Synopsis

In 2007, Mamoru Akasaka, accompanied by an assistant, traveled to the deserted town of Hinamizawa to speak with Officer Oishi. Both men remained troubled by the Great Hinamizawa Disaster, which had devastated the community, and its possible link to Miyo Takano's File No. 34. Rena offered what little insight she possessed into Rika's unsettling behavior in the period immediately preceding the alleged gas leak. Akasaka, in turn, recalled his own encounter with the young Rika.
