Timeline/Annihilation

An overview of a series of events which happen in the Universe of AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES, specifically the Annihilation timeline.

## **2019**

### Early October

* Hitomi Sagan went to Fuchu Prison to meet with Inmate #89 for one of her regular meet-ups. Afterwards, Hitomi spotted "Shoko Nadami" (who was actually Saito Sejima) arriving to meet #89 himself. Saito met #89, and during their conversation, #89 realized that the person inside Shoko was Saito himself.
* Renju Okiura was in his office at Lemniscate crying, presumably about Manaka Iwai's death almost 18 years ago, when Mizuki Okiura spotted him through the door. Suddenly, Renju stepped outside and drove towards the Cold Storage Warehouse, and Mizuki followed him in a taxi (potentially Takushi Ibarado's taxi operating near Lemniscate).
	+ Renju arrived and lamented over Manaka's corpse, while Mizuki hiding behind the shelves. Once Renju left, Mizuki approached the frozen forklift and found Manaka's body inside. Thinking the body was Iris Sagan, she hurried over to the Sagan Residence and encountered a still-breathing Iris. Mizuki proceeded to convince herself that what she saw was simply an illusion, repressing the memory.

### Around October 25th

* Inmate #89 made a phone call to So Sejima, first answered by his secretary. When So took the phone, #89 told him "A woman named Shoko Nadami knows what happened 18 years ago. Contact her. I realized everything when Shoko arrived. I have to see her again," alluding to Rohan's knowledge of Saito Sejima.

### November 1st

* **Around 4 PM** - Renju Okiura received a call from Saito Sejima (a parasite inside Shoko Nadami), asking to meet him at a factory in the Kabasaki District.
* **Around 5 PM** - Renju arrived at the Kabasaki Chemical Plant, where he was sedated/knocked unconscious by Saito (in Shoko). Placed in the Prototype Psync Machine, the two swapped bodies. Saito (in Renju) proceeded to stab Renju (in Shoko) to death with an ice pick, and then ate Shoko's eye.
* **Between 6:00 PM-8:00 PM** - Saito (in Renju) took Shoko's body and drove through the abandoned subway line. He arrived at Bloom Park, strapped her body at the merry-go-round, and stabbed the ice pick in her eye socket. Her phone dropped, and Renju placed it inside the adjacent horse ride's mouth.
	+ **8:05 PM** - Saito (in Renju) sent a NILE message to Mizuki Okiura, and then lied in wait for her. The message read: "Mizuki, Daddy got caught in something serious. Please come to Bloom Park's merry-go-round right away. Daddy needs your help. Please, do as I say."
	+ **8:10 PM** - Mizuki called Ota Matsushita and asked him to come with her to visit Bloom Park, so that she wouldn't go into the restricted zone alone. Ota agreed, and they set out to meet nearby.
* **9:00 PM** - Mizuki and Ota arrived at Bloom Park, and together they found the dead corpse of Shoko Nadami. Ota fled from the scene in fear and dropped his phone in a puddle, while Mizuki stood staring at the body in shock. She saw the silhouette of Renju in the distance by the park's back exit.
	+ **9:02 PM** - So Sejima, curious about last week's phone call, decided to use a rental phone to call Shoko Nadami. Her phone rang inside the horse ride, and with that —along with the sight of the mysterious silhouette—, Mizuki hid inside the merry-go-round pillar out of fear. Saito (in Renju) approached the pillar, locked the inside, and drove away.
	+ **9:05 PM** - After fleeing from the park and realizing he dropped his phone in a puddle of water, Ota went to a nearby pay phone and called the police. Leaving an anonymous tip, he told them that screams were heard from inside Bloom Park, and returned home for the night.
* **Between 9:30-11:00 PM** - With Mizuki hidden inside the locked pillar, the First Response team arrived at Bloom Park and reported the scene. The forensic crew, lead by Araya Kagami, arrived with the police, and Detective Akasaka investigated the crime scene as lead detective.
	+ **Around 10:30 PM** - The corpse found is identified, and the information is sent to Shizue "Boss" Kuranushi. Recognizing the name "Shoko Nadami," Boss contacted Special Agent Kaname Date, to go and investigate the scene himself.
* **10:54 PM** - Kaname Date and Aiba arrived at the scene, and began investigating the corpse. He spoke with Boss (and befriended Kagami), and soon the four heard a noise coming from the pillar. Blasting the lock open with Evolver, Date found Mizuki inside.
* **Around 11 PM-12 AM** - Date took Mizuki to Central Hospital, where she was admitted into a room for the night. Date called Renju, in order to tell him about Mizuki, but Saito didn't picked up the phone. Date stayed with Mizuki the whole night, and soon enough fell asleep.
	+ Aiba entered Date's dreams, as Date began to remember parts of his past, particularly the event in which he accidentally show Hitomi Sagan in 2013.

### November 2nd

* **In the Morning:**
	+ The Metropolitan Police Department broke the news on the death of Shoko Nadami, keeping information down to a minimum. Her name is spread wide, and many people heard the news of her death, including Iris Sagan, Moma Kumakura, So Sejima, and even Inmate #89 all the way in Fuchu Prison.
	+ Saito (in Renju) is taken into interrogation by the MPD investigation team (most likely lead by Akasaka) in regards to "his ex-wife's" murder.
	+ Iris headed to the Lemniscate Entertainment Offices, where she met up with Ota Matsushita. While talking, Iris brought up Shoko's murder as a topic, and Ota confessed to what he and Mizuki saw that night. Soon after, Iris headed to the recording booth for her podcast.
	+ At Central Hospital, the doctors determined that Mizuki was suffering from aphonia due to the traumatic event.
* **9:21 AM** - Kaname Date arrived at Boss's office, and the two discussed the developments in the recent case. During the conversation, Aiba popped out and revealed she identified the anonymous caller as Ota Matsushita. With that, Date and Aiba depart to investigate.
* **10:18 AM** - Date arrived at Matsushita Diner, where he met Mayumi Matsushita. She recounted memories about her husband and the gift her son made her. After finding a Azamon box with an A-set figurine, they learn that Ota could be at Lemniscate.
* **Around Noon:**
	+ **11:45 AM** - Date arrived at Lemniscate, where he found Ota in the middle of sockpuppeting for A-set online using his 3 extra accounts. Date struggled to get his attention until Aiba hacked his laptop, at which point Date used it to blackmail Ota and he confessed to finding the body with Mizuki and keeping quiet about it.
	+ Once Iris's podcast ended, she left the recording booth, met up with Ota, and is introduced to Date, who vaguely recognized her. After several questions, Date decided to leave, but Iris put up a scandalous show on him —with Ota recording— and used it as blackmail to take her along. With that, Date takes Iris to Bloom Park.
	+ **Noon** - Saito (in Renju) is released from interrogation, and soon resumed his master plan for his next target: Iris.
* **In the Afternoon:**
	+ Inmate #89 sent a phone call to the MPD, where Detective Akasaka picked it up. #89 stated that he knows who killed Shoko Nadami, and offered a plea bargain.
	+ Saito (in Renju) made a private reservation for a nighttime event at Sunfish Pocket, then prepared for his next kill by purchasing beer kegs and hooks.
	+ Boss blackmailed the director of Central Hospital in regards to his sexual harassment of the Hospital's nurses. The director allowed Boss to take Mizuki to ABIS to prepare her for a Psync.
* **Around 1:00 PM** - While driving to Bloom Park, Iris and Date got acquainted with each other. The two talked about their respective jobs, and Iris mentioned that she is "going to die soon." Her real name caused some of Date's memories of him with a young Iris to resurface.
* **1:12 PM** - Date and Iris investigated the park. Iris gave off useless mythology trivia and Illuminati conspiracy theories, but then asked about the ice pick in Shoko's eye. Date noted that the ice pick was found in Mizuki's hands, and that the crime scene has no blood around the body. Date determined that Mizuki had pulled out the ice pick from Shoko's body, and that the crime actually occurred elsewhere. With that, Date decided to leave, but suddenly, Iris's brain tumor caused her to collapse. Date carried her to the car, learning she weighs 105 pounds.
* **Between 1:00 PM-3:00 PM** - While driving to the Sagan Residence, Iris rolled down the window and took in the cool breeze and playing with the air. She remarked about how Date appeared to be familiar to her in some way.
* **3:09 PM** - Date dropped off Iris at her house, but before leaving, he spots Iris's mother through the door, and recognized her as the woman who was in his dream the previous night. Iris welcomed Date inside as she served him some tea, and they have a small conversation. Hitomi talked about her relationship with Renju and Shoko, and about Iris. She also mentioned her shoulder injury, while Iris talked about the winter iris flower at home. After some talk, Date decided to leave, and promised to see Iris again.
* **Around 4:00 PM** - On the way back to ABIS, Date and Aiba discussed the timeline of events for this particular case. They went over "Shoko's" time of death and all the new clues gathered today. Together, they concluded that Mizuki couldn't have murdered her mother after all.
* **From 4:26 PM-4:46 PM:**
	+ Date arrived at Boss's office to find Mizuki waiting there. Boss convinced him to Psync with her, in order to get clues as well as to potentially cure her aphonia.
	+ As Pewter prepared the Psync, Date discussed the specifics of the Psync and the case with both him at Boss. Date explains to the mute Mizuki his work at ABIS and the process of Psyncing, and then promised her some food.
* **4:46 PM** - Date and Aiba entered Mizuki's dream of Bloom Park.
	+ They removed an "ice pick" from a photograph of Shoko and attempted to remove a giant cage encasing the merry-go-round. They eventually found two large Bird Cages, one with a torn up picture and another with balloons.
	+ Date chose to lift the left Bird Cage, and rebuilt an old picture of the Okiura family visiting Bloom Park 8 years ago. After remembering the event surround the torn picture, the pair free Mizuki from the pillar, and Aiba embraced her to soothe Mizuki. In doing so, a Blue Figure appeared leaving the park's back exit.
* **4:52 PM** - After the Psync, Mizuki was healed from her aphonia, embracing Date. She provided further testimony about the figure she saw and the actions she took at the park. Boss assigned Date to return to Bloom Park for further information, and he decided to bring Mizuki along to specify where the figure was standing.
* **4:58 PM** - Saito (in Renju) called Iris and asked her to meet with him about a gig at Sunfish Pocket. Iris agreed, and decided to head to Sunfish Pocket for their meeting. Saito either waits for the next hour at Sunfish Pocket or heads there himself if he hadn't arrived yet.
* **From 5:00 PM-6:15 PM:**
	+ Ota Matsushita spent his night traversing Akihabara, visiting many otaku and electronic shops. He purchased a brand new replacement phone in one of the stores.
	+ **Around 6:00 PM** - Iris arrived at Sunfish Pocket and meets with Saito (in Renju), who explained the false offer to "work as hired talent for the special venue at Sunpoke." Iris seemingly refused, to which Saito offered to take her home.
	+ **6:10 PM** - A traffic collision occurred at Capital City Highway, Minato District, in which a negligent truck driver crashed into 5 other vehicles. Six people were injured, but only for minor injuries.
	+ **6:15 PM** - While walking around Akihabara, Ota headed to Sunfish Pocket and witnessed Iris and Saito leaving the establishment, getting into Renju's car, and drive away. Ota approached the cafe but leaves when he realizes it's closed. While in Renju's car, Saito drugged Iris and took her to the Kabasaki Chemical Plant.
* **Around 7:00 PM-8:00 PM:**
	+ Iris was taken to the Kabasaki Chemical, was placed in the Prototype Psync Machine, and Saito (in Renju) Psynced with her, swapping bodies. Saito, now in Iris's body, proceeded to strangle Iris, in Renju's body, killing her. Saito then proceeded to take out Renju's eye and ate it.
	+ Saito dragged and placed Renju's body inside a specially prepared oil drum, which is rolled over to Renju's car and placed in the trunk. Saito (in Iris) proceeded to drive back to Sunfish Pocket.
* **During the entire nighttime** (the following section is speculative):
	+ Hitomi Sagan called So Sejima using a voice changer and blackmailed him for money, telling him to meet at Okiura Fishery Cold Storage Warehouse. Hitomi left her home and headed to the warehouse, where she took out Manaka's body and placed it on display in the warehouse. So, who had returned home from work, left his residence to meet with his blackmailer.
	+ When he arrived, So found Manaka's body on display. Hitomi proceeded to call again and blackmail So with Manaka's body, and ordered him to not contact the police or the Kumakura Family. So returned home, and afterwards, Hitomi proceeded to hide Manaka's body back in the forklift.
* **Around 8:00 PM** - MPD released more information about Shoko Nadami's murder, which is broadcasted in radio stations. Following one of these broadcasts, the radio reported on the accident at Capital City Highway, including the arrest of the truck driver who caused it.
* **From 8:13 PM to around 9:30 PM or later** - Date and Mizuki arrived at Bloom Park, and investigated the back exit to the park. After some quick investigation, they learned that Renju's car passed through the abandoned tunnels and stopped at Bloom Park, making him a bigger suspect for the crime.
	+ **8:50 PM** - Ota continued his night around Akihabara. Saito, in Iris's body and driving Renju's car, stopped at a red signal nearby. Ota spotted "Iris" and approached him, asking if "Iris" has a license. Saito, worried that Ota would discover Renju's corpse in the back of the car, made him promise not to tell anyone that "Iris" was driving around without a license under the pretense of doing a favor for Renju.
	+ **8:55 PM** - Saito arrived at Sunfish Pocket. He took the elevator up with Renju inside the oil drum, recorded in the cafe's weight system. He created a pulley system above the bar, took out Renju's body from the oil drum, and hosted it in the air, not noticing that Renju's watch had fallen off inside the oil drum. Before leaving, Saito disabled all the security cameras in the cafe and erased all its footage.
* **Around 10 PM** - Date and Mizuki headed over to Renju's house, hoping to find him there. On the way over, Mizuki defended her father, claiming he would never kill her mom, while Date questions that line of thinking with evidence, such as the car footage and the recently hacked NILE message Renju's phone had sent to Mizuki. During their talk, Boss called and informs them that Renju had gone missing since his interrogation, and that the police could not find him at home. With nowhere else to go, Mizuki suggested that Renju could be at Sunfish Pocket instead, and so Date veered course over to the cafe.
* **10:20 PM** - Date and Mizuki arrived at Sunfish Pocket, but once they entered the cafe, they found Renju's corpse hanging from the ceiling, a hook inside his mouth and his left eye missing.
* **Around 11 PM** - After Date and Mizuki found Renju's body, the first response team arrived at Sunfish Pocket. Mizuki was once again taken to the hospital for the night.

### November 3rd

* **1:00 AM** - A-set's late-night live-stream was scheduled to begin. Whether Saito, in Iris's body, decided to stream at night is unclear.
* **Morning:**
	+ The Ujisaki golf tournament finished, and the Kumakura Family returned to central Tokyo, back to their offices.
	+ Saito, as Iris, attended work at Lemniscate, doing recordings and podcasts all day long.
* **9:17 AM** - The ABIS team met up at Boss's Office, where they discussed Renju's death and revealed to Date the previous Cyclops case from 2013. Date decided to return to Sunfish Pocket to investigate. Meanwhile, Mizukisnuck out of Central Hospital and hid in Date's car.
* **Around 10:00 AM** - As Date drove to Sunfish Pocket, he and Aiba spotted Mizuki hanging out in the backseat. At first, he considered taking her back to the Hospital, but Mizuki convinced him to have her tag along. Once Date agreed, they continued towards Sunfish Pocket as the pair discussed Shoko's involvement in an investment fraud scheme.
* **10:33 AM** - Date and Mizuki arrived at Sunfish Pocket, where Kagami and the forensic team were still investigating. During the investigation, Date discovered Renju's watch inside the oil drum, the lack of security footage from the cameras, and the elevator's weight log history from the previous night. Date and Mizuki discuss the relevant people to the investigation, and they determine that they must speak with Iris and Ota, plus Date's informant Mama. They choose to head to Matsushita Diner, Lemniscate, and snack bar Marble as possible locations to investigate.
* **Approximately 11:30 AM** - Date and Mizuki visited Matsushita Diner looking for Ota, but Mayumi told them that Ota had left for the day. They headed out and continued investigating.
* **Approximately 12:45 PM** - Date and Mizuki arrived at Lemniscate and spoke with the receptionist, Ritsuko Enshu. She informed them that "Iris" is recording a podcast and can't be interrupted. Date gave Ritsuko his contact info and asked to call him in case Ota stopped by the office.
* **Early in the Afternoon** - So Sejima stopped by the Kumakura Office in the afternoon to speak with them regarding some business.
	+ (Currently speculative) - So visited the Kumakura Family in response to Hitomi's blackmail, despite her insistence to not contact them. So remained at the office to discuss it, smoking Klein cigarettes.
* **Approximately 2:00 PM** - Date and Mizuki dropped by Marble, while Mama was taking a break. The two of them discussed Renju's visits at Marble, and the conditions for which Date and Mizuki had them living together, while a radio broadcast speaking about last night's Capital City Highway accident was played.
	+ Mama returned to her station behind the bar, and she discussed with Date and Mizuki about Renju's secret lover, who had gifted him the watch, as well as Renju's past connections to the Kumakura Family. Once he realized that he must head to the Kumakura Office to investigate further, Date pretended to head to the bathroom, called Boss to have someone pick up Mizuki at the bar, and headed alone (with Aiba) towards the Kumakura Office.
* **3:22 PM** - Date arrived at the Kumakura Office, where Moma, Chinpei, and Dokuta were hanging out, while So Sejima hid in the back room. After knocking down Chinpei and Dokuta, Date asked Moma some questions about Shoko and Renju.
	+ Moma resisted his questions, so Aiba used her X-ray function and spotted someone's silhouette (So) on the other side of the nearby door. When Date attempted to investigate, Chinpei retaliates, and a shootout ensues inside. Aiba and Date manage to defeat Chinpei and Dokuta once more, and So revealed himself to the Special Agent.
	+ Date questioned So and Moma, obtaining their alibis from their previous nights, delving into the connections they had with each other and with Shoko & Renju, and they briefly discussed the Kumakura family history and the hospitalization and eventual death of Rohan Kumakura.
		- (Speculative): So lied about his alibi, stating that he was home all night after arriving from work, when he had been blackmailed by Hitomi at Cold Storage Warehouse.
	+ Once his investigation finished, Date got a phone call from Ritsuko, who stated that Ota had just arrived at Lemniscate. Date headed to Lemniscate to speak with him.
* **From 3:00 PM onwards** - A new MPD recruit stopped at Marble to pick up Mizuki, under Boss's orders. She took Mizuki home for the day. The recruit stayed with her for a while, but after some time, Mizuki told her she's free to leave, promising to check up with her later.
* **Around 5 PM** - On the drive to Lemniscate, Date and Aiba discussed the situation regarding the Kumakuras. They brought up So's past living in the Kabasaki District, and the scandal involving the chemical plant explosion from 8 years in the past.
	+ Detective Akasaka called Date and informed him of the phone call Investigation HQ had received the previous day from #89. He played a recording of the phone call, which stated that more bodies would drop. Akasaka stated that the phone call came in before they had found Renju's body, meaning that #89 seemingly knows something about this mystery.
* **5:59 PM** - Date arrived at Lemniscate and spoke with Ota. At first he was reluctant, but after Date put some pressure on him, Ota revealed that the previous night he had seen "Renju" and Iris leave Sunfish Pocket. Soon after, Saito (in Iris) walked out of her podcast, and with the new circumstances surrounding her lack of alibi, Date took "Iris" to Headquarters.
* **8:23 PM** - Date began his interrogation of Saito (in Iris) at the Interrogation Room. Saito attempted to play off his knowledge of the events and of Sunfish Pocket, and gave an alibi that can't be corroborated, due to Hitomi not being home the previous night.
	+ Date laid down the evidence regarding Renju's murder, such as how "Iris" could have murdered Renju by drugging him, used the oil drum to transport the body, and that the weights in the elevator matched Iris's weight.
	+ During the entire interrogation, Saito kept in communication with Ota via NILE messages using Iris's phone under the table. Ota promised to keep their encounter last night by Renju's car a secret, but Aiba and Date noticed Saito using the phone from the security cameras and the mirror. With the secret messages exchanged mid-interrogation, Boss gave Date permission to Psync with "Iris".
* **Around 9:00 PM** - Date began to Psync with Saito, whom he assumed was Iris. Date and Aiba found themselves inside an empty abandoned room they didn't recognize.
	+ After dialing a CRT TV, the pair began witnessing all 4 of the Original Cyclops Serial Killings from 2013. Aiba and Date concluded that Iris must have witnessed something in the past related to the original Killings. At the very end of the Somnium, they witnessed what appeared to be the true culprit of the original case: Kaname Date himself.
	+ After the Somnium, the ABIS team discussed the 2013 Cyclops Murders, and how they may be connected to "Iris." They ensured Date that he was not the culprit of those murders and that he had nothing to do with them, despite his blatant appearance within the Somnium. Boss told Date to release "Iris" and to take them home.
* **Around 9:20 PM** - As Date drove towards the Sagan Residence, Saito (in Iris) messaged Ota to meet at Marble, then asked Date to stop there. Date agreed and headed towards Shinjuku District. Ota arrived at Marble, and Mama steps away momentarily.
* **9:41 PM** - Date and Saito arrived at Marble and they find Ota alone inside. Taking this chance, Date asked Ota about the NILE messages he had exchanged with "Iris", but Ota tricked Date into turning around towards the door, allowing Ota tase him. The shock knocked Date unconscious, and the electric surge deactivated Aiba, allowing Ota to take "Iris" into his car and leave.
* **From around 10:00 PM to 11:00 PM:**
	+ **Around 10:00 PM** - Ota and Saito (in Iris) drove from Shinjuku all the way to Fuchu City. Once they're near Fuchu, Saito asked Ota to stop at a convenience store to buy a drink.
	+ **10:32 PM** - Ota stopped at a FamiSto in Fuchu to buy "Iris" a drink. With Ota inside, Saito took the van and drove back to central Tokyo.
	+ **10:33 PM** - Ota stole a nearby station wagon and attempted to pursue his van. However, he eventually lost track of the van.
* **11:00 PM-11:10 PM** - Saito, in Iris's body, arrived at the Sejima Residence and asked to speak with So Sejima. Some unknown words were exchanged between father and "daughter"/son, and during that interaction, Saito is able to convince So to let him take him somewhere in the van.
* **11:40 PM** - Saito (in Iris) drove So to the Kabasaki District. They reached the abandoned factory, at which point So was already drugged and unconscious.

### November 4th

* **Around Midnight to 12:25 AM** - Saito, while in Iris, placed So inside the Prototype Psync Machine. He psynced with him, and the two swapped bodies. Saito, now in So's body, took So, now in Iris's body, and placed him in the van to drive out. Saito left the Kabasaki District and headed towards the Warehouse District.
* **Around 1 AM** - Saito, in So, arrived at the Cold Storage Warehouse and began prepping for the murder. He took out a computer and camera, prepped the ice-cutting machine, and put on a Polar Bear costume. He proceeded to place So, in Iris, at the table in front of the ice-cutting machine.
* **Until 3:00 AM** - Ota continued to search for his family van, having lost it. After many hours searching by car, he stopped at a net cafe and used a computer to track the GPS on his phone, which he had left in the van. Using that signal, he headed towards the Warehouse District.
	+ **2:48 AM** - Date and Aiba woke up at Marble, where Mama was tending over Date. He remembered that Ota had tased him, and Mama noted that Ota and Iris were no longer at Marble.
	+ **2:50 AM** - Suddenly, Boss called Date and told him that a livestream had just begun: an unconscious "Iris" laid on a table with an ice-cutting machine above, left eye missing. Date got into his car and immediately drove off.
* **3:15 AM** - Saito, inside a polar bear suit, activated the ice-cutting machine live on stream to kill So, inside Iris. Date, Aiba, Boss, and presumably others like Mizuki watched the saw-blade drop downward.
	+ However, just in time, Ota appeared and turned off the machine, and began fighting Saito off-screen from the stream. During the scuffle, Ota manages to injure Saito's leg with a crane, which made Saito drop his knife near his pool of [So's] blood. Ota approached the knife, but suddenly Saito quickly picked up the knife and stabbed Ota, making him collapse on top of So's pool of blood.
	+ **3:17 AM** - With Date 20 minutes away, Saito proceeded to kill So, in Iris, at the cutting table. He turned off the stream, then placed the bleeding/bled out Ota into the polar bear suit. Saito picked up Ota and placed him on the table, to which Saito activated the ice cutting machine and bisected Ota as well.
* **Around 3:30 AM** - His set-up complete, Saito left the warehouses limping towards the Sejima Residence.
* **3:35 AM** - Date arrived at the warehouse, but found Iris's bisected body sprawled in two at the back of the room, and a bloody polar bear costume at the ice cutting machine, also bisected. Date unmasked the polar bear and discovered Ota's corpse inside instead.
* **Around 4:00 AM** - Hitomi and Mayumi are woken up by police officers, who informed them that Iris and Ota had both been killed.
* **10:02 AM** - In ABIS's interrogation room, Date sulked over the events that transpired at night. Boss revealed that HQ had taken the official stance that Ota was the New Cyclops Killer, which Date refuted by attempting to list other potential suspects. As they were all seemingly ruled out from his perspective, he decided to head out and investigate some more.
* **From 11:00 AM to Noon** - Boss got a call from So Sejima, who was actually Saito, who asked her to meet at the Sejima Residence, most likely using the circumstances of Date's amnesia as leverage. Boss headed out to meet him, and was last seen by Pewter, who he himself was on the way out to run into Date.
	+ **Approximately 11:30 AM** - Date and Aiba arrived at the Harbor Warehouse District and investigated the crime scene. They discovered the van and the station wagon in front of the Cold Storage Warehouse and the streaming equipment left inside by the culprit. Aiba informed him about the warehouse's ownership and its relation to Renju.
	+ **Approximately 12:00 PM** - Pewter arrived at the Harbor Warehouse District and met with Date, where he decided to inform Date about the Original Cyclops Serial Killings from 2013, despite Boss's orders. He revealed to Date the killer's true identity: Rohan Kumakura and an unknown individual. From the way Pewter phrased his words, Date and Aiba were given the impression that the second individual was Inmate #89.
* **Just past Noon** - Boss arrived at Sejima Residence, and Saito, as So, drugged her. He took her to the Chemical Plant and Psynced with her, leaving into a body swap. Saito, now in Boss, set up a video recording and shot Boss, now in So, in the head, killing her. Saito cut up So's body into pieces and place the remains inside a vase. Saito, in Boss, transported the vase with So's body to the Sejima Residence.
* **Approximately 12:45 PM** - Date visited Mayumi at the Diner to give his condolences, but was quickly kicked out by the grieving mother.
* **Approximately 1:45 PM** - Date returned home to speak with Mizuki, but she remained unresponsive due to Iris and Ota's deaths overnight. Date told Aiba to contact a good counselor for Mizuki, before heading out to continue investigating.
* **Approximately 2:45 PM** - Date visited a grieving Hitomi at her home. She recounts all of her fond memories with Iris during childhood, and also informed him of seeing Shoko at Fuchu Prison a month ago, visiting a prisoner. Before he left, Hitomi hugged Date, crying into his shoulder, and told him to catch the culprit and avenge Iris.
* **Approximately 3:45 PM** - Date visited Marble and spoke with Mama. She told him that she believed the Kumakuras are involved in these murders, how the Kumakuras and So were rumored to have caused the chemical plant explosion, and that the Matsushita family were ruined due to that explosion, connecting Ota to the Kumakuras.
* **4:57 PM** - Date and Aiba returned to Boss's Office with no leads. They discussed what other leads to pursue, and Aiba suggested interrogating #89, due to his identity as the original Cyclops Serial Killer, his mysterious phone call to the MPD, and his potential connection to Shoko. The pair decided to order a prison transfer between Fuchu Prison and Headquarters.
* **From around 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM** - #89 (Rohan Kumakura) is transferred from Fuchu Prison to Headquarters in Chiyoda District.
* **8:56 PM** - Date began his interrogation of #89, who told the long story of Falco and how he worked with Rohan Kumakura and fell in love with a woman. #89 stopped telling the story, stating that he gives the rest if he is released from prison. Taking the third unspoken rule, Date decided to Psync with him and extract the information himself
* **At night, before Midnight** - Saito, in Boss, broke into the Sagan Residence and took Hitomi hostage. He left Boss's phone behind as he took her to Boss's house instead. He strapped her down to bombs and placed a camera in front of her to start streaming within the next few hours.
	+ **Around 11:00 PM:**
		- Date psynced into Rohan's Somnium, where he witnessed the moment Falco, in Rohan's body, accidentally shot Hitomi trying to kill Rohan, in Falco's body. At the end of the Somnium, Boss appeared behind "Rohan" to capture "Falco."
		- So Sejima's housekeeper found So's body stuffed inside a vase. She reported his death to the police.
	+ **Around 11:00 PM to Midnight** - With the Psync over, Pewter told Date about So's body being found. Date decided to investigate Boss's Office, and once they checked her computer, he and Aiba found a video of "So Sejima" being shot by "Boss" in the head.

### November 5th

* **Around Midnight** - Saito, in Boss, coordinates with the SAT squad to surround the Sagan Residence to capture Date, declaring him as the culprit of the killings.
* **12:19 AM** - Date and Aiba discussed the various points of evidence they have against Boss as the killer, including her alibi for all the murders. Aiba tracked Boss's phone to the Sagan Residence, and the two headed there.
* **1:03 AM** - Date arrived at the Sagan Residence, but was quickly surrounded by the SAT team led by Saito, as Boss. With Aiba's help, Date took down the SAT team and Saito using a dust explosion. Date took Saito to ABIS in order to Psync with him.
* **2:31 AM** - Date ventured into Saito's Somnium, where he witnessed memories of each of the different victims being killed by the subsequent victims of this case, an allusion to Saito's parasitism. At the end of the Psync, Date saw Saito take Hitomi away into a locked room.
* **3:14 AM** - Date took "Boss" into the interrogation room and, combining clues and information he had obtained over the course of the case (including across other timelines), determined that Saito is the true killer and is inside Boss's body. Saito confessed to all the crimes that have occurred (in this timeline), describing in detail every action and step he took to capture and kill his targets. He also revealed that Date's current body is in fact Saito's original body, and that his goal was always to ultimately return home to his original body.
* **Around 4:00 AM** - The livestream began showing Hitomi strapped to a bomb, which the MPD caught on. Saito offered to give her location to Date in order to save her, but only if Date swapped bodies with Saito, in order to restore his original body. Date agreed, and he took Saito to the Psync room.
* **4:28 AM** - Date and Saito swapped bodies. Date, now in Boss, fell to the ground due to the injuries the body sustained in the dust explosion. However, the exchange came in too late, as the bomb strapped to Hitomi blew up live on stream. Saito, back in his original body prepared to walk free, but Aiba, still in the same eye socket she was always in, sent an electric shock to Saito, knocking him down. Date, falling unconscious from his injuries, begins to wonder about a better outcome, and his memories are seemingly transferred to the Resolution Timeline.
* **Rest of the day** (the following is speculative) - Saito is presumably arrested by the MPD through his video-recorded confession. Date, now trapped inside Boss's body, vowed to take revenge against Saito.
