Page 5. Two stacked panels, read top to bottom. Top panel: Ganta sips his pale-blue juice box, glances sideways completely deadpan, and points one stubby hand flatly toward the small white mini-fridge in the corner, its door ajar. GANTA: 'The fridge is open.' Bottom panel: Momo stays crouched over the puddle with her magnifying glass and waves her free hand dismissively without even looking at him. MOMO: 'Water does not lie. Hush.'

이미지 설명

Two stacked panels. Top: a chibi boy in a mint-green cat-ear hoodie sips his juice box and points flatly toward the mini-fridge, whose door is ajar. Bottom: the chibi girl in the yellow coat stays crouched over the puddle with her magnifying glass and waves him off without looking.

이 챕터에 대해

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.
