    To be frank, everything was so half-baked.
    It could have used a tweak or two with the twist.
[02:52] [Messenger] SIGN
    Halfway through, the ending became obvious,
    so he could work on that? I hope his next
    work is better.

    It's not thrilling to read. If I could

    Setting, story, plot twists... they're all familiar
    and there's nothing new. It's the self-indulgent
    writing of a mystery fan. If you've never read
    a mystery, you might enjoy it,
    but you'd be better off reading Edogawa Ranpo.
[02:54] [Messenger] SIGN
     As other people have posted, I'd say the problem is the
    lack of originality, but it looks like the ideas
    have dried up in the mystery genre.

[03:02] [Messenger] ---
    There was a clear ceiling. In that moment,
    I knew I was alive. I'm alive? But why? Was there a
    point to what I did that day? It was too late for
    me to think about it. My life suddenly came to an end.

    they won't let this go.
[15:29] TETSUO
    H-He most likely killed
    two people in the past.
[15:33] TETSUO
    The fact that he didn't get caught means
    there's an organization backing him up.

    under the rug as a missing person.

    And he punched me in the face.

    going to kill you too.

    How could he hurt a sweet girl like you?

    Don't say things like that!

    doesn't even sound like a joke.

    Sorry.

    though he's a jerk, he would...

[18:34] KYOICHI
    They locked the door, so it
    looks like Nobuto-san isn't here.

    before the daughter got home?
