[ Sherlock is quiet a long moment. Chaos... like what he sees every time he enters that other world and every time he tries to sleep. He needs to make sense of it all, but every time he seems to make any progress, the truth feels further away than ever. Could his wish have something to do with that? The only thing he could remember was screaming for Watson and Jon because he couldn't take it anymore. ]

It's an organized mass abduction, upwards of fifty maybe even hundreds. Watson first brought the case to my attention, although we had no idea at the time just how big it was. We started in London, but the trail took us to the Black Edelweiss Institute in Switzerland and then New Orleans, Louisiana. Others investigating the disappearances have already paid with their lives, and if Watson and I can't solve this, I fear the missing will be lost forever.

[ His voice gains a tremor that wasn't there before. Try as he might, he can't disguise it as something else because he can see it too clearly. Hear the chants the Edelweiss Institute had the missing learn and recite.

A large cult following is responsible for the abductions, but we haven't worked out why they are doing all this. I may have our next lead if I can make out what it says.

[ He motions to the occult book beside him on the bed. Given that Mikotoba is a doctor, he'll likely be able to tell the cover is made from human skin. The book is also strangely warm. ]
