POLICE STATION
"What are you thinking about Lore? From the time you returned from the supermarket, your thoughts are all over the place." Sienna asked as she kept the mirror down on the study table and walked to her sister who was putting her glass upside down.
"Uhh?"
"You are wearing it wrong," Sienna spoke as she grabbed the glasses from her sister and placed it in place.
"T-thank you. It is getting late for you, let's go."
"I am not a baby to be dropped off. I can walk myself and you need to go search for a job." Sienna complained because her sister was adamant about dropping her off at the school all of a sudden.
"You listen to me now. If I say something, then there would be a reason."
"Did you just witness some murder or rape? You are behaving so strangely and it is scaring me now."
"S-sienna." Lorene raised her voice because in no way she would let her sister know anything that happened.
She had to keep her sister safe and if she knows anything, that would only gain more danger. The person who committed the murder is not even human, what if he was right there, listening to her? She looked around frantically before shaking the thoughts off and grabbing her bag.
"Let's leave."
"Loreee, my friends are gonna make fun of me."
"There is nothing to make fun of in this. No one drops off their sister in school in this century or what? I just want to drop you off because even I am going that way." She came up with an excuse.
"There is just a labour hospital next to my school, Lore. What are you going to do there?" Sienna scoffed as she walked out, wearing her shoes hurriedly.

Lorene was now standing in front of the police station, confused about what to be done. As much as she knew, it was not going to be a good decision to complain against some supernatural creature, she just wanted to do it. She felt that it would not be safe enough to let someone like that roam around because the next victim wouldn't be that far. She was worried about her sister who plays in the neighbourhood when she is away at work.
"Miss, is there anything you need? You can't stand here for so long." A man asked as he noticed her being hesitant.
"I a-am here to re-register a complaint." She said, after taking a long breath with closed eyes.
"See, if it is about some silly cat fights then don't bother us and try to solve it among yourselves. We are really busy with important cases." He informed her as he noticed teenagers usually come in with such issues.
"No, sir. Th-this is something serious. May I just come in and talk?" She asked inching closer to him.
"Fine, come inside." He groaned as he walked inside with her following him.
He called one more officer and asked her in detail what was her complaint on about but her explanation only made them stare at each other for a few seconds. They just shook their head and let out a sigh before getting up.
"Miss, I clearly told you that we are busy with important cases. We do not have time to solve your mystery murder case."
"B-but sir, this is i-important." She said equally confused.
"How are we going to find the culprit when you haven't seen his face? You know nothing about him and we didn't get a body till now."
"Sir sir, there is an emergency down the seventh alley next to the supermarket. We need to go to the crime scene." Another man rushed in as he informed everyone else.
"W-what? Where?" She asked lowly while looking around.
"Hey, Peter! What is the reason for death?" The police who was talking to Lorene asked, his name is Roy.
"I just heard from the locals that it was a stab. We need to hurry before Mr.Andrew screws us."
"Fuck! H-he is joining?" Roy asked as he immediately grabbed his small bag and running out with Peter leaving Lorene confused along with the second police officer.
"Looks like you were not fully lying." The man huffed before packing his own pieces of stuff.
"Sir, I never lied. It is all true. The culprit is not a normal human. I saw him having a big rod stabbed in his chest and his blood dripping down with my own eyes." She said again, now a little more scared that the man might find her soon.
"Okay okay, we believed and now we have got the body too. Leave your details here so that we can contact you if needed." He spoke, pushing a paper to her.
'W-why? I do not want to get involved in this case." She immediately pushed it back.
'Oh? It doesn't work that way kid. You reported this murder first and you are the witness in this so now there is no backing off. Just leave the details and go. Who knows if you are also part of this murder."
"Sir, I w-was only trying to do a good thing. How can you make me a part of this? Do you think a simple girl like me can do a murder and then report myself?" She asked scared.
"This is the procedure so please do it instead of making me use the force. We do not have time for plays, right?" He asked again and she had to sign it with her details.
"I hate this world." She cursed as she walked out of the police station, head hung low.
Lorene was so into her thoughts that she didn't even notice the road or the place where she was walking to. It would have been a few minutes when she reached the main road and the vehicles flying across the road. It was the busiest time in Japan, and she was not living in a remote area even though it was hard for her to support herself financially. She had a roof over her head and she was very grateful for it.
"Fuck!" She cursed, as a car hit her legs, making her fall on the road, flat on her face.
