Reports of 'knocking' at Suzaki Third Housing have risen from a previously reported 34 to 35. Just a day after it was confirmed that every floor from the first to the fifth had received at least one report, the early hours of the 21st brought a report back on the first floor. The management association says, 'It looks like a full circuit that's returned to where it started, but we can't say that's a real pattern.' As before, the truth of the matter remains unresolved.

Reports of "knocking" at Suzaki Third Housing have risen from a previously reported 34 to 35. As previously reported, a report on the 20th meant every floor from the first to the fifth had now received at least one — but the report in the early hours of the 21st, around 3 a.m., came again from the first floor, where the pattern first began. The two-knock count and the continued absence of anything unusual on camera or from the covert patrol officer remain unchanged.

"It's easy to see it as making a full circuit of every floor and coming back to the first," a management association representative said, "but I think it's too soon to call one lap a pattern." The Patrol Guild's Tokei chapter officer was again stationed on a different floor and detected no presence or sound at the time of the report. The added security cameras again recorded nothing unusual, and the permeation index stayed at normal levels. One resident said, "Hearing that it's made a full circuit somehow makes me brace myself more for wherever comes next." The association is keeping its previously announced policy of asking residents not to respond, and both the truth of the matter and its cause remain unresolved.
