    Summary

    This page takes a look at Document Number DGY-06-01. DGY stands for Daguanyuan, 06 is for Sinner Number 6 (typically Hong Lu), and 01 designates this as the first document taken in by the department. This looks to be the "prologue" document to a much larger document showcasing a mirror world where Hong Lu was not the sixth sinner of Limbus Company. In his absence, the spot is filled by a scholar forced into squalor after the tragic events that happened to his family. The ripple effect that comes from these changes isn't fully yet seen here, as this is a recap of Manager Dante's time with Confucius, but the rest of the document, whenever we get it, will showcase what's happened to Daguanyuan after these developments and how it'll impact Limbus Company as they aim to grab another Golden Bough.

    (Prelude fic to a larger fic where Jia Qiu is Sinner #6. A lot of this is just canto recaps for Confucius's reactions to the situations Hong Lu got himself into + some teasing of the overarcing fic plot.)

    Summary

    Bakugou is sitting in the police station.

    Time isn’t moving forward with him. It has a hand over his mouth holding him back, holding him down, beneath the surface of the unreal waters which suspend him. All sounds reach his ears muffled. The phone ringing, and the station hand answering. Chatter, officers exchanging details, Bakugou winces at the utterance of the word “explosion”. None of it is real. None of it can be happening to him.

    He jangles the handcuffs on his wrist, and this attracts the weary attention of the station hands. The cuffs aren’t necessary. He is not going anywhere. He sits, and he stares forward, and his ears ring.

    Bakugou has fucked up. Bakugou understands for the first time in his life the sensation of fucking up beyond repair. He is watching dreams evaporate in front of his eyes, staring forward unseeingly at the pallid white floor tiles around him. His eyes trace their lines. He does not see them. They are not real. He is not real. He has fucked up. He has fucked up.

    This story does an excellent job with building atmosphere. I could feel the creeping dread/discomfort building in my stomach as I read it and the uncomfortable feeling of hopelessness at the end was very well done.

    Summary

    To call Enji Todoroki’s murder a scandal would be to understate it. To call it a national obsession would come much closer, yet still fail to capture a certain spirit around it.

    It was an obsession of public conscience, with a frenetic, itchy, almost shameful energy roused from an entire society now reminded of the scandal 10 years back when Enji's eldest son took to the airwaves and revealed, in gruesome detail with a series of recorded tapes, the depths of Enji Todoroki’s domestic abuse. A scandal which Enji had gotten away with, entirely.

    Suddenly, seeing the image of this man, now crumpled small and dead and ugly beside the dumpster of a waterlogged and grimy alley, sent him to the dogs. This man who was now no one’s hero and no one’s protector was no one worth protecting, anymore.

    But perhaps the sad and ugly figure he cut dead and bloody in the putrid alleyway was only a fraction of the explanation for the public revolt against Enji. The stronger reason, alive where Enji was now dead, came in the form of the main suspect and man accused of Enji’s murder: his youngest son and the Number 2 Hero Shouto Todoroki.
