Dahlia's ritual

A fire breaks out that burns down six houses in the business district. It was declared that Alessa's dead body had been found at the Gillespie house, which was the origin of the fire. However, the cause of this fire was a ritual that Dahlia conducted using her daughter Alessa in order to bring about the coming of God. Lisa nursed Alessa, who was made to continue living by means of an incantation.   Kaufmann probably replaced the body.

Drug circulation

After the fire in the business district, a drug known as "PTV" becomes prevalent in town. First a criminal investigator and then the mayor, who had redoubled efforts to impose control, met with mysterious deaths one after the other. PTV was circulated among tourists and the town was corroded.   An unseen alliance existed between the hospital and the religious organization.
