Who discovered the collection of bloody supplies?

• A. Nakata
• B. Kafka
• C. Oshima
• D. Natsume Soseki

Answer: (A)

Nakata’s way of perceiving the world is literal and unfiltered, so he notices things others overlook. That direct awareness leads him to come across a collection of bloody supplies, a clue tied to a violent event in the story. This discovery connects his thread of the narrative to the broader mystery and drives the plot forward, showing how small, hidden traces can reveal big truths. The other characters don’t stumble on these items in the same way—Kafka’s path is more inward and place-to-place, Oshima acts as a guide, and Natsume Soseki is a literary reference rather than a participant—so Nakata’s discovery stands out as the moment that reveals the connection to the past event.
