Blood Doll Incident

**Trigger warning for self harm and suicide.**

The incident that triggered the **Blood Doll Incident** (血の人形事件) occurred in a mountain in Hiratsuka City in the early hours of April 20, 1987.

Six men and women were gathered there. They were members of the same occult circle and were all young, between 18 and 21 years old. The young members who had come down from the mountain had all lost their minds at that point. Their viewpoints were not clear, and the words they uttered were unintelligible. All of the youths were covered in blood and could not even walk properly. They were discovered by a neighbor and immediately transported to a city hospital by police car and ambulance. Reportedly, they were muttering, **"Cyrano's existence has been erased by a strange force."**

Then, some time passed. On **May 7, 1987**, one of the members, **Hayama Shinjiro** (葉山伸次郎) (19 at the time), jumped to his death from the landing of the stairs on the 12th floor of his condominium. It was clear that his death was suicide as there were numerous witnesses. A strange piece of paper was found in the pocket of his corpse. There it was written: **"To Cyrano, whom I worship, I offer my torso."**

**13 days** later, on **May 20th**, the incident occurred again. **Sugisaki Yoko** (杉崎洋子) (21 years old at the time), who was a member of the same occult circle as Hayama Shinjiro, was found hanged in the garage of her home. A strange piece of paper was also found in her pocket. **"To Cyrano, whom I worship, I offer my right arm."**

After that, occult members continued to commit suicide every **13 days**. On **June 2**, **Hoshino Hikaru** (星野光) (20 at the time) was found with his wrists cut in the bathroom of his home. Another strange piece of paper was found in his pocket. **"To Cyrano, whom I worship, I offer my left arm."**

On **June 15th**, **Yanagida Atsushi** (柳田淳史) (18 at the time) committed suicide by jumping into a train, amid various speculations about the abnormal situation. There was a piece of paper in his pocket, making it clear that he too was a victim of this dimensionality. **"To Cyrano, whom I worship, I offer my left leg."**

Around this time, the media began to cover this series of suicides extensively. While various speculations are flying around and attention is focused on whether there will be more victims, another young man takes his own life.

On **June 28**, the body of **Kitazawa Honoka** (北澤ほのか) (20 at the time) was found in a sealed room. Her autopsy revealed that she committed suicide by gas poisoning. There were no signs of an accident, but like other suicide victims, she had a piece of paper in her pocket. **"To Cyrano, whom I worship, I offer my right leg."**

Then, on **July 11th**, the sixth victim was discovered. **Shiraki Gosetsu** (白木豪雪) (21 at the time) committed suicide by swallowing arsenic in his room. The text on the paper in his pocket read as follows: **"To Cyrano, whom I worship, I offer my head."**

Shiraki Gosetsu was the last victim of this incident.
