Police Report, City of Ohtori
The body of a high school student, Saionji Kyouichi, washed up on the shore outside the carnival on the north side of the bay. Death was by drowning. Police theorize that the young man, a student at Ohtori Academy, swam out to sea beyond his range and was unable to make it back to shore. Waitstaff at a noodle shop on the southern side of the bay recalled seeing the young man, who entered and exited several times, appearing confused, and left without buying anything, headed towards the seashore.
It is possible that he became disoriented and tried to swim towards the lights of the ferris wheel, visible on the opposite side of the bay.
