The victim—a small white mouse with distinctive burgundy felt ears and a matching burgundy tail—was found positioned face-down inside the shallow dish, which had been placed deliberately atop a gray silicone mat. The staging is identical to Incident #20. The message is unmistakable. The Toybox Killer has returned to his stage.
Investigators arriving at the scene noted the chilling precision of the arrangement: the body carefully placed within the water-filled vessel, the tail curled along the dish's interior rim, the posture suggesting deliberate choreography rather than careless disposal. This is the second time the killer has used this exact staging—same dish, same mat, same grim composition. What began as a killing spree has become something else entirely: a grim opera, with Kitty Toy Land as its unwilling audience.
He's repeating himself now. Same location, same vessel, same method. He wants us to know he can do this whenever he chooses—and there's nothing we can do to stop him.

The discovery comes just two days after Incident #20, which had brought a fleeting hope that the weekend's violence might pause. That hope died at 3:26 PM on a Monday afternoon, when unsuspecting citizens stumbled upon the grim tableau in broad daylight.
The killer is not finished—and Monday was never going to be easy.
With this latest killing, the toll now stands at 23 confirmed victims across 21 incidents in just 19 days. The individual known to police and the media as "The Toybox Killer" continues to operate with impunity across Kitty Toy Land. No witnesses. No forensic breakthroughs. No arrests. Residents are urged to remain vigilant, report any suspicious activity to the Kitty Toy Land Police Department, and secure all water sources immediately.
