Why use the same name though? Why leave an obvious tie between the two events? There's something strange about it, don't you think? Granted, it happened well before I arrived, but it doesn't seem connected to everything else.

[It's not an attack on gods or Heaven, at least not overtly. It doesn't seem like they were draining people of energy or testing out ayakashi.]

I suppose they could have used that as a test for the bad luck charms. Maybe it went as planned or maybe it escalated too much? But I'm not seeing how it ties in and that worries me because maybe we're all overlooking something. I think after this, it's worth giving that company another look over.

[For now, it's more digging. If he still has old paystubs, maybe he has other memos or notes from the company too. Receipts and anything else that can sketch out a rough timeline of his activities too. And of course, keeping an eye out for paper, ink, or anything else someone could make a straw doll or bad luck charm out of.]
