Nah. Itโ€™s probably a curse that can control people. And its grade?
Gojo

Grade 3. Simple enough, right? You should gather information before heading out. Iโ€™ll set up a curtain once youโ€™re both done.

Worker
Worker
Weโ€™ve been getting new shipments since we took orders from a new business, so most of us had to stay late into the night to unload them and pack โ€™em to the warehouses.
Maki
Maki
How late into the night?
Worker
Worker
Depends. Some of us stay till midnight or even the crack of dawn.
Worker

We noticed some of our colleagues disappearing over the weeks and dismissed it as them needing rest. Howeverโ€ฆ

A week ago, during my shift, I saw one of them walking too close to the edge of the ports.
Worker
Worker
I tried to call him, but nothing reached him. Eventuallyโ€ฆ he jumped off. That wasnโ€™t the first time it happened.
Y/N
Y/N
How many more times did it happen after that incident? And what time did the incident happen?
Worker
Worker
I think it was near midnight. Every night, one of them would go. Itโ€™s gotta be some siren or creature.
Worker
Worker
Thereโ€™s something out there. You ladies should leave too. No one stays here after 10 anymore.

So, whatโ€™d you find?
Maki
Maki
Every night, one of them dies by jumping off the port. Which explains why thereโ€™s some sort of barrier near it now.
Gojo
Gojo
Iโ€™ll put up a curtain so the both of you can locate the curse easier.
Gojo
Gojo
A curtain makes you invisible to the outside world, so you wonโ€™t have to worry about being seen by people.

Thatโ€™s actually kinda useful. What if I forget to put up a curtain, though?
