Summary
In one world, "Zilch Alexander" committed a serial murder aboard a train that went near flawlessly. He almost got away with it... Yet four detectives lost their lives because of his schemes.
In another world... This same man plans a little TOO cautiously, brings something aboard that wasn't there in the other worldline. One might think this would change very little. It's just a contingency.
... But changes in the timeline create ripples. Pucci takes a little more interest in the amnesiac. Yuma passes out in front of the other detectives as opposed to the restroom, and now the Master Detectives are aware of the incapacitation plot. Suddenly, the planned serial murder becomes more complicated.
How will the events aboard the Amaterasu Express pan out differently...? Will it even matter, by the time they reach Kanai Ward?

Summary
Set after the Nail Man Case, but before the events of Chapter 2 proper. Will feature some sidequests from Chapter 2, however.
Yuma and the train gang made it to Kanai Ward, and now they set about the task of helping a city that quite frankly doesn't want their help. Amaterasu rears its ugly head at nearly every turn, and everywhere they go there's a lot of misery, resignation, and despair...
Hopefully the detectives can do something to change that. Little by little. And while inspiring hope in the townspeople, forge bonds with each other that can weather the oncoming storms. Each chapter will feature at least one duo of detectives, going about their daily investigations, duties, and downtime. There will be highs and lows as they go about their lives, and learn to put up with each other.

Summary
The murder cases at Aetheria Academy have all been resolved. Karen Stromwell was arrested...and consequently executed. The schoolgirls of Aetheria have been spared, whether or not they were involved with the case. Life in Kanai Ward goes on.
... It's not easy finding a path forward for some people. But Aiko would want them to live, and to be happy. So her dear friends try their best to honor that wish. Even if Karen's death leaves a sour taste in their mouth... Damn that Yomi Hellsmile. He ruins everything...
The detectives carry on trying to help the citizens of Kanai Ward and investigating Kanai Ward's Ultimate Secret, unknowing of the attack that would be hitting their sub in just a few weeks... Amaterasu is dragging their name through the mud, making them a clear target of scorn, so it's harder to earn peoples' trust... They've got a few people in their corner, but that's only a small comfort.
Each chapter will focus on a NDA detective, episodic format. All takes place before Chapter 3.

Summary
Before Yuma and the detectives from the WDO came to the city, before the rain, Kanai Ward laughed, wept, and lived. Life wasn't perfect, but it was theirs. No Amaterasu overlords cracking down with an iron fist... The city had hope. Dreams for the future.
The Nocturnal Detective Agency was born seventeen years ago. And this is where it all begins.
