“Were I home in London, I’d see if I could find any of my old mates from high school to go on a pub crawl with me; that’s usually what we’d do, anyway. But here in Japan, where I have very little – if any – friends, I think I’ll spend the evening digging through cold case files at the station. You never know when you’ll find something interesting that the others have dropped, and I love tying up loose ends.

"That said, I’m certain Baaya will do something for me, which is usually eclairs with breakfast. Perhaps I’ll see if I my father can be too busy to meet me for lunch in downtown Tokyo, as well. It would be par for the course.”

"I think I’ll take Watson out on Saturday, though. The weather is still nice enough for camping, and we haven’t gone hunting in a while. Perhaps I’ll even be able to convince Baaya to get me the keys for the cabin; it’d be a lot nicer than pitching a tent with an outdoor perch.”
