Ep. 20: Togusa theorizes The Laughing Man targets paper publications using Salinger's novel

20

Following the events of PORTRAITZ, Togusa utilizes J. D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye as a foundation to formulate a new hypothesis. He develops a theory suggesting that The Laughing Man is specifically targeting materials that have been published on paper. This analytical approach marks a shift in his investigation methods, drawing direct inspiration from the literary work to interpret the antagonist's current actions and potential motivations. The narrative focuses on this intellectual deduction process rather than immediate physical confrontation, highlighting Togusa's reliance on textual evidence and literary analysis to understand the ongoing threats.
