 It's interesting that Jamie is said in the article to have cut her leg on a "flowering shrub". Odd that the creators of Oni would include that detail in the text... (see [[Oni2:Slaves of War|here]] for speculation).
-Also interesting that the newspaper seems to be cynical of the "supposed" project's purpose, which is more freedom than you'd think the press might have, what with the evidence that Oni takes place in an authoritarian state. But, of course, this could be an underground newspaper, or we could just be thinking about it too hard for some picture that only appears onscreen briefly, and at a smaller size that isn't even legible:
+Other peculiar details that were bound to come up in court during Hasegawa's trial are that: 1) Hasegawa brought a gun on his journey (prepared to shoot law enforcers? or mutant hamsters? or his dying wife?); 2) the young couple went on an adventure that would brand them enemies of the state, apparently without any concern for the fate of their children; 3) Jamie (a student in biology and an environmental activist) went bare-legged into an area that she knew was heavily polluted. The accumulation of these details makes Hasegawa's story very suspicious.

+Also interesting is that the newspaper seems to be cynical of the "supposed" project's purpose, which is more freedom than you'd think the press might have, what with the evidence that Oni takes place in an authoritarian state. But, of course, this could be an underground newspaper: marginal publications are hardly a threat to any governement, and can even be encouraged to some extent, only to be disproven by the mass media - TV and other digest networks.
+Note that the newspaper headline appears onscreen briefly, as a different picture with trimmed content (only the first paragraph is present, left-aligned rather than justified) and an illegibly small size (under 256x256). However, Hasegawa's narrative and the accompanying "polaroids" still convey most of the details stressed above.
