Suzaki Complex No. 3 'Knocking' Falls Silent Before Dawn on the 26th, a Day After the Second Pass Came Full Circle

The pre-dawn 'knocking' reports that have continued at Suzaki Complex No. 3 produced not a single report before dawn on the 26th. As previously reported, the 'second pass' completed a full circuit from the first to the fifth floor without breaking order on the 25th — and this marks the first night without a report since the reports began in early September. The management association says it does not consider the matter over.

Not a single "knocking" report came in from Suzaki Complex No. 3 before dawn on the 26th. According to the management association, coming right after the previously reported "second pass" that circled from the first to the fifth floor without breaking order between the 21st and the 25th, the board member on duty said, "I half expected a sixth report tonight, a continuation of the second pass, but nothing happened." This marks the first night without any report since the first one came in early September.

A covert patrol officer was, as previously reported, stationed on the fifth floor, but with no activity there was nothing to report. A Patrol Guild representative said, "Nothing happening is still something we record. A quiet night can sometimes turn out to matter later, in hindsight."

According to the TDA, the permeation index around the complex held at normal levels before dawn on the 26th, with no observation event corresponding to a Yuragi confirmed. The management association said, "It's too early to call this over. There have been gaps of a few days before, so we'll keep the same advisory in place for now." The notice urging residents not to answer any pre-dawn knocking remains unchanged.

Both the truth and the cause remain unresolved.

    Suzaki Complex No. 3 'Knocking' Reaches 39 Reports — 'Second Pass' Completes a Full Circuit

    Suzaki Complex No. 3's ongoing pre-dawn 'knocking' reports rose from 38 to 39 before dawn on the 25th. This time it came from the fifth floor, the fifth report in the previously reported 'second pass' (1F on the 21st, 2F on the 22nd, 3F on the 23rd, 4F on the 24th) — meaning the second pass has now completed a full circuit from the first floor to the fifth without once breaking order. The management association held its 'still within the range of coincidence' position, but for the first time went slightly further: 'Now that a full circuit has lined up, I suppose we do have to think about it a little.' A covert patrol officer, again stationed on a different floor, could not detect anything.

    Suzaki Complex No. 3 'Knocking' Reaches 38 Reports — Fourth Straight Match to the First Round's Order

    Suzaki Complex No. 3's ongoing pre-dawn 'knocking' reports rose from 37 to 38 before dawn on the 24th. This time it came from the fourth floor, the fourth report in the previously reported 'second pass' following the first, second, and third floors — meaning the order has now matched the first pass four times running. The management association again held its cautious line: 'It looks like a pattern is forming, but it's still within the range of coincidence.' A covert patrol officer stationed on the third floor was again unable to detect anything.
