We Delve into the Darkness Behind the Mysterious Rogetsu Disappearances!
Six months have passed since the mass disappearances on Rogetsu Isle. With the investigation stalled, the incident is on the verge of being forgotten, but we have uncovered a sinister history that could be the key to solving the mystery!
The Bizarre Illness "Moonlight Syndrome"
We first focused our investigation on Moonlight Syndrome, a condition unique to the Rogetsu Islands. According to the medical expert we contacted, it is a type of amnesia with unusual additional symptoms such as sleepwalking and sufferers acting as though possessed by some force.
The Disaster of Rogetsu Legends Returns!
Folklorists familiar with the history of the islands say that this sickness has long been feared as a plague, so its reach clearly extends beyond the present-day incident into the island's murky past. Legend also tells of a strange incident in which over half of the inhabitants of Rogetsu Isle vanished!
Moonlight Syndrome En Masse?
What if the Rogetsu disappearances were caused by an endemic outbreak of Moonlight Syndrome? The island is surrounded by a vast ocean. One doesn't like to linger too long on the fate of those wandering outside, blissfully unaware of their surroundings.
Tourism Efforts "Cursed" the Island?
Some islanders were opposed to turning the Rogetsu Kagura, a ceremony that was supposed to appease the souls of the dead, into a tourist attraction. Could the real root of this bizarre case be the shallowness of those who tried to turn a sacred ceremony into a commercial spectacle?
Death of the Last Witness
Our only remaining lead was the last living witness to the incident, a young girl. Sadly, she died in the hospital several days ago. Reports say she used her final breath to cry out for her mother. What did this poor girl see on that fateful day? The answer is known only to the now-abandoned Rogetsu Isle...

■謎の集団失踪事件の闇に迫る
朧月島で発生した
集団失踪事件から、はや半年…
捜査は打ち切られ、忘れさられつつある
この事件だが、我々が独自に調査したところ
事件の重要な鍵といえる闇の歴史が
浮かび上がった。
■謎の病気 月幽病
我々はまず、島周辺のみで確認できる奇病
「月幽病」の存在に注目した。
専門医に聞いたところ、記憶障害の一種で
何かに憑かれたような振る舞いをする
夢遊病のような症状が特徴との事である。
■島の歴史に刻まれている災厄の再来
島周辺の歴史に詳しい民俗学者によると、
島ではこの病気の状態を古くから
伝染病のよう恐れていたという。
さらに島には、島民の大半が神隠しに
あったという伝承も存在していたのだ。
■集団的な月幽病か
仮に、何かが原因で月幽病が
集団発症したらどうなるか？
島の周囲は一面の海である。
…意識無くさまよった者がどうなるか
想像に難しくはない。
■観光化が祟りに触れた
神隠しで失われた魂を鎮める為か
島には「朧月神楽」という奇祭が存在する。
事件当時、神楽を観光行事化する
ことを懸念する声があったようだ。
神聖な神楽を観光資源にする
人間の浅ましさが怪事件の遠因なのか…？
■最後の証人も亡くなって…
しかし、真実を知る最後の生存者の少女も
先日病院で息をひきとった。
病床で「おかあさん」とつぶやいた少女は
何を見たのか。
答えは、今は寄りつく者さえいない
朧月島だけが知っている…。
