Page 4. A close shot down near the floorboards. Momo is on her hands and knees with her chin near the floor, peering through her oversized magnifying glass at the small puddle of clear water; one of her huge amber eyes is hugely magnified through the round lens. She is deadly serious. MOMO: 'Fresh water. The tide came at dawn.'

Close view of the chibi girl in the yellow coat and red scarf down on her hands and knees, chin near the floor, peering through her big magnifying glass at a small puddle of clear water so one of her huge amber eyes is enormously magnified through the lens.
关于本章
A small puddle spreads across the Tiny Case Agency floorboards, and Momo is certain the agency is under siege by a rising flood — an intruder who crept in at dawn with dripping boots, water meaning to drown them out. She wrings out her own soaked coat hem as evidence, climbs to 'high ground' on the folding chair, and finally tracks the tide to its source in the corner. Ganta tells her on page five that the fridge is open. She hushes him, follows the drips herself, flings the mini-fridge door wide to confront the intruder — and a cold drip lands on her nose. Unable to admit she left it ajar, she shoves the door shut, declares the breach sealed and the tide turned, and falls asleep. Ganta delivers the verdict once she is out: she left it open.
