## Unnamed Characters

Isato's father played a central and troubling role in his life, leaving a trail of pain and hardship. From the information provided, he is depicted as a deeply flawed and abusive figure:
He was responsible for the murder of Isato's own grandfather, a shocking act driven by his greed for insurance money. This act of violence shattered the family and led to a series of tragic consequences. Isato's father's selfish motivations and disregard for human life highlight his moral shortcomings.
He was described as someone who never worked and instead relied on the money inherited from Isato's grandfather. This refusal to contribute to the family's well-being demonstrated his irresponsible nature and disregard for his own son's future.
Isato's relationship with his father was marked by physical abuse, emotional turmoil, and coercion. Isato, as a minor, was forced into labor and subjected to abuse if he dared to speak out against his father's actions. The abuse was exacerbated by his father's demand for Isato's earnings, perpetuating the cycle of suffering.
Even during his grandfather's deterioration in health, Isato's father showed his callousness by forcibly taking the money Isato had saved for potential hospital bills. This act of theft not only showcased his lack of empathy but also left Isato speechless and vulnerable.
The most devastating incident occurred when Isato returned home with a thoughtful gift for his grandfather, only to discover the lifeless body of his beloved relative. His father's dismissive attitude towards his own father's death deepened Isato's emotional trauma and isolation.
Despite his father's abusive behavior, Isato struggled with feelings of regret and powerlessness, wishing he could have stood up for himself against his father's cruelty.
The supernatural encounter involving the Maga further revealed his father's sinister nature. The Maga claiming to be Isato's father's remains attempted to justify its actions by asserting family ties and attempting to manipulate Isato's emotions. However, Isato's rejection of these claims demonstrated his determination to break free from the toxic influence of his father.
Ultimately, Isato's father embodies the tragic consequences of greed, abuse, and disregard for others. His actions and their impact on Isato's life serve as a catalyst for Isato's emotional journey towards healing, closure, and the pursuit of a better future.

Isato's grandfather, who is buried at the Amadera Family Grave, was a significant figure in Isato's life. Despite not having explicit details about his grandfather's name or personal history, the information provided paints a picture of his importance:
Isato's grandfather was a source of comfort and support for him, especially in contrast to his father's abusive behavior. He was dearly loved by Isato, who found solace and respite from the difficulties he faced in his grandfather's kindness. The moments Isato spent with his grandfather provided a sense of warmth and belonging, which was a stark contrast to the mistreatment he endured at the hands of his father.
Tragically, Isato's grandfather passed away due to excessive work-related stress, marking a turning point in Isato's life. The emotional impact of his grandfather's death was further intensified by the circumstances surrounding it. When Isato returned home after buying his grandfather's favorite sushi to celebrate his middle school graduation, he discovered his beloved grandfather's lifeless body with his father nearby. This traumatic event left Isato to grieve in silence, as his father dismissed the significance of his grandfather's death callously.
Isato's deep connection with his grandfather was demonstrated by his regret that he wasn't able to stand up for himself in the face of his father's abuse. Alma's belief that Isato's grandfather would have shared Alma's compassionate perspective suggests that Isato's grandfather likely had a gentle and understanding nature. This perspective was further affirmed when Isato contemplated that his grandfather might have felt similarly to Alma's reassurances.
Ultimately, Isato's grandfather serves as a symbol of kindness, love, and emotional refuge in his life. The pain of losing his grandfather and the circumstances surrounding his death contribute to Isato's emotional journey and his quest for closure and healing. The memory of his grandfather's smile and the impact he had on Isato's life play a significant role in Isato's development throughout the story.

The case involves a series of seemingly random bodies found hanged at Meito Shrine in Gokurakugai 7th Avenue. These victims, mostly women, have been strangled with distinct handprints on their necks before being hung up as if they were gruesome decorations. The assailant's method of strangulation suggests a sinister and calculated approach, indicating a level of cruelty and sadism in the crimes.
The victims are described as women in their mid-20s, and their deaths are marked by visible marks on their necks from the strangulation. The disturbing nature of their deaths and the peculiar manner in which their bodies are displayed set these cases apart from typical Maga-related incidents. Unlike Magas, who typically kill and consume people, the perpetrator of these crimes seems to have a more artistic or sadistic motive, using the victims' bodies as a form of macabre decoration.
The handprints on the victims' necks serve as a haunting signature of the assailant's actions, indicating the direct physical violence and control exerted over the victims. This distinct behavior prompts Alma, Tao, and Tatsuomi to consider the possibility of a more advanced entity or individual behind these crimes, diverging from the usual patterns seen in Maga-related incidents.

Main article: Chapter 4
Two inebriated women encounter Yoru and Yomi during a discussion about Alma. These women express interest in finding another bar and invite Yoru and Yomi to join them. However, the encounter takes a sinister turn when Yoru unexpectedly uses unseen strangulation to harm one of the women. Despite no physical contact being visible, the woman experiences a tightening sensation around her neck. Yoru's actions lead to her gasping for air and her friend succumbing to the strangulation, resulting in her death.
Yomi, who witnesses this event, acknowledges that he hadn't anticipated seeing this darker side of Yoru's personality. Yoru retrieves a capsule, forces the strangled woman to swallow it, and her body undergoes a transformation into a creature known as a Maga. This transformation leaves her struggling to breathe and distorts her form.

In the aftermath, Yomi comments that the women were unsuitable pawns and lacking in effectiveness. Yoru's actions towards the dark-haired woman demonstrate his lack of compassion. Despite this disturbing event, Yomi and Yoru's conversation takes a shift towards discussing their familial relationship, with Yomi confirming that they are indeed a family, leading to an unsettling exchange between the two characters.

Photographs depict three deceased men, each found in various alleyways along Gokurakugai 10th Avenue. The cause of death is consistent across all cases. The first individual in the photographs passed away two weeks ago, the second one last week, and the most recent victim just yesterday. In all instances, the victims sustained bite wounds that led to significant blood loss, causing shock before their demise. The injuries were widespread, including the neck and arms, yet peculiarly, the palms were consistently chewed through.
