I hope this gets picked up again by some other magazine. I really loved the setting and I feel like the author wasn't expecting it to end so fast since the plot doesn't feel like it's come very far.
Don't forget to support the author through the links from this post!!!
The reporter was the actual person behind the dismembered body murders, the teacher's murder and Rina's death. It seems like he's been stalking her since he saw her as a child (the day he murdered the teacher)
