The Pusher’s Method

The Pusher’s Method Violence disguised as chance Morning Glory studies traffic patterns and pushes victims into moving vehicles, making deliberate killings resemble accidents. He treats timing and observation as the essential parts of his profession. A woman questions whether the Pusher is real. He rejects her skepticism and later kills her at the intersection, illustrating how easily his method can turn an argument into irreversible violence.

A Return to the Intersection

A Return to the Intersection A remembered killing Morning Glory performs another hit at the intersection, pushing a man into traffic. The scene recalls an earlier job there, though the memories surface in fragments rather than a clear chronology. His detached routine suggests that violence has become a position from which he watches the world, rather than a sudden departure from it. The repeated location links the job to the old underworld conflict.

The Hospital Intervention

The Hospital Intervention A different use of force A go-between asks Morning Glory to protect Wataru and investigate a suspicious man in a white coat. Morning Glory’s associate discovers the intruder tampering with hospital equipment and alerts him. Morning Glory kills the fleeing attacker by pushing him into traffic. The act is still an execution, but its immediate purpose is to stop a child from being harmed.
