So I noticed earlier that the poem here, reads better when skipping every other line.
I just put together that the first letters of those lines spell "the echoes".
So the answer we are looking for probably lies on the lines between those.

I should mention that I am taking that page as "where we came from" since it is the one labeled "tragedy".

edit: Here is a transcription.

Good eye, Delusional. I have been looking at these lines and trying to find anything out of it that I can. It got me looking back at the CSS for the page again and I noticed that the messages found in the CSS have been pushed together now. Are they trying to point something out?

It has been bugging me, "Beware numbers, count onLies." Why is the "L" capitalized and the words merged. Is it an anagram for "Leonis." I don't see a connection, but it bugs me.

Something unrelated to what we are working on at the moment, but I wanted to note it.

Studio 1813
Shibuya, Tokyo 150-0001
JP

The number "1813" also appears above the "zig-zag" stair case image. Related?

Edit(Topic related): The Japanese above "entrance" was translated to "pay attention", there is an arrow directly above that pointing to the "face" which is also found on the 13 hour clock picture.

Well, Darth. That would be a yes and a no.
The nyzen site is OOG (out of game). Random martin is a real artist out there somewhere, and that site has been there longer than qu13e.
But that's strictly speaking.
Because if I hadn't have been familiar with any of his work, namely his frequent use of that line, I wouldn't have known to look between "the echoes".

Edit: About the puzzle, I don't know why but the punctuation stands out to me. I have noticed that there is a comma at the end of the first and last sentence, as well as the middle. Not sure that really helps...

I'll try to take a swing a editing the wiki to include known -rM quotes and other historical items in a way that will make them easy to look through.

Good idea. A lot has been found since the last time it was updated. I have
been using JPSeek on the bike image and have not been able to figure out
the passphrase. I am stumped.

I noticed something about the images the other day (referring to the hand,
bike, letters, etc.) In the html codes, the [img src] and [img alt] tags all use
the same names except for the image of the bottle of liqu13r. The image
of the bottle of liqu13r, oddly enough, has the same [img alt] name as the
image of the bike. For instance:

SRC | ALT | PG TITLE |IMG DESC
gsh10a|gsh10a--010108 = hand
g10sha|g10sha--151415 = wine prose
gs10ha|gs10ha--311007 = I am the key letter

hg01as|hg01as--111511 = bike
hga01s|hga01s--011103 = B&W sketch
h01gas|h01gas--311005 =canister spies sketch

aixgsh|aixgsh -- 311001 = binary goggles
agixsh|agixsh -- 011005 = rM letter
agsixh|hg01as --201921 = liqu13r

Could it be a distraction or a clue? He quickly spiralled into paranoia...

Darth, I just started in on this as the New Year hit, so I am in the same boat
as you. This ARG has been an on-going "game" for a few years, now. I
guess Randomeis is the only one that has been around since its inception. As
you noticed with the page you found, there are a lot of OOG (out of game)
references to Random Martin. Makes you wonder where the lines is drawn.
