Cultural festival
July - September A sudden, boastful confession of the murders creates a false sense of closure. The team captures a distorted individual, but the case feels hollow—the motive is nonsense, and the supernatural elements remain unexplained.

The truth
November - December With the true culprit finally exposed, their motive is a nihilistic deal: accept a comforting lie or pursue a painful truth that risks everything. Choosing truth means rejecting a world of illusions, confronting a god of emptiness feeding on humanity's desire for ignorance, and fighting to prove that bonds and reality—flaws and all—are worth protecting. The fog is the final enemy.

True culmination
December After the hollow victory, the Investigation Team chooses to reject the easy lie. They launch a final heist into the heart of distortion to confront the true mastermind—not a person, but a nihilistic god of emptiness born from humanity's collective desire for ignorance. This final battle is not just to save a friend or a town, but to affirm the value of truth, bonds, and reality itself, no matter how painful, against the allure of a comforting fog.

Their true reward is a precious, extended spring of peaceful days and proper goodbyes before the journey home.
