Page 6. An eye-level panel tracking Momo as she follows the trail. She strides forward with one tiny arm flung out to point along the pale dusty boot-prints, magnifying glass in her other hand, as they curve ahead of her in a wide arc that rings around Biscuit's open cardboard box. Biscuit watches from the box at the middle of the arc. MOMO: 'The trail rings the whole agency.'

The chibi girl in the yellow coat strides forward, one arm flung out to point along a curving trail of pale dusty boot-prints that arcs around an open cardboard box where the round white cat sits watching.
About this chapter
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.
