No one disturbs him while he digs down into the hole. It takes him a bit before his fingers bump against something firm. When he brushes away the dirt, it's a matted head of hair, a forehead of creased brows, and then the pale face of a distraught-expressioned young man.
His dying moments begin in the previous hours of the early morning, based on the lack of light and how freshly dead he seems. The man is walking away from a familiar skinny, teenage boy with blonde hair and gold eyes who keeps saying, "The jail!I told you the jail!" Desperate, the man again heads in the direction of the jail, but he's accosted by two very well-dressed men before he gets there.
One of them has something in one fist wrapped over and over with scraps of fancy, silk cloth. The young man puts up a half-hearted fight, but the other man pushes his fist into the young man's chest and fires a muffled gunshot. The young man's dying words are, "My... sister..."
If Kangai checks the body in the hole, it does, in fact, have a bullet hole in the chest over the heart. He also finds three things, only one of which he can take:
A ) A pocket watch. B ) A scrap of fancy, silk cloth. C ) A bullet casing.
If Kangai has met Kano, then Kangai will recognize the blonde teenager as one Shuuya Kano, yes! Otherwise, it'll be a teenager he'll have to find.
Kangai would also indeed feel getting shot: a nice, thick pain that burns like white-hot fire, through the front and out the back. If he's able to feel anything emotional, he'll definitely get the overwhelming, almost feverish sense of desperation and the fear (and familiarity) of seeing the well-dressed men. The young man was also very sad.
The pocket watch goes with Kangai. It's simple, beautiful and gold, but it doesn't seem to be working. There's an engraving on the inside cover which says, Kiss the hand you wish to sever. He can take it to Utsutsu Miya to learn more about it, or have it fixed.
Also...
On the way out, a well-dressed man spots Kangai leaving. Sometime afterward, the shop across the street from where Kangai works will be bought by Xian Le, and a rival coffee shop will open, drawing away some of Kangai's customers. If Kangai goes back to the gazebo area at any time, the body will be gone.
actually I'M SORRY FOR MORE QUESTIONS regarding kangai's wacky powers
So the way it works is that Kangai technically gets thoughts + feelings but doesn't literally see what his victim saw—but sight & hearing and whatnot are implicitly part of their thoughts, so he effectively does sense what they do.
Except what that means for Kano—would the victim have known him by name (in which case Kangai would've picked up on that) or no (in which case Kangai wouldn't know it was Kano (despite having met him before) beyond guessing based on the victim's own mental description of the boy)?
The young man did not know Kano by name, no! So Kangai would only know the description of Kano (blonde hair, teenager, gold eyes) based on the young man's thoughts.

also this is stressing me out but he'll take the pocket watch! watch it be the one useless item
also gomen but to double-check: since kangai feels what the victim does, he would've felt getting shot and all?
