Kurusu Nono, student council president of Hekiho Academy, is pulled into the investigation after her adoptive brother Miyashiro Takuru begins probing the pattern of horrific self-inflicted deaths. As the case deepens, their search suggests they may be targets as well. The prologue anchors the mood on November 3rd, tying the present darkness to the “Shibuya Earthquake” and the academy born from reconstruction.","Six years have passed since the series of grotesque serial murders known as the “New Generation Madness” struck Shibuya. Now, just over half a decade later, people are dying on the very same days that each past incident took place—almost as if the cases of years past are being imitated. A man devours his own arm; a woman slits open her own stomach; and a man twists his own head oÆ􀂒 from his spine.  \nKurusu Nono, the student council president of Hekiho Academy, has her life upended when her adoptive brother, Miyashiro Takuru, be‐ gins investigating the string of cases. The deeper her brother gets into the pursuit, the more the two of them Ç􀂔nd that danger lies in wait around every corner—and that they themselves may be the ones being pursued...  \nThe Ç􀂔rst oÆ􀂛􀂔cial complementary novel for the massively popular visual novel “Chaos;Child” is Ç􀂔nally available!  \n9  \nPrologue  \nNovember 3rd  \nThe Shibuya sky lies just beyond the window, stained pitch black; it’s an overcast night sky, bereft of a single star.  \nSix years ago, a powerful earthquake struck the city of Shibuya without warning, leaving unprecedented levels of destruction in its wake. The disaster was dubbed the “Shibuya Earthquake” by the me‐ dia, and in its immediate aftermath, the city’s sky was covered by a thick darkness—much like the one before me now.  \nNot long after the tremors ceased, the reconstruction of the ru‐ ined city began. The work to rebuild and restore proceeded at a fervent pace, and now, only a few scars remain of that disaster long past.  \nOne such scar is Hekiho Academy—a school designated as a sym‐ bol of the reconstruction eÆ􀂒ort, built to accommodate both middle and high school students that fell victim to the earthquake. It’s an academy so young, even its oldest students are only in their Ç􀂔nal year; it doesn’t have a single alum to its name.  \nAs for myself, I represent the school as its student council presi‐ dent, as well as the vice president of its newspaper club. Right now, I Ç􀂔nd myself standing alone within the Newspaper Club’s clubroom. Since today is a national holiday—Culture Day—the school is other‐ wise devoid of people. Naturally, this means that neither the club presi‐ dent, nor the club’s other members are present, leaving the room feel‐ ing far more spacious than usual.  \nReÉ􀂘ecting on my memories now, I realize that I’ve never really been alone in this room before. Whenever I’ve been here, it’s always been with others—with people that I feel like I can be myself around. But, when I think back to the Newspaper Club’s beginnings...
