After he found the next clue in his search, without wasting any time Krist quickly visited the Pub again the next day. He tried to avoid Singto so he quickly through passing the room where Singto was and sneak to photograph the location. He stared at all photographs for a while and tried to search for any clue in there.

He observes the Singto in another photo standing in front of the counter for a moment as he remembers what they did last night, Krist's face turns blushing immediately. He suddenly notice there is someone he knew among the customer in the photo, a guy he met in the city hall. 

"So he also knew it."

"But, how can a photo accuse someone as the murderer?"

Krist was unable to think of anything else, then he take down the photos from the wall and take them out from the frame one by one to check on the back, but he found nothing. He then also checks the wall behind the photo and touches it carefully, looking at the bumpy tiny holes like on the surface, but also nothing. He really feels hopeless and put everything back into it. Suddenly someone calls him from behind.

"Krist, you came?" Krist startled by the sound as he know that is Singto, he then slowly turned his body.

"What are you doing here?" Singto asked him then look around them. "I wonder what this place looks like in your time, can you show me, please."

"It's just a pub, nothing special and it's still closed this time," Krist explained.

"So, what are you doing here? Why are you checking the wall? There is something you don't want me to see there?" Singto asked suspiciously.

"It's just an old photograph..." answered Krist. "And...I found your photo among them...."

"Really? Please, let me see it!" Krist nodded heavily and show him around his time.

"Wow, this is wonderful!" Singto exclaimed in amazement when found himself standing in the middle of a large room inside the Pub.

"The gallery is gone..." said Krist.

"Yeah, but my original gallery wasn't here..." replied Singto, then he approach the wall where Krist standing while staring at the photographs.

"Huh?" the light on Krist's head suddenly pops up. "What do you mean? Then where is the original gallery?"

Singto seems to ignore his question as he focuses on the photograph. "When did someone take the photo of me and put it here?" he tries to touch the frame.

"Well, the pub owner told me that this picture was here from the beginning. Maybe some photographer that took it and display it here to remember you."

"What do you mean? To remember me? Something actually happened to me in your time?" Singto asked in suspicion.

Krist just realized that his tongue was slipped. "I don't know, but as you saw this gallery of yours transformed into a Pub, so that means you're not living in this town anymore..."

"Did the pub owner tell you what happened to this music gallery?"

"Should I tell him everything?" Krist asked himself. "Maybe I could get some information from the main witnesses." After thinking for a while, Krist walked past Singto a few steps forward and begin to speak.

"I have investigated it a little," Krist confessed. "At the first, I was curious about your past, P'Sing. I am curious what happened to you? How can we meet at the house? What has happened to this place?"

"You investigated me?" Singto asked in disbelief. "What do you find?"

"If I told you, can you put yourself in the third person and just listen to it?"
