##### The suicide of high school girl

Minoru Minorikawa, still a novice, found much to be suspicious when he reported on the suicide of a high school girl, Chiharu Fuyutsuki, because it was impossible for a student to commit suicide for no reason. But when he refused to prove no bullying at school and other media outlets concluded with Neurasthenia, he was banned by City News's editor for simply not dwelling on the issues. The passive Minorikawa was subsequently taught a lesson by Teruo Toyama of Copy editor for his tendency to give up on goals and his own“Write whatever you want” rule. Since then, Minorikawa has used his own style to cover events as a freelance journalist.

Six years after the incident, he met Chiharu Fuyutsuki's teacher as the next clue in the case. After that, the status of his investigation is unknown.

#### 2003

##### The attempted arson of financial office

A man for some reason tried to use gasoline to burn down financial offices, including a number of civilians. Police officers, including officer Shinya Kano, were trying to subdue the prisoner when Kyuzo Tateno, who had decided to commit suicide, confronted him and used a variety of methods, including pouring gasoline on himself. Eventually the prisoner succumbed to Tateno's extreme bargaining. This moved Kano so much that he took Tateno as his mentor and even used Dick Diary to record Tateno's quotes.

##### The birth and change of S.O.S.

It also made Susumu hate Achi.

Shortly thereafter, Yoji Kiryu, who had been ousted from the group in Ikebukuro, arrived in Shibuya and joined S.O.S. as Susumu's second-in-command. However, the rebellious spirit in his bones led him to plan Susumu's ouster and successfully recruit a number of people to act as his right-hand men.

The police have begun a campaign against the Osawa kidnapping. They arranged for Hitomi Osawa to wait in front of the Hachi statue at Shibuya station, as promised. At the same time, young people are going out to pick up garbage once a day activity.

* **Shinya Kano** - He and his colleague Yuji Sasayama watched and chatted nearby. When the kidnappers took the ransom, regardless of HQ's order, he hurried to chase. However, Kano failed to catch the kidnapper, who sent him away and fled by throwing the ransom money to an accomplice under the bridge.
* **Achi Endo** - He left the electronics store run by his now-derelict father for a trash-picking operation that began six months ago. Halfway through, he lectured two cowherds about forcing girls to "Go to work” and spitting gum. When he arrived at Shibuya station, he noticed Hachiko's likeness in front of the girl (Hitomi Osawa). However, as he watched the police pursue a foreigner, he noticed a killer with a pistol next to the girl. Without thinking, he pulled the girl away from the sight of the killer. While hiding out in his friend's abandoned shop, he learns about the girl's condition, but the killer follows...

##### 11:00

The police have made no progress and the girl's life is in danger. At this time, more people also began to walk in the gears of time.

* **Shinya Kano** - After a fruitless chase, he learned from HQ that the kidnappers were in Dōgenzaka, and he hurried there. However, his fiancee Rumi's father asked to meet him at this inopportune moment, and he has not yet done so for the sake of the kidnappers' progress. But he grew suspicious and tired of the kidnappers who kept swapping boxes, and he learned that their gang was professional criminals.
* **Achi Endo** - He and the girl escaped from the Killer with Cane. Then they run away for a while and meet his former best friend Susumu, now in a one-sided, hateful relationship. On the way, the girl mentioned that the kidnappers had asked her to go to Dōgenzaka to find a blue van to pick up her sister. They finally found the blue van, but he saw through the kidnapper's plan and continued to escape with the girl. He also found that killer with cane who was chasing him.
* **Minoru Minorikawa** - He rushed to his former boss and friend Teruo Toyama's company, Heaven Publishing House, because Toyama was trying to commit suicide. On the way, he had to take a taxi (driven by Hachiro Kimizuka). After he stopped him and berated him, Toyama described the reason for his suicide: customers were getting their winnings because the scratch card could see the winning area by the light, as a result, he lost almost all of his money and ran up debt, while his employees fled. Now he has to deal with magazine projects that he proofread today but has not yet finished interviewing. To save Toyama and his daughter, Hana, Minorikawa began planning the content for the magazine project, and called rookie writer Chiaki ISO for help.

* **Kenji Osawa** - He was at home listening to Aya Kamika's *The World Doesn't Change So Easy* to calm his nerves and began answering emails. Instead, he found an e-mail from“A” with pictures of a UA patient who had died in South Africa a year earlier, apparently accusing him of a "Crime”. At the same time, his wife, AI, argued with him about the invitation to the American Institute. Later, by further reply from“A,” he learned that his company, Okoshi Pharmaceuticals, was conducting clinical trials of an antiviral drug without his knowledge. He angrily called his boss, Makino, to complain. Then he continued to stay in his study, listening to Ai's selfish whining about the ransom and to Detective Kajiwara's reminders. To relieve his stress, he flipped through his photo album. In his elementary school graduation photo, he noticed his daughter Maria's displeasure and thought about his incompetence as a father.
* **Tama** - She wore a Muppet costume under the sun while selling the diet drink "Burning Hammer” until the end of the morning. To earn 20,000 yen. However, because of a broken zipper, she was unable to take off her puppet costume and had to watch her colleague Chiriko Osugi eat all her lunch while she drank only a little tea.

Tama and colleague Chiriko Osugi continue to work for the shipment of Boss Jun' ichi Yanagishita.

* **Shinya Kano** - He and Sasayama are still impatiently following the kidnappers who have been exchanging suitcases, which makes them wonder about their motives. As Sasayama investigates the girl who has been questioning others (Chiaki Iso), he continues to follow the prisoner, recalling how he met Kyuzo Tateno, whom he believes to be his mentor, three years ago. After that, he could no longer stand the constant stalking, so he and Sasayama planned to surround the kidnappers. He would eventually hand the suitcase over to an accomplice foreign kidnapper who caught him, but the kidnapper fought back and was subdued by another foreigner. The Foreigner, Jack Stanley, claimed to be a security assistance officer at the American embassy. Stanley announced he was a temporary employee, and though he was skeptical, director Yoji Kuze confirmed it. Then he got bad news: Hitomi and Tateno were missing.
* **Achi Endo** - After hiding in the Nokane building for some time, he and Hitomi came out and returned to Dogenzaka to continue the search for the blue van. On the way, he was provoked to bring down the men of Susumu's second-in-command, Yoji Kiryu, and met the murderous Kiryu himself. They meet the killer with cane again as they communicate in search of the blue minivan. However, he vaguely hears the killer with cane calling his name. Finally, he used some of the boxes with things to stop the killer and escaped again. In hiding, he tells Hitomi why he helped her: he accepted the advice of his sister Suzune, who is in hospital, to help others to the end.
* **Minoru Minorikawa** - He found a passer-by (Taisei Yasuda) to take a look at the security cameras, though he used aggressive inducements. Then he found a coffee shop and tried to write, but he had to move to Lautrec, another smokable coffee shop, because he needed a cigarette. After completing his interview material for the security camera, he interviewed the overeating girl (Chiriko Osugi) and got a flyer with a map for the Burning Hammer sale. While preparing to go to the Burning Hammer sale, Chiaki called to say that she was giving up. He immediately went to Shibuya to instruct Chiaki on how to conduct the interview, and then sped off to his destination.
* **Kenji Osawa** - He gets used to the AI's personality and acquiesces to her going out and listening to Kajiwara complain about his relationship with the AI. He then discussed with Mamoru Tanaka how Suguru Makino could take the antiviral drug out for clinical trials under tight security. Then he had to deal with what Kajiwara called an "Emergency”: unblocking a clogged toilet, even though he had never done housework before. Tanaka entered the toilet and provided him with a text message from Hitomi indicating that she was in danger. However, Kajiwara's harassment was too much for him to bear, so he went out for a walk and helped a father and daughter, Teruo Toyama and Hana, escape from creditors. When he got home, he saw Kajiwara pull out something that clogged the toilet: a plane ticket. This prompted him to investigate the room of the man most likely to throw the ticket-Ai's room, and found the magazine Four-star General Gossip, which had written about their marriage.
* **Tama** - At the end of her lunch break, she was instructed by Yanagishita to carry down a box of“Anagotchi” toys from the warehouse and then went out to look for the Burning Hammer. However, Burning Hammer was taken by the Recycler and Yanagishita had to split up with Chiri to look for it. Along the way she was interviewed by Chiaki Iso. After a fruitless search, she returned to the sales. But Yanagishita heard that the Recycler had returned the Burning Hammer to the door. When she opened the box, all she saw was the Burning Hammer falling to pieces.
