Transcript
Momo raises one coat-swallowed hand to silence Ganta while gripping her magnifying glass in the other. Her eyes stay fixed on the increasingly wet window. Ganta continues sipping behind her, and Biscuit dozes in her box. MOMO: “Hush. The visitor is impatient.”

Momo hushes Ganta without looking at him, holding her magnifying glass ready as more drops gather on the window.
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.
