The next day, the Ecumenia arson scandal made the front page of major newspapers.

The death toll has also been told, 35 in all, and that number may increase in the next one to two days.

Because some of the injured are still being rescued because of their injuries, but the chances are slim. The news also specifically mentioned a female painter who had just joined the company, only 22 years old this year, with more than 90% of her skin severely burned, and her entire face was almost melted.

Although she was being rescued by the doctors with all her might, she was lying on the hospital bed, muttering three words all the time.

"Let Me Die......

Countless outstanding artists were killed in the accident, all the original manuscripts stored in the East Ani 3rd Studio building were destroyed, and many long-awaited animation works were stillborn.

The number of injured people also reached 45, and the media called it the largest and worst arson case since Heisei.

The main culprit of the incident is named Aoba Yanmori, unemployed, without a specific residence, and the prisoner lived in a cheap small hotel that day. He has a criminal history of robbery, and was also burned by fire in the arson case, and is now being resuscitated in the hospital.

Angry people surrounded the hospital that rescued Aoba Yanmori, asking why the hospital wanted to save this murderous demon, he should have died in pain, and some even issued death threats to the doctor who treated Aoba Yanmori: If he comes back to life, I promise that it will be you who will die.

It was not until the mother of one of the victims, whose son had died in the fire, appeared in the eyes of the people who looked dull and emaciated.

With tears in her eyes and trembling lips, she said in front of the camera, "My son died in the fire, he was doused with gasoline and burned alive. I hope the doctor will bring the prisoner back to life, because I want to ask him why he did what he did, and let him be sentenced to death again!"

"I don't want this demon to walk with my son on the road to Yellow Springs, my son doesn't want to see him!"

The words touched everyone, and everyone present was moved to hear the earnest words of this mother, who had just experienced the pain of losing her child.

The whole society was in a state of mourning.

The main culprit, Aoba Yanmori, is still unconscious, but the police have begun to investigate his motives.

According to insiders, Aoba sent letters to KyoAni several times before committing the crime, in which he expressed his protest, believing that KyoAni had a plot plagiarized from him in a recent anime work.

However, after investigation, the police did not find that any of his personal works had been published in any publications. So there's no need to verify whether it's plagiarism, and it's still a little difficult to plagiarize an unpublished work, unless Oshii Ann sneaks into this guy's apartment to peek at him.

And thinking that Dong Ani's animation plagiarized him is probably his main motive.

Two days later, the guy finally regained consciousness in his hospital bed, and when he learned that he had burned more than 30 people, his first words were, "So much? I thought there were only two dead?"

The second sentence is, "So, I'm pretty capable."

The anger of the crowd was directly detonated by this madman, and some people even climbed the wall of the hospital building in the middle of the night and tried to sneak into the ward to kill this guy, but they were stopped by the patrol police.

Aoba's strict trial has been going on for a long time, committing such a serious crime and causing a large number of killings. Even in a country where the judiciary is dominated by abolitionists, the death penalty is no longer in the way.

Three days have passed since the East Ani arson, and a new episode of the TV series has been broadcast here, but the ratings have dropped dramatically.

It's not the problem of the drama, but suddenly there was such a serious social turmoil, and many people's attention was taken away by news programs. Not only did "Homeless Kids" drop, but so did the ratings for "Gemini Detectives."

But no one in the main creative team cares about the ratings, Higashi Ani is a well-known production company in the industry, and has also cooperated with Fukuyama Terrace, and some of the people killed in this incident were even Yui Mizuhara

Once a good friend.

During this time, many people were busy mourning.

Kei Fujiwara wanted to visit Oshii-an in the hospital, but when he arrived at the hospital, he found that he had been discharged and no one answered the phone.

A female clerk of the crew even cried directly during the filming, and only after questioning did she know that her boyfriend was one of the victims of the East Ani incident. The two had planned to get married next year.

An atmosphere of sadness enveloped everyone for a while.

The actors became a little absent-minded, and the performance effect was very poor, and even Inoue Morimata, who has always been dedicated, became often distracted and frequently forgot words.

Kobayashi Shuzo felt that she was frightened, such a young child, not long ago, she went to visit Dongani, but within a few days, these people were murdered by a madman, and her outlook on life was only afraid that they would be impacted. So I didn't blame her, even if it was NG all day.

Fujiwara Kei hurriedly asked Yui Mizuhara to find a few psychotherapists to come over and give psychological intervention to all members of the crew, the sooner the better.

However, seeing that Yui Mizuhara herself had become a little confused, Kei Fujiwara sighed and had to contact it himself.

Several psychotherapists came to the crew in person and talked to some people who were more seriously stimulated and had relatives and friends who died in the accident one by one, and Fujiwara Kei didn't know if it could have an effect, but this kind of thing is better than not doing well.

Kei Fujiwara's own mood has also become a little irritable, and when he was in the office, he often held a pen in the past two days, but he couldn't write a word.

The greenery on the windowsill had lost its calming effect, and when he looked out the window, Fujiwara thought of the scene of the black smoke that day.

"Dongdong."

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Keido Fujiwara.

The door was slowly opened, and Inoue Mori poked his head in from behind the door, "Fujiwara-sensei, are you busy right now?"

"Mori, come in." Kei Fujiwara said, "What's the matter?"

Inoue Mori walked in again, gently closed the office door, and sat down somewhere at random, with his hands on his laps very obediently.

"Actually...... There's nothing special about it, I just want to stay with Fujiwara-sensei for a while and talk for a while."

"Okay." Kei Fujiwara smiled at her, "I want someone to talk to, do you want something to drink?" Is banana milk OK?"

Kei Fujiwara handed over a carton of drinks, which Yui Mizuhara had bought to replenish his strength.

Inoue shook his head again.

"I forgot you don't drink these......

"Fujiwara-sensei, is life always so fragile?" At this moment, Inoue Mori suddenly asked again.

"My dad too, died so easily. At that time, I couldn't even understand death, and I even thought that people don't die, because I had never seen a person die in front of me. People will die is a lie of the TV station, just to sell health products. Until my dad killed himself."

Inoue Mori took out another piece of paper from the backpack behind him, which had been carefully molded, and it was the original drawing paper he got in East Ani.

"Naomi-sama is also dead...... She gave me such a precious gift a few days ago, and such a nice person like her, such a gentle and talented person, was casually killed by a fellow like a mouse......

Tears kept pouring out of Morimata's eyes, "I just feel that life is too fragile. It's so fragile that it's sad, and these days when I close my eyes is Miss Naomi's smile."

Sobbs rang out in the empty office.

Kei Fujiwara suddenly remembered the summer of '94.

To be precise, it was the summer before he came to the book in 94, when he was still in the prime of life, but he died of heat stroke, and an adult man without disease was easily killed by the sun.

That's right, Mori, life is so fragile!

An ant, a drop of water, a leaf can take a person's life.

but

It was Fujiwara Kei who couldn't say this, so he could only sit beside her wordlessly.

Suddenly, Inoue Mori threw himself into his arms again and began to cry.

"Fujiwara-sensei, I'...... I'm really scared...... I'm so afraid that all these people I like will disappear one day, I like Mom, I like you, I like Miss Suwon, but I'm afraid that one day you will be ...... I hope that day never comes!"

Tears and snot touched Kei Fujiwara's body, and this was a rare gaffe for this thirteen-year-old girl.

Inoue Mori was tired of crying again, and fell asleep directly on the sofa in the office, and Fujiwara Kei saw that it was getting late, so he directly carried her to the car and drove him home.

After sending Inoue Mori home again, Kei Fujiwara drove alone, and when he passed by Tokyo Animation, he deliberately paused and looked at the charred building thoughtfully.

Suddenly, he thought of something, and turned the steering wheel in the direction of Ueno Park.

Kei Fujiwara came to the door of Nagaharu Ohno's house and knocked on the door fiercely, and after Nagaharu Ohno opened the door, Kei Fujiwara walked in without saying a word.

"Are you alright?" Nagaharu Ohno asked.

"It's okay."

Nagaji Ohno silently took out two cans of beer from the refrigerator and handed one to Kei Fujiwara.

Kei Fujiwara took two sips of beer and suddenly asked, "Has your movie started?"

Ohno Nagaji said: "The actors have been almost found, and they are ready to start shooting in the next two days."

"Let's change the script."

"Good...... Huh?" Nagaharu Ohno was stunned, "Change the script? Why?"

"I have a ...... What you want to shoot more......" Kei Fujiwara said silently.

As he spoke, he took a piece of paper and silently wrote a few large characters on it.

"Suddenly Looking Back".
