Page 9. A low-angle panel looking up as Momo marches fast, her coat flaring behind her like a cape, thrusting her oversized magnifying glass ahead, chin lifted. The pale dusty boot-prints curve in a clear ring behind and around her — her own fresh prints joining the loop with every stride. Biscuit watches from her box. MOMO: 'Faster. Before they close the ring.'

Low-angle view of the chibi girl in the yellow coat marching fast, coat flaring like a cape, thrusting her magnifying glass ahead. Pale dusty boot-prints curve in a clear ring behind and around her; the white cat watches from a box.
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.
