Page 7. A single silent still-life panel, the same framing as page 3. Exactly one small pudding cup with a tiny spoon sits alone on the low wooden desk, warm light spilling in from the square window above. Nobody is in frame. The phantom pudding is back, as calm and unbothered as ever. No dialogue.
Image description
A still-life close-up of a single small pudding cup with a tiny spoon alone on a wooden desk beneath a sunlit window, the same framing as before. No characters, no text.
About this chapter
A pudding cup nobody bought appears on the clubroom desk — and the next afternoon another one is back. Momo is certain a rival detective is leaving calling cards and follows a trail of tiny pudding drips across the floorboards to crack the case. The trail leads to Ganta, who gets a free pudding with lunch every day and hates pudding. Unable to admit she was wrong, Momo declares the case closed, eats the evidence, and falls asleep.
