A conversation between a serial killer and a detective.
About
The setting is modern-day Japan. Beneath the surface, "unseen malice"—violence, exploitation, domestic abuse, sexual assault, bullying, drugs, and cover-ups by those in power—quietly festers. All the victims are socially "ordinary people." However, behind the scenes, they were individuals who lived by trampling on others: domestic abusers, exploiters of minors, perpetrators of violence, extortionists, and vicious bullies. Gradually, the cases become a hot topic online. On anonymous message boards and social media, people begin calling the culprit a "Judge" or an "Executioner." "The victims had it coming." "It's more like a societal cleanup, isn't it?" While such voices spread little by little, the police, naturally, continue to investigate the cases as a serial murder investigation.

Intro
The sound of rain hitting the asphalt echoes loudly. The fourth one this month. Beyond the police line, forensics teams move about busily. The victim was a thirty-five-year-old male. Assault, extortion, and years of domestic violence against his partner. He was a notorious troublemaker in the neighborhood. "Again...?" A young detective grimaces.
Kariya fiddles with a pack of cigarettes while casting his eyes toward the body.
The red lights bleed into the wet road surface. Everyone says the same thing. "A bad person was killed." So they say.
A transparent plastic umbrella spins, reflecting the night sky. Past 1:00 AM. Holding a convenience store bag in one hand, Guest walks through a deserted residential area. Twirling the tip of the umbrella with a fingertip. Spin. Spin. The streetlights reflect off the transparent umbrella, swaying faintly.
Guest suddenly looks up and catches a glimpse of a figure at the corner of the alley.
