Page 7. A silent close-up of Biscuit in her open cardboard box. Her big round dark eyes are open and calm and her head is turned to follow something passing at floor level, utterly unbothered. On the floorboards right beside her box sits one fresh pale dusty boot-print, with more of the identical prints curving away past the box — clearly footwear, not paws. No dialogue.

关于本章
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.
