Bio-Study-Observation 06 : Subject ACER-0138234691

I went in to discuss this important development that he wanted to discuss. I determined from his expression walking in that he was completely serious, so I decided to give him my full attention. But what I received was a little less than insane. I managed to gather from what he was saying that he was the victim of what I believe to be nightmares that he calls visions. They are akin to visions, however. He claims to dream of people dying, mainly due to the events of the Hinamizawa Disaster. The actors that we've already confirmed- Shion and Mion Sonozaki- are present in his dreams as well. I wasn't really sure how much of a breakthrough this was- until he started to recall other names.

Rena Ryuugu

Rika Furude

Satoko Houjou

Teppei Houjou

Oryou Sonozaki

Satoshi Houjou

These were the names I managed to pull from him during that session. I had Detective Reiji run off the names since he had no other purpose at this office. At this point his dreams became far more relevant, so I had him divulge as many details as he possibly could. He began to describe one of the scenarios of an earlier dream that he had: A group of people, traveling to Hinamizawa, and two of them turning on the rest. He described the methods in which each person was killed. Midway through taking notes I had Saika hand me the case file that we were granted by the precinct during our interview with the only suspect they came up with regarding the murders. As I had expected, the details that he was divulging regarding the deaths of these nameless people were virtually identical to the conditions of the bodies in the Watchers serial murder case. I knew for fact that this man hadn't been informed of the killings- I'd made sure Saika never brought it up. I even taped all the conversations she had with the man. It's not that I don't trust her, it's just that I'm a bit paranoid about what goes on in that room, given how two of my closest friends are now going insane because of the man.

But regardless of any of that I knew now- this man was dreaming about things that happened or were going to happen. They probably were visions in the end, and this was proof. But as I pressed him for more information, I realized something. His dreams about the people of Hinamizawa- there were several, and in each situation they died differently. But knowing what I knew about the man who called himself Riku Furude, it's almost as if there was something intertwining with what he told me and what this man was saying. It was very small and very vague, but it was there. With what little I knew, and with the details in which the people in the village died in his dream- I had found validity in what he was saying. But why he was dreaming about such strange things I would never know. I just knew that it was incredibly important. That's all this really boils down to.

I know that this might look like a psychiatrist's journal entry after this, but considering how I've basically been given the job (but not the pay, see how I keep casually mentioning that?) of a psychiatrist, I'll take the penalty, assuming if I even get one. I decided to get a bit friendlier with him after that. Perhaps if I got as close to him as Saika was, then perhaps I could get him to tell me other things. I was almost certain he was still hiding things from me (although I didn't have any proof). So I decided that the first thing I should do is come up with some sort of nickname for him. Of course, I was terrible with this sort of field. It didn't help that I barely knew the first thing about this man- hell; he didn't even know the first thing about himself. So I mulled it over for a bit. What I came up with was the most awkward thing I could come up with. All I really knew about the guy was that he could dream about people dying. So I figured perhaps "Death Dreamer" would work out nicely. Although that would make me sound a bit moronic, so I decided to change things up. I thought back to when he first was admitted here. He was on the brink of death- perhaps that was how he managed to be so in tune with death. This wasn't all there was to it, however. One day he had suddenly started repeating three numbers and a letter for the bulk of the morning. I was later told that a patient had died in a room labeled with those three numbers and that letter and due to a small electrical surge that day due to a thunderstorm, power had been cut to that room. In addition to this, Saika had mentioned once that he'd said that the flowers by the window in his room should be watered out of the blue one day. She said it would probably be alright to leave them out for another day. But when the sun rose the next day, the flowers had completely withered. Before I knew it he'd probably be able to poke me somewhere and be able to kill me that way. (Eh, probably not. I never did like that show, though.) So I came to this conclusion. He was not necessarily in tune with people dying, but rather the end of things.

And so I decided that I will call him End-Dreamer.

Of course he was rather dumbfounded when I walked in that morning, greeting him with that rather stupid sounding name. It was a bit shaky as a start, but he eventually grew on it. He actually ended up divulging details on the boy Satoshi Houjou. The details were surprisingly accurate from the file that I'd gotten from Reiji. He seemed to have been acquainted with the boy, and seeing as how Satoshi Houjou went missing years before the Hinamizawa Disaster, it further proved our point that he was a long time resident of Hinamizawa. It wasn't really all that much, but at least he was able to confirm our intell.

Because of this I was certain the information on Rika Furude was just as accurate. But I'll discuss that more later on, because I feel it's a bit too important to just be tacked on to the end of this report.

I'll wrap this up here. I don't see any point in discussing what's been happening to Mido and Aria, since their conditions haven't changed. But I have been working around the clock for a way to find some psychological cure for them. If they both end up dead…Ah, hell if I know what I'll do.

Author's Note

And so this string of updates finally comes to a close. Why it took so long to get the Invitation Chapter up if I wrote it a few days ago? Because I had to go through and re-edit the story about five times. Hopefully that won't happen again.
