Part 11: Ball Of Yarn

These five stories are known as the Frightening Five. It is said that after what happened to Aia, Toma had quit after the next month passed because he had no way to know where the murders would strike next. The now deemed suspect in this whole operation was Hanakawa and the cult.

It seemed like this was something they had been planning for a long time. She was trying to mess with everyone’s minds and barely mentioned anything besides the possibility of a cult once they saw the handwriting. There was no other evidence leaning towards that fact. Except, none of this made any sense to me.

Why would Hanakawa tell on herself about where the writing was located? The meaning behind the red yarn ball painting was also considered abstract guesswork to me since the authorities thought nothing of it for some reason.

Back then and now were quite different under logical and customary ways of thinking. All that was needed was to simply search up what the red yarn ball meant and to figure out how it was associated with every case that happened. I found a source which redirected me to its meaning in dreams. All it seemed to indicate was that there was a loss of motivation for someone to continue fighting through obstacles to reach their true desires.

Toma. He had given up too easily on finding the murderer. Maybe it was because of how random things like the hailstone that killed both Nachi and Edahoshi happened. However, I have a feeling that the murderer was behind every single event in some shape or form. They would have to be extremely calculated to have influenced the events. That’s because when Aia died, the story of what happened to her was written all over her shirt with a waterproof red permanent marker.

I had to talk to Imagi tomorrow about what we could do. Otherwise, the curse wasn’t going to stop anytime soon.
