## Plot

### ???, 1933

A rat is outside Ruby's Pub in the rain and, after a thunder, runs into the sewers. As the rat goes through a pipe in the sewers, what appears to be smuggled weapons can be seen. Eventually, the rat reaches an isolated room through pushing through a cracked brick and touches an injured arm on the floor. The arm moves and the rat runs away. The arm comes from none other than Anna Myers herself...

As Anna wakes up, she feels a massive headache and notices a pack of Cabaret Rousseau matches, which she immediately uses to get some light. After a moment of confusion, she realizes that she has been kidnapped and that all of her stuff, including her diary, has been went through and taken. However, Anna doesn't remember being kidnapped and decides to look around for some clues. Looking through the pile of mess in her cell, she finds bloodied bandages and wonders if the blood comes from her. She then notices a name scribbled on her arm: Jörg Bohn. She starts to remember a previous event...

### October 16, 1933 (flashback)

Anna looks at her arm with the scribbled name Jörg Bohn on a street in the Old Town district, wondering where he is as they were meant to meet. Suddenly, Max Frost shows up and tells her that she can't be here because an incident had just happened and needs to be investigated. Max appears to be pretending to not recognize Anna. Anna replies that she is looking for Jörg Bohn on behalf of Lieutenant Ulli Reiter. Max then appears to pretend to meet Anna for the first time as if he was Jörg himself, saying how she's impressed people like Ulli. After a snarky remark, Anna drops the act and seriously acts Max what is he doing here, to which Max also starts being serious and claims "everything turned out to be more complicated than we expected" and how it's "no longer" Jörg's responsibility. Anna deduces that something very serious happened, which Max confirms. Max then allows Anna to enter Zürich's Parliament building.

## Trivia

* This chapter contains the most amount of confirmed deaths so far, totaling up to 21 (14 massacre victims, 3 mentioned bombing victims, Charles, Petrus, Bojan, and Iris).
* The minigame for when Anna defuses the bomb in front of the Parliament is nearly identical to when Anna defuses the bomb in the cellar at Atlantic Connection. As Anna says this is not her first time defusing a bomb, this implies Gerhard was somehow behind the bombs at the terrorist attack.
* The circumstances around Charles' murder is inspired by the real-life murder of Charles Zumbach in Geneva, Switzerland during 1958, as confirmed by the developers in a Q&A.
	+ Charles Kistner is based on Charles Zumbach, both victims who worked with machines and later revealed to have worked for criminals.
	+ Ernestine Kistner is based on Marie Zumback, both wives of the victims who heard the victims' cries for help and were shot at by the culprits.
	+ The culprits for both cases first injured the victims and then later fatally stabbed the victims before fleeing with a bicycle.
	+ Francisco Jacquot is based on Pierre Jaccoud, the convicted person for the victim's murder. Both are neurotic, suspected of the murders, and possessed a bloody knife of African origins, a gun, and a coat with one missing button found by the crime scene.
	+ Georgette Kistner is based on both André Zumbach (the victim's child) and Linda Baud (André's then-girlfriend). Georgette and André both received two calls with no answer around the same time the murder happened. Georgette and Linda are the subjects of nude photos obtained by Jacquot/Jaccoud.
* Bojan's backstory is based on real-life events as also confirmed by the developers in a Q&A. Because there are so many fatal railway collisions caused by dispatchers' errors, it is hard to pinpoint an exact one that fits Bojan's backstory, although it could also be just broadly based on the collisions, not a specific one.
* The witness statement for Iris's disappearance mistakenly has the dates March 10, 1935 (for the last time Iris was seen) and March 11, 1935 (for the date of Ulli's signature). This contradicts the year 1933 established by the chapter's intro and the dates in Anna's diary.
* The minigame when Anna has to chase down Heinz's killer by the hospital references the 2014 mobile game FRAMED, with the similar artstyle and gameplay mechanic of swapping the comic panels to allow the protagonist to succeed.
* In the game files, there are two unused voice lines by Oskar during this chapter's climax. After getting hit by Anna by the chair, Oskar was originally meant to say "The loneliness of life shadows every one of my steps..." and then "There is no escape, Miss Myers." before Anna says "Go to hell, psycho.". In the final version, Oskar doesn't say anything after being hit.
