The light is gone. Momo stands at the sill, hands closed on nothing, blinking down at them, her magnifying glass drooping. Beyond the window the sky has deepened to dusk blue, and the whole room is bare of gold. MOMO: 'It's gone. It took everything.'
Descrição da imagem
Momo stands at the windowsill with her hands closed on empty air, blinking down in dismay, magnifying glass drooping. The window shows a deep blue dusk sky. There is no golden light left anywhere; the room is dim and cool.
Sobre este capítulo
Late afternoon at the Tiny Case Agency, the warm patch of sunlight on the floor is shrinking — and Momo is certain a light-thief is dragging the daylight out the window inch by inch. She measures the theft, stalks the retreating gold across the room, clears a sleeping Biscuit, and finally corners the last sliver on the windowsill and pounces — just as it winks out at dusk. Ganta tells her on page five that the sun is going down. She hushes him and chases it anyway. Unable to admit the sun simply set, Momo declares the thief escaped with the daylight and vows the agency will recover every drop tomorrow, then falls asleep in the blue dusk. Ganta delivers the verdict once she is out: the sun set — it comes back on its own.
