Page 10. A silent, slightly high-angle reveal. On the clubroom floorboards the pale dusty boot-prints form one continuous closed loop, ringing all the way around Biscuit's open cardboard box in the centre, where the cat sits up watching. The loop plainly runs right up to — and starts from — Momo's own two brown ankle boots at the near edge of frame; one boot is caught mid-step, lifting off the wood with a fresh pale dusty print pressed beneath its dusted sole. Only her boots and coat hem are in view. The whole gag laid bare: one loop, one boot, her own. No dialogue.
圖片說明
A silent overhead view of the clubroom floor: a closed loop of pale dusty boot-sole prints rings an open cardboard box where the white cat sits up, and the loop runs right up to the girl's own two brown boots at the edge of frame, one boot lifting mid-step with a fresh dusty print beneath it. No text.
關於本章
Momo spots a trail of pale dusty boot-prints on the clubroom floor and declares that an intruder is circling the Tiny Case Agency. She follows the tracks around the room, magnifying glass out — and each lap she is certain there are MORE of them, a whole gang closing the ring. Ganta tells her on page five that they are her own boots. She hushes him and keeps circling, adding fresh prints with every step, until the trail loops right back to the two little boots on her own feet. Unable to admit she spent the afternoon chasing herself, Momo declares she surrounded the gang and drove them off, closes the case, and falls asleep inside the ring of prints. Ganta delivers the verdict once she is out: she walked in a circle.
