Transcript
Page 9. A single wide panel. No dialogue. The clubroom has been taken apart. Cardboard boxes lie overturned, their contents spread across the floorboards, the folding metal chair on its side, the corkboard knocked crooked, pencils scattered everywhere. Momo is head and shoulders inside an upturned box. Only her lower half, her dragging coat hem and two small boots on tiptoe are visible. The search is not going well.
Image description
Wide wordless view of the clubroom completely dismantled — cardboard boxes overturned, contents strewn across the floorboards, the folding chair on its side — with a chibi girl head-first inside an upturned box, only her lower half and dragging yellow coat hem showing.
About this chapter
Momo's magnifying glass has vanished, which means the Tiny Case Agency's greatest detective must work without her greatest tool — so she investigates the windowsill, a suspicious condensation ring and eventually the room itself through a circle made of her own fist. Ganta tells her exactly where it is on page five. She runs straight past him, dismantles the clubroom, and only finds the truth when a very round white cat shifts in her sleep.
