[Joker makes sure to specifically lock this to the lost souls of the Sutoku Alliance. He'd rather this not get out to other factions and, more importantly, to Kaberou. He'll make a vague play at anonymity, but he's not going to advertise this as officially The Phantom Thieves, since he's fairly sure several important people will be able to immediately tell it's him. But so be it.]

Hello everyone.

Seems like things started heating up in the last few days, which is why this information's been delayed a bit. You have my sincerest apologies.

During the meeting, a discussion was had about investigating Kaberou and trying to find what he's hiding. I think that continues to be important, and potentially even related to what happened earlier this week - at least loosely with regard, but I wanted to share my own findings from breaking into his extra secure fortress of an office.

-The board of directors has lost all faith and trust in him, and discussions are being had in consideration of a vote of no confidence. Kaberou's aware of this, and wrote in his personal notes that they "can fucking drown in the river for all I care." Doesn't seem to have been posted yet, but ??? He's still spiraling.

-Emotionally, he's about as much of a mess as you'd expect, so that's sincere. Thank god for basic decency. He has a whole board of photographs of Ringo-chan in his office and has a note in his office reminding himself that this is for her. His priority, far more than maintaining his empire which he seems to have all but abandoned, is definitely getting her home.

-He no longer trusts the Daitengu or the alliance. As a backer/supporter, I don't think he can be relied on much, even if we do regain that trust.

-He's received multiple of what are essentially polaroid photographs of Ringo-chan in which she's visibly alive, all of which have dates hard printed on the back. Her condition isn't great and she's definitely not happy to be there (obviously), but the photographs seem to be proof that she's alive, instead of proof that she's been punished even more for her father's actions. Notably, one of these photographs is dated after the broadcast, so if we trust the dates (which Kaberou clearly did), then we know she's alive and that we can save her.


The obvious motive is still true. He wants his daughter back. But, the fact that he's getting photos from Iron Bear means that there's a means for Iron Bear or his followers to contact him, which could mean that he's been given more specific demands that the Alliance (nor any of the factions) weren't privy to. But that's just conjecture for the most part. I still think it's worth looking further into, despite the recent difficulties the entire city's been put through.

If anyone has any further information regarding the bounty or Kaberou's involvement/contact with Iron Bear, this is a good place to put it.


[So much for keeping his head down...]
