INSPECTOR KAMUI'S LETTER
Dear Reader,
If I'm to take a leaf out of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events 1: the Bad Beginning:
"I am sorry to say that this story you are about to read is extremely unpleasant."
If you're looking for a light, romantic fluff with bits of humorous crack, I suggest you should stop here and go for Vocaloid: the "Express" Elevator instead.
However, if you're a fan of dark angsty tales who craves for an unusual reading experience, you have come to the right place—what you're about to see in the next few chapters are pieces of a jigsaw puzzle that tells the short life of Kaito Shion-san, a freshman studying at the prestigious Crypton Academy of Fine Arts who is later found to have burned to death in a studio room.
It may be just a part of my job, but I have taken extreme pain and effort to gather these evidences together, so that one day this terrible incident and the seemingly-unrelated events that have led the poor soul to a suicidal end in order to escape from a miserable reality he had lost faith with, will be brought to light.
An eccentric writer who goes by the pseudonym 'kurotsuba' has generously agreed to take up the duty of editing and publishing my findings to the general public. By the way, he is the author of that nonsensical LuKaito elevator fanfiction I mentioned at the beginning of this letter.
Without further ado, let us dive into the twisted world of Kaito-san and his beautiful girlfriend by the name of Leia, whom we can only meet on the charred remains of the canvas littered around the crime scene.
With all due respect,
K. Gackpoid
Gakupo Kamui
Inspector
Criminal Investigation Bureau Division 1
Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department
