## Pre-Case

### Introduction

All because the citizens have ceased to sincerely admire their blooming beauty. The Unseen Judges, guardians of hanami, have noticed this.
 **Valerie:** |     So I wasn't imagining things... Today, Eddie and I went to the Blooming Quarter to get tasty goodies for a picnic in the garden.
At a dealer's shop, I saw how joyful and happy citizens were trying on his colourful Japanese masks.
I wanted to try one myself, but I noticed how people changed after taking off their mask, as if all the joy had left their faces. Horrible!
 **Letter:** | Unique Masks For Free!
Stop by the mask dealer's shop in the Blooming Quarter opened in honour of hanami, the beautiful holiday of spring. Show your brightest emotions and recieve a traditional Japanese mask as a gift.
 **Detective:** |     Who is this mask dealer, buddy? I've never heard of him before. Valerie says that people left his shop "different to how they used to be"...
Jul tried one of those masks today too. I met her on the way to the Blooming Quarter. She didn't even smile at me, can you imagine?
I've never seen Jul so... unemotional! Do you understand what I mean? Something's wrong here. Let's go visit this dealer!
