Page 13. A single wide panel — the same angle and framing as page 1, closing the loop. Same window, same boxes, same warm late-afternoon light. Momo lies face-down fast asleep across the low desk, cheek on the open blank notebook, coat spread out behind her, magnifying glass fallen beside her hand. Poking out of her coat pocket: one small clear plastic pudding cup, scraped completely clean. Ganta sits on the cardboard boxes, sipping his juice box, unimpressed. The white cat is curled in her box beside him, asleep again. GANTA: "Sleep-eating again."
Image description
Wide view of the same clubroom as the opening page: a chibi girl lies face-down asleep across the low desk on an open notebook, her magnifying glass fallen beside her and an empty pudding cup poking from her coat pocket, while a chibi boy sits on boxes with his juice box beside a curled-up white cat.
About this chapter
The Tiny Case Agency's first official case: one pudding cup, purchased and refrigerated by Momo herself, is gone. She has a crumb trail, a prime suspect in a cat-ear hoodie, a paw print, and absolute certainty. Ganta has a juice box and one very short answer. The trail leads somewhere Momo really does not want it to lead.
