"Other than Sakuta Azusagawa being at the scene, there was no one else involved in the so-called violent incident..."
The moment he said that, Saika Totsuka was the first to lose it. "Th-That can't be possible!"
If there had only been one person, what kind of violent incident was that supposed to be?
"Self-harm?" Yukino Yukinoshita asked again.
"No..." Sogo Doma shook his head once more. "His injuries appeared suddenly. They appeared out of thin air..."
"How could that be!?" Even Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't keep it together this time.
"That's simply the truth..." Sogo Doma said. "It's just that..."
"It's just that?"
"Sakuta Azusagawa's 'violent incident' wasn't the only one. Before this, his little sister, Azusagawa Maple, experienced something similar. Wounds appeared on her body for no apparent reason as well..."
"This..."
"Sakuta Azusagawa had seen that happen, so I speculate that the reason wounds began appearing on his body out of nowhere was because he had become aware of the supernatural!"
The supernatural attracted more supernatural things...
"Wait a minute!" Yukino Yukinoshita seemed to have recalled something. "If I remember correctly, th-that Sakuta Azusagawa's little sister was called Azusagawa Kaede..."
"That's right, but Azusagawa Maple and Azusagawa Kaede are the same person..."
"Huh?"
"Do you know why I keep saying that the more someone learns about and comes into contact with the supernatural, the more the supernatural descends upon them?" Sogo Doma said again. "Though I currently only have two... no, three research subjects, so the sample size is quite small, I've still observed a phenomenon in them—"
"It's exactly what I just said: the more you understand it, the more the supernatural will descend upon you!"
"..."
"Do you know why Azusagawa Maple became Azusagawa Kaede?"
"..." Yukino Yukinoshita, Saika Totsuka, and even Utaha Kasumigaoka shook their heads.
