Soon, the Raiden Shogun found the Yashiro Commission's document on abolishing the Vision Hunt Decree among the pile of official papers. It listed five major reasons, such as intensifying social tensions, various adverse reactions among those whose Visions had been confiscated, and forcing those whose Visions had not yet been confiscated to join the resistance.

Yet the documents the Tenryou Commission and the Kanjou Commission submitted to her made no mention of these problems whatsoever. They said only that everything was going smoothly.
The Tenryou Commission was even planning a grand Vision Hunt Ceremony in the near future, supposedly to celebrate the hundredth Vision being inlaid upon the Thousand-Armed, Hundred-Eyed Statue. They had also invited her to attend as proof of the Vision Hunt Decree's interim achievements.
