D arrived in front of a house carrying a large bag over his shoulder. Dat proceeds to ring the doorbell twice and steps back several inches. *Ding dong... Ding dong*. “DDDD!!!!” D shudders when he heard his name was called with great zeal. The front door slams open and D could feel the shock wave as the door passes him. In front of D, stood a boy that is seventeen-years-old in a penguin suit, the boy's face could be seen through the mouth of the penguin.

D has been dreading this moment the second he called the owner of the house. “YOU CAME TO SEE MEEEEEE!!!!” Exclaimed the creepy guy in the penguin suit. “Koban, calm down,” said D, gesturing with both his hands in front of him. “You never call me, reply to my messages, nor answer my calls! But when you called me last night asking for my help, I was so happy that I couldn't sleep for the rest of the night!” said Koban with his hands (flippers) up in the air. To be honest... I really didn't want to call you for help, but there's no one else I know that could help me... “Well don't just stand there! Come on in!” And with that, Koban waddles back into his house, while D slightly moans as he walks inside. “Uugggghhh...”

Koban is a very mysterious (and creepy) guy that is always wearing a penguin suit whenever D sees him. D and Koban first met when they were at an anime convention. At first, Koban was wearing a t-shirt and jeans, but as he got closer to D, he was suddenly wearing a penguin suit. D freaked out when he noticed the immediate change, but no one else seemed to notice. For some odd reason, Koban seemed to believe that D is a very good friend and forced him to take an iphone with his contact information already on it (that couldn't be deleted nor blocked). It is currently unknown to D why Koban wears a penguin suit, but then again, D thought it might be better if he doesn't know.

One other reason D would ever go to Koban for help because he's an expert in digital programming, hacking (that explains the undeletable and unblockable phone number...), and has experience in multiple engineering fields. To further prove this, Koban had won many notable awards and is acknowledged by almost every other programmer and admired by hackers across the continent. (Although they probably don't realize that he's constantly wearing a penguin suit...).

Dat had been sitting in the living room for nearly two hours before Koban called him over. When Dat enters the room where Koban and the girl-like figure were, Koban was still standing in the opposite direction of D. “Okay, I'm here.” Said Dat. Koban continued to face the opposite direction. “Koban?...” No reaction... D crosses his arm and taps his feet in impatience until suddenly...

In a flash, Koban turns his body 180 degree towards D! D jumps at the sudden movement. Koban starts to casually talk to D as if nothing happened. “Good to see you're here now!” (I've been here the whole time!). “Anyway, you were pretty lucky that you cut the threads since the threads here connects the girl to a power source that enables her to move. So far there's two way you could have stopped this girl. The first method is to destroy the source of power that was located in the set of crosses. The other method, which you did without realizing, was by cutting the girl's connection to the power source.”

“That explains why she wouldn't stop moving when I put two arrows into her head and snapped her neck!” exclaimed D. “Now, I can start looking for answers as to why this girl... No... Why all the strange events been happening to me. D explains to Koban what happened to him in the last few days. “Hmm... Okay, how about this? It seems like you'll still be attacked, so if possible, bring the materials of the ones who attacked you so I'll have enough information to trace it back to the origin.” “Okay, sounds good. Not good, the probability of seeing Koban more just skyrocketed if I'm constantly assaulted.

Back at the Vindicate building, D had already swept the glass away and covered the broken with a cardboard box after he took pictures that he gave to Koban. D was sitting at a table scratching his head while thinking. (What should I do now? I barely have any other leads beside the marionette I gave to Koban and the possibility that the “victim” I asked a few days earlier may have been the start of my problems). D decided to be productive and heads out with his equipment.

In Decorous, it's normal to see people walking around with weapons, whether it be a gun, sword, axe, etc. The belief was that since the Decorous police may not always arrive on time to help anyone in immediate danger from someone else, citizens may get a weapon's license to carry a weapon. To obtain a weapons permit, the person must pass a test which varies depending on the weapon the person wants to use. There are currently four ranks of a weapon's license. The first rank is the Novice weapon permit, where a person trains under a more experienced person until he or she decides that the person they're training is ready to use it by themselves and that they would not abuse having weapons. The next rank would be the Bronze weapon rank, anyone with this rank is only allowed to carry one weapon with them to areas that don't prohibits weapons. D currently has a Silver weapons permit, which allows him to carry multiple weapons while also having the benefits of bringing them into more restricted areas that normally prohibits everyone else who has a Bronze weapon permit or lower. The highest permit is Gold weapons permits. The Gold weapons permit allows the person to bring their weapons where ever they want to go. So far, only a couple hundred people have the Gold weapons permit.

D went to a pharmacy to purchase multiple Proliferates. In D's home country, Acrimony, a team of researchers developed an extremely strong drug that rapidly increases plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and sufficient skin cells. If a person were to lose liters of blood, he or she may inject him/herself with Proliferates so that the blood left in the body may multiply and some skin cells will cover the open wounds, thus saving the person from dying from lack of blood. When Proliferates were first introduced, they were extremely expensive, that only the wealthy were able to buy. However, a couple thieves managed to steal the formula to create Proliferates and published it on the web. As companies found out how to make Proliferates, they started to mass produce them, causing deflation and a drastic decrease in prices, enough where the lower-middle class were able to purchase them. The thought of criminals purchasing Proliferates forces the store to make sure that the person who purchases them provide a proper I.D card. Anyone who is blacklisted by the police is unable to buy Proliferates.

Proliferates may sound like it would solve every medical problem involving lose of blood, it doesn't. There was once a criminal who was in a firefight with the police. He was shot numerous times, to which he then ejects himself with Proliferates. In the span of thirty minutes, he had ejected five proliferates. When the police got to him, they found out that he drowned in his own blood since his body was unable to hold so many liters of blood. It was tested that Proliferates could only be used once per hour minimum or else the blood inside the body would multiply too rapidly for the body to handle.

Meanwhile, Quan was examining the monitors that shows what his dolls sees for the day. Quan notices that one of the monitors were blank. That's weird... thought Quan. Quan rewinds the footage and sees Dat shooting arrows at the marionette and at the ending where he cuts the wire. What! I can't believe this! Quan was frustrated that Dat wasn't captured and one of his precious dolls was ruined. Quan picks up Michelle and turns her towards him. “What are your thoughts on this troublesome boy?” Michelle responds, “You were going to eventually encounter people who could fight back, my idea would be to make stronger and smarter dolls.” “Ah! Of course! I was so busy on making them beautiful that I forgot about the effectiveness of capturing people since all the people we caught so far were imbeciles!” Quan quickly gets out of his chair and goes into his room where he designs future dolls. “For now, every new doll I make to replace a person who's appearance I find hideous shall be more aggressive...”
