Tantei: (I don't think I should be here. My gut is telling me to leave.) Excuse me guys. I think it's time for me to go.

Genji: Hold i-

Tantei: *doesn't stop and leaves through the front door*

(8:30 pm)..............................

Tantei: *at home shirtless with a big bandage over his left shoulder beginning to put on another shirt over his torso*

Phone pings........

Tantei: huh? *looks at his phone*

A Private message chat...........

Tomoko: "Sorry about what happened earlier and I hope you're feeling better."

Tantei: "Thanks. It's getting better, so don't worry too much."

Tomoko: "Oh ok. If you're feeling better already, do you want to join me at Shibuya crossing?"

Tantei: "To talk?"

Tomoko: "Yeah."

Tantei: "Alright then. Sure why not."

Tomoko: "Nice, see you in half an hour or less then."

Tantei: "Right"

Out of the private message chat......

Tantei: *turns phone off and puts it away as he gets ready to leave* (Wait a minute...) *stops* (Is Tomoko trying to tell me something?.... What if she's The Puzzler? That's possible....) *brings something with him as he puts that thing in his pocket* (I'll bring this too just in case.)

(8:55 pm) Shibuya Crossing...........................

Tomoko: *looks to the side of her and waves with a smile*

Tantei: *waves back* Hey.

Tomoko: Let's go somewhere high up.

Tantei: Why?

Tomoko: ..So that not many people could hear us. 

Tantei: *taken aback* (Is what I thought true!? It can't be, right!?)

Tomoko: Tantei? What's wrong?

Tantei: *slowly walks over to Tomoko as they walk to go somewhere "high up" * O-oh it's nothing.

Tomoko: ..ok then.

Tantei and Tomoko: *in Shibuya crossing still, standing on top of a building watching the people of Shibuya walk through the area*
