two days ago. He'd occasionally ponder off somewhere, but he usually reverts back to his usual self when he sees snacks.

However, someone was missing from the clean up. Kunikida had not noticed until Atsushi Nakajima spoke word of it, "Uhm...has anyone seen Dazai-san?"

It's as if the mention of his existence annoyed the blond haired man.

"Damn it! Where the hell did that suicidal bastard wander off to?!"
