Transcript
Rain pours down the outside of the closed window. Momo stands against the glass with her hands together and her magnifying glass hanging from one wrist, finally faced with the obvious cause of the knocking. Ganta waits behind her with his juice box, and Biscuit sleeps below. MOMO: “It brought... reinforcements.”

Momo presses both hands to the rain-covered window and blinks at the downpour while Ganta and the sleeping Biscuit remain behind her.
About this chapter
A faint tap at the Tiny Case Agency window convinces Momo that a secret visitor is sending a coded warning. As the taps multiply, she investigates the desk, the mini-fridge, Biscuit, and finally the glass itself—while Ganta calmly identifies rain on page five. When a brief shower reveals the harmless culprit, Momo claims her counter-signal drove the visitor away, closes the case, and falls asleep.
